How would you describe “wellness?” A healthy lifestyle,
good nutrition, daily exercise and adequate sleep are foundations for continued
good health. Managing stress, keeping your mind active, tapping into your
creative side – these components also define wellness.
Cedarfield introduced a new initiative in November
titled Pathways to Wellness which includes nine components: strength and
endurance, creative expression, intellectual growth, spirituality, emotional
balance, community outreach, dining/diet and nutrition, social connections, and
brain fitness. The Pathways to Wellness program allows the Cedarfield staff to
plan activities, classes, trips and entertainment to meet each of these
components – creating an all-encompassing wellness and activities program.
Cedarfield showcased Pathways to Wellness to residents
and staff yesterday, as well as unveiled the program’s new logo. The staff consultants
and resident advisors for each of the nine components presented a booth with
past activities and future plans related to their element of Pathways to
Wellness.
