Celebrating aging and the benefits of active living at any age, Active Aging Week showcases the capabilities of older adults as fully participating members of society. This campaign also spotlights role models that lead the way. Learn how you can join with thousands of Active Aging Week supporters to help change the way we age.

 

Tell us what you did during Active Aging Week to redefine the term "Active."

We introduced a fitness program each day where residents could "vote" on the classes they would like to see return on future calendars. The top votes went to Circuit Training, Practicing Proper Posture, and Boosting Balance. We also introduced a food series to try alternate food options in lieu of items like dairy, beef, and flour. The Chocolate Quinoa Cake was a big hit! With Mocktails trending more than ever, we hosted a Mixology 101 on mocktails using a non-alcholic gin and added some education on how this spirit is developed without the use of alcohol.
