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

Residents at GenCare Federal Way enjoyed a dynamic and uplifting Active Aging Week filled with movement, mindfulness, and meaningful connection. The schedule offered something for everyone, including a calming sound bath with our local yoga studio, an energizing boxing class that encouraged strength and confidence, free DEXA scans to support proactive wellness, and an inspiring "The Regenerative You" motivational workshop that empowered residents to embrace vibrant living. Among the memorable experiences was our “Meet the Parrots” event with the Parrot Lady of Washington, where residents learned about parrot behavior, conservation, and rescue efforts—and even had the chance to interact with the birds. Together, these activities created a week of discovery, engagement, and community spirit, reflecting GenCare’s dedication to providing enriching opportunities that help residents stay active, curious, and connected.
