Lifespace Community-Beacon Hill

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

To redefine the term "Active" for Active Aging Week at Beacon Hill we took two major trips with our residents; Horseback Riding and Zip Lining. We did an escape room at our community, and took the residents back to their youth and made homemade ice cream. Our last major component to Active Aging Week was having a presentation on Sex and the Aging Body, a topic that we know that is not being discussed as much as it should, so we got out of our comfort zone and provided an educational presentation around that topic.
