Tell us what you did during Active Aging Week to redefine the term "Active."
We had a wonderful inaugural Active Aging Week at St. James Place! Each day was filled with wellness education, laughter, and connection. We kicked things off with a campus-wide chair fitness class that brought together Assisted Living, Independent Living, and even our Clergy! A favorite highlight was the “Golden Glam” photo booth, where residents from across campus dressed up and showed off their best smiles. Our “Wellness Jeopardy” game added a fun, competitive twist to learning about the dimensions of wellness, and the outdoor games in the Butterfly Garden gave residents and staff a chance to mingle and enjoy the beautiful fall weather—especially during an intense round of Jenga! We wrapped up the week with the “Decades Dash,” where participants dressed in fashions from the 50s, 60s, and 70s and walked the one-mile loop around campus. The celebration at the finish line was filled with dancing, delicious food, and plenty of laughter as we reminisced about the “good old days.” We can’t wait to make Active Aging Week a beloved St. James Place tradition for years to come!
