August is National Wellness Month, a dedicated time for all of us to pause, reflect on our overall well-being, and commit to nurturing a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle. For older adults, this focus on wellness takes on profound significance.
At Crestwood Manor, we understand that true wellness is a deeply personal journey, yet one that flourishes within a supportive community. Located in the heart of Whiting, NJ, Crestwood Manor, a proud Springpoint community, embodies a philosophy that recognizes wellness as a dynamic, whole-person experience.
The Importance of Whole-Person Wellness
At Crestwood Manor, we focus on whole-person wellness, recognizing that all aspects of your well-being are connected. A strong body supports a sharp mind, an active mind contributes to emotional stability, and meaningful connections enrich your spirit. Improvements in one area positively impact the others.
This comprehensive approach guides LivWell, our senior wellness program, empowering residents to actively manage their health and embrace aging with strength.
We integrate the Seven Dimensions of Wellness into daily life:
- Physical: Encouraging activity, healthy eating, and proper rest.
- Emotional: Fostering emotional resilience, self-acceptance, and stress management.
- Intellectual: Promoting lifelong learning, creativity, and mental stimulation.
- Social: Nurturing connections, community engagement, and a sense of belonging.
- Spiritual: Supporting personal values, meaning, and purpose in life.
- Vocational: Encouraging engagement in meaningful work or activities, paid or unpaid.
- Environmental: Promoting healthy surroundings and a connection to nature.
Crestwood Manor’s Commitment to Comprehensive Wellness
At Crestwood Manor, our commitment to comprehensive wellness is evident in every aspect of community life. As a Springpoint community, we provide an environment where intentional programs, healthy lifestyle choices, and abundant opportunities for social connection are not just available, but are woven into the daily fabric of our residents’ lives. We believe that by nurturing the mind, body, and spirit, we empower seniors to live their best lives, every single day.
Nourishing the Body: Physical Activity and Nutrition
Physical activity remains a cornerstone of healthy aging. Regular exercise helps maintain muscle strength, improve balance and flexibility, enhance cardiovascular health, and boost energy levels. This significantly reduces the risk of falls and helps manage chronic conditions.
At Crestwood Manor, our senior wellness programs offer a diverse array of fitness options tailored to all abilities and preferences. Residents can participate in energizing group classes like chair yoga, low-impact aerobics, or balance and mobility workshops. Our well-equipped fitness center provides opportunities for individual workouts, and walking clubs encourage residents to explore our scenic grounds and engage with nature.
Similarly, a well-balanced diet provides the essential vitamins, minerals, and energy needed to support all bodily functions, boost the immune system, and maintain cognitive health. We take pride in our dining services, offering nutritious, delicious, chef-prepared meals made with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Our culinary team is committed to providing diverse menus that cater to various dietary needs and preferences, making healthy eating a truly enjoyable experience.
Stimulating the Mind: Mental Engagement and Lifelong Learning
At Crestwood Manor, our senior wellness programs include intellectually stimulating activities designed to keep minds engaged and curious. Residents can participate in:
- Lifelong learning programs
- Book clubs
- Creative arts classes, such as painting, pottery, or music
- Guest speakers
- Educational seminars
- And more
Uplifting the Spirit: Social Connection and Community
The power of social connection for older adults cannot be ignored. Loneliness and social isolation negatively affect both mental and physical health. Strong social connections and active community engagement are vital antidotes, fostering belonging, purpose, and emotional well-being. At Crestwood Manor, we prioritize a vibrant social environment.
Our senior wellness programs offer many ways for residents to connect, build friendships, and share experiences. From social gatherings and celebrations to card games, clubs, and volunteer opportunities, residents stay connected, contribute, and form meaningful relationships.
