August Is Wellness Month, Highlighting Wholesome Senior Existence

August is designated as National Wellness Month, a time to concentrate on care and establishing wholesome habits that carry all year long.

Givens Communities acknowledges that wellness is particularly necessary for seniors. Through life enrichment actions, older adults want to take care of a well-rounded life-style tending to psychological, bodily, emotional and social wants.

The imaginative and prescient of Resident Services Department at Givens Estates in Asheville is to be a compassionate and holistic assist system that empowers every resident to stay with dignity, objective, and well-being all through their growing older journey.

“We envision a Resident Services Department where spiritual care, social work, and nurse navigation come together in seamless collaboration-honoring the whole person by addressing their emotional, physical, social, and spiritual needs,” mentioned Joshua Arendt, Resident Services Director. “There are special interest groups that convene regularly to discuss chronic illnesses and provide health education. Additionally, through the nurse navigator, there are opportunities for personalized wellness guidance, including advice on diet, exercise, stress management, and medication management.”

At Givens Highland Farms in Black Mountain, improvements for senior vitality and searching for methods to realize wellness and high quality of life means “meeting residents where they are,” mentioned Jennifer Trent, Resident Services Director. A full calendar is offered with alternatives for resident to broaden social connections, obtain customized preventative care, and benefit from the many advantages of an ideally-located neighborhood that helps senior independence and inclusion.

Givens Affordable Communities of Givens Gerber Park in south Asheville and Givens Great Laurels in Waynesville embrace that mission as nicely.

“Our supportive services team in collaboration with our community nurse assists residents in maintaining independence through coordinated care, advocacy, and wellness programs tailored to seniors,” mentioned Heather Winn, Affordable Communities Director of Property Management. “Residents thrive with their preferred retirement lifestyle, as they live confidently, comfortably and affordably.”
