Promoting Whole Person Wellness

A group of happy seniors taking a walk.

Wellness is defined as “the quality or state of being in good health, especially as an actively sought goal.” This definition highlights the importance of what wellness truly is — a journey, not a destination.

Living well at The Atrium at Navesink Harbor takes on this meaning with the LivWell program, a wellness program offered at all Springpoint Senior Living communities. This program takes a holistic approach to health by exploring all seven dimensions of wellness: physical, intellectual, emotional, social, environmental, spiritual and vocational. By offering activities that fit into each of these dimensions, The Atrium encourages residents to actively participate in the journey of wellness in day-to-day life in the community.

7 Ways The Atrium at Navesink is Redefining Senior Living Wellness

Let’s explore the seven dimensions of wellness and how The Atrium addresses them:

  1. Physical Wellness — Through activities like our Nordic walking club and yoga and tai chi classes, moving and making sure the body stays active is vitally important to the LivWell program. A fit body encourages wellbeing and sets the stage for healthy aging.
  2. Intellectual Wellness — Keeping the brain sharp ensures a healthy mind, which reduces the risk of cognitive decline. The Socrates Cafe Philosophy Group and resident scholar lectures are just a few of the ways to focus on your intellect.
  3. Emotional Wellness — Emotional wellness doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be happy all of the time. Instead, it’s about being able to manage negative emotions in a healthy way. Keeping a positive outlook on life and looking for activities that lift your mood, like guided meditation, increases optimism and emotional wellbeing.
  4. Social Wellness — Staying connected to your community is important for both physical and mental health. With fun activities planned like weekly card games and painting classes, just to name a few, we offer ample opportunities for you to socialize with your neighbors. We even have our private pontoon boat, so you’re able to take a relaxing river cruise with champagne and chocolates while surrounded by friends.
  5. Environmental Wellness — We only get one world to live in, and taking part in activities to preserve and protect the environment allows for comfortable surroundings and a sense of pride. Our Navesink Garden Club is one example of available environmental awareness and appreciation groups.
  6. Spiritual Wellness — Our residents are encouraged to expand their faith and explore inner values in order to find a sense of purpose. As a non-denominational community, there are opportunities for those of all faiths to freely express their chosen beliefs.
  7. Vocational Wellness —You know what they say: you get wiser with age. Sharing talents you’ve acquired throughout your life with others by participating in volunteer opportunities and community connections gives you a gratifying feeling of accomplishment.
