Embracing Wellness in All Its’ Dimensions
Wellness is a topic that has been getting an increasing amount of attention these days, and for good reason. Those that embrace all aspects of their wellness are consistently found to be happier, healthier and even live longer.
The concept of wellness is about much more than simply your physical health, it’s about living your best life possible by embracing an active and healthy lifestyle that improves physical, intellectual, social and spiritual well-being.
And while wellness plays an important role in any person’s life, the benefits for seniors are particularly significant in terms of improvements in overall feelings of wellbeing and life satisfaction, decreased social isolation, and maintaining or improving cognitive and physical health. Harvard and Yale researchers have confirmed that those with a more positive outlook on aging lived an average of 7.5 years longer than those with more negative views.
To enhance or maintain their wellness, many seniors are looking to move into communities that will actively support them in their goals, while allowing them to fully maintain their independence. With properties in Vancouver, Toronto and now Victoria, Tapestry has positioned itself as a leader in active aging, offering vibrant and connected communities where individuals can stay healthy, strong, engaged and socially connected.
Tapestry takes a unique approach by focusing on areas such as food and nutrition, fitness and movement, spirituality and mindfulness, and health and resilience. This unparalleled offering is underpinned by a commitment to personalized, resident centric service and a focus on delivering unique programs and services aligned to the seven dimensions of wellness which encompasses physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual, environmental and occupational.
“Our commitment to wellness and supporting active aging is what really distinguishes Tapestry communities,” says Mark Andrew, Senior Vice President. “With our core offerings and holistic focus on wellness, Tapestry is pushing the boundaries of what it means to live independently and evolving wellness from programming activities to a way of life!”
Tapestry’s commitment to wellness was recently recognized when its Wesbrook Village community earned a Beacon Award for its “Best in Wellness” achievements, one of only 25 seniors living communities in North America to be honoured.
Currently under construction, Tapestry at Victoria Harbour is the first Tapestry community on Vancouver Island and will be ready for occupancy in early 2021. The presentation centre, complete with fully furnished display suite, will be open by private appointment beginning July 6. Visit: TapestryVictoria.com to learn more.
