Retaining Optimal Health / Active Life-Style
There are
many studies in gerontological research, which show that
adults who remain physically, mentally, and socially active,
can significantly delay/lessen their decline in their
physical and cognitive functioning abilities. As one of the
country’s leading/most complete retirement living
destinations, Copeland Oaks offers a wide variety of
activity opportunities to help residents remain active as
long as possible. In fact, I have personally witnessed
numerous residents who, prior to their move to Copeland
Oaks, were experiencing symptoms of depression, loneliness,
fatigue, and worry. After a few months of being around
people and participating in many of our special and
regularly scheduled activities and events, they did a
complete transformation and developed a renewed sense of
spirit and well-being. It has been wonderful to see and a
blessing to witness. I have had numerous sons and daughters
say to me how much their parent(s) mental, spiritual, and
social health had improved after they moved Copeland Oaks.
Copeland Oaks has
a full-time Director of Wellness, who helps plan
activities, events, and programs to help people stay fit
longer, in comparison to not living at Copeland Oaks. There
are also close to FIFTY different groups/clubs for residents
to participate in:

Having several
dining venues close by, often helps people better meet their
nutritional needs.
In conclusion,
people who move to Copeland Oaks while still independent,
can not only increase their ability/chances of ‘remaining’
independent longer throughout life, they can better
increase their ability/chances of ‘retaining’ their
physical and cognitive skills longer as well. |
