SEATTLE, WA, UNITED STATES,17th Sept 2024- Imagine a retirement community where aging isn’t just about slowing down, but embracing a new chapter of life filled with adventure, connection, and wellness. Imagine no further, GenCare Lifestyle, a premier senior living provider with wellness-focused retirement communities in the Puget Sound region, embraces aging with vibrancy and active participation in Active Aging Week.
From September 30th to October 4th, 2024, GenCare Lifestyle will join this national observance, organized by the International Council on Active Aging®, to highlight the diverse opportunities available to older adults and challenges outdated stereotypes about aging. GenCare Lifestyle invites seniors from around Puget Sound to join in at their communities to celebrate Active Aging Week and experience firsthand the transformative power of an active and fulfilling lifestyle.
Throughout the week, GenCare Lifestyle will host a kaleidoscope of engaging events across all six vibrant communities in Tacoma, Federal Way, Renton, Ballard, Granite Falls, and Lynnwood. These activities align perfectly with GenCare’s signature Whole Life Living program, which provides personalized opportunities for residents to eat better, move better, think better, and live better longer.
“At GenCare Lifestyle, we believe that aging is an opportunity to continue growing, learning, and thriving,” said Leon Grundstein, founder and CEO of GenCare Lifestyle. “Active Aging Week embodies our commitment to fostering a vibrant and supportive community where our residents can optimize their physical, social, and mental well-being.”
Residents take part all that GenCare has to offer. “From the moment I arrived at GenCare, I felt a sense of belonging that I haven’t experienced in years. The staff is incredibly supportive, the community is vibrant, and the value is exceptional. The wellness programs have helped me improve my physical and mental health, and I’ve made lifelong friends. It’s more than just a senior living community; it’s a place where I feel truly at home,” said Richard D, a GenCare resident.
The events during Active Aging Week at GenCare Lifestyle are inspired by the Move Your Way program, a national initiative by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that encourages everyone, regardless of age or ability, to find enjoyable physical activities. Residents and community members can expect a variety of offerings designed to spark passions and engage the body and mind.
Seniors are invited to visit a community and join in the Active Aging Week activities to discover the joy of an active and fulfilling retirement.
