During Active Aging Week, Monroe Village hosted a dynamic range of activities to promote the seven dimensions of health and foster community engagement. Residents participated in pickleball matches, aqua aerobics sessions, and lively group exercise classes, all designed to enhance fitness and camaraderie. An environmental discussion group provided a platform for sharing sustainable practices, while daily gratitude journaling encouraged mindfulness and positivity. The week featured a labyrinth walking Fit Trip, allowing residents to embrace their spirituality, enjoy nature and reflect. Our annual “Walk to End Alzheimer’s” event successfully raised over $400 for the cause. LivWell Day showcased various opportunities for residents to stay active and engaged within the community. The highlight of the week was our Home Run Derby, a fun-filled event that brought everyone together for friendly competition and laughter. Overall, Active Aging Week at Monroe Village celebrated wellness, community spirit, and the joy of active living!
