Featured Community Services

Wellness Wheel

Our Wellness Wheel is built to address every resident’s unique needs. We designed this program to promote a holistic approach to good health for our seniors and give their families peace of mind.

The Wellness Wheel is comprised of our six dimensions of wellness, which include:

  • Physical: promoting healthy and engaged lifestyles.
  • Spiritual: encouraging residents to life with meaning and purpose.
  • Social: facilitating interactions between friends, family, and community members.
  • Emotional: acknowledging and exploring feelings.
  • Intellectual: inspiring residents to embrace their creative side and seek new knowledge.
  • Vocational: empowering residents to use their skills to express themselves.

Our Integrative Health program provides non-pharmacological support for mind, body, and spirit. It is intended to supplement our medical services and support residents on their journey towards health, healing, and harmony.

Integrative Health includes the following therapies:

  • Essential Oils: These plant extracts use pleasant aromas to help restore physical and emotional stability. They may be effective in helping individuals manage pain, anxiety, and nausea. Essential oils may also have beneficial properties for memory, mood, and learning.
  • Hand & Foot Massage: Using a light touch to massage the hands or feet can be extremely relaxing. We sometimes use essential oils in conjunction with our massages to create a more complete sensory experience.
  • Healing Music: Soothing music can help people deal with stress and express their emotions. We choose specific music to create a serene atmosphere, and often arrange live music performances for the community.
  • Guided Imagery: The imagination is a powerful tool. Directing your thoughts towards healing may be therapeutic for residents who experience pain, anxiety, or trouble sleeping.
  • Energy-Based Healing Modalities: we use trained practitioners to offer Reiki or healing touch guided by intention. Many people report feeling calm and well-rested after these sessions.

Integrative health services are provided by our nursing staff as well as Community Life staff. Contact us to learn more about these therapies and how they may help support your wellness goals.
