Celebrating Activity Professionals Week with a Little “EnerG”
Healthy Dose of EnerG®by Aegis Therapies Expands into Golden LivingCenters
The EnerG® by Aegis wellness program continues its expansion into Golden LivingCenters in the new markets of North Carolina, Minnesota, Indiana, South Dakota and Nebraska. EnerG Wellness programming offers a unique integrated approach to wellness through factors that impact an individual’s health on a daily basis. Based on the seven dimensions of wellness – social, occupational, emotional, physical, intellectual, environmental and spiritual, EnerG delivers results to active aging adults. This allows them to regain strength and independence to experience renewed quality of life.
Golden LivingCenter – Hillcrest of Wayzata in Wayzata, Minn.. took to heart the importance of offering programming that fulfills the seven dimensions of wellness. In December they captured the essence of the season of giving & sharing through their Remembrance Tree event.
The whole building got in the spirit of making special “guardian angel ornaments” for their loved ones who had passed away by writing their names on the ornament and decorating the tree. The family members of the beloved residents no longer with us especially were touching since they provided an opportunity for spouses, daughters and granddaughters to come together and remember their loved one.
Many existing activities were re-purposed, or new goalswere identified keeping the seven dimensions of wellness in mind in order to involve every department from marketing to rehabilitation. As they kick-off 2015, they have boosted their active participation programs to seven days a week. Programs include cardio kickboxing, chair fitness and staying fit, to name a few.
