Tell us what you did during Active Aging Week to redefine the term "Active."
Active Aging Week at GenCare Lifestyle Point Ruston was an absolute blast! Residents, employees, and guests participated in a variety of engaging activities. We kicked off the week with Music and Movement classes, where the joy of music and synchronized movement fostered a special social connection. Our Laughing Yoga class was a highlight, transforming awkward, forced laughter into genuine joy and smiles that lasted all day. We also hosted a healthy cooking demo and a presentation on the best foods for brain health. Our active Happy Hour featured a range of yard games like cornhole, warphole, ladder ball, ping pong, and more. The week was filled with spontaneous fun, including impromptu pickleball games in our parking lot and a new Jeopardy activity that was a huge hit. To top it all off, we held an Employee + Resident Dynamic Duo Duathlon, where teams of employees and residents competed to see who could travel the furthest on our fitness machines in 10 minutes. This event was a wonderful success, and we look forward to more resident and employee competitions in the future.
