The
dictionary defines Lifestyle as "A way of life that reflects the attitudes
and values of an individual or a group."
At
Ridgewood Active Retirement Community, we take this definition to heart. We
believe that a campus of senior living should allow a lifestyle that will not
only provide each resident with choice, but also the ability to have a unique
identity. Therefore, we promote life enriching events through the leadership of
our Lifestyle Activity Coordinator.
Our
activity program focuses on the following areas: physical/exercise; social;
recreational; intellectual; educational; creative; entertainment; spiritual;
relationships; beauty; fashion; health/wellness; diet/nutritional; and personal
growth - just to name a few.
Lifestyle
Activities at Ridgewood are developed according to the choices and capabilities
of each resident. We interview each new resident (and family members) within
their first five days at our campus in order to fully understand their
interests, hobbies, needs, and special characteristics. This allows us to
create activities for the individual and overlay these within our existing
resident activities. Yes, we do have many group activities as evidenced by the
calendars on this site. But, we also perform many one-on-one activities with
the residents on a routine basis.
Life
at Ridgewood isn't about resident participation in our activities - rather, it
is about our staff empowering and leading activities based upon your interests.
The activities listed on our calendars will be activities requested and enjoyed
by our residents!
