Healthy Aging in Senior Living is About Experiences and Opportunities

We all want to model healthy aging behaviors, but the concept packs so much into two words that setting “healthy aging” goals can make achievement feel distantly attainable. One way to bring it closer to home is to partake in Healthy Aging® Month, a national health observance occurring each September to remind us of the concrete ways we can work the concepts of healthy aging into our life styles.

When we thought about how best to exemplify healthy aging month at Hebrew SeniorLife, we realized we had the perfect example in a recently produced video narrated by Orchard Cove senior living community residents in Canton, MA and Executive Director Aline Russotto. In its simplest form, healthy aging is about providing opportunities and welcoming experiences—it’s about exploring the physical, social, cultural, artistic, and intellectual possibilities that enrich life and sustain happiness—and health— at every stage of life.
