Active Aging Week®, which
is being held Sunday, September 22 through Saturday, September 28, 2013, is a
national observance organized by the International Council on Active Aging® to
highlight the diverse opportunities available to older adults. The 2013 theme is
“Discover your community,” and encourages older adults and the organizations
that serve them to focus on wellness.
At Springmoor Life CareRetirement Community, the Pathways Wellness Directors have planned an exciting
week for the community. Some of the highlights include a “Discover your community” scavenger hunt,
free smoothies, an evening celebration dance, resident storytelling, Encore
Program for Lifelong Enrichment at North Carolina State, tour of the Lego
exhibit and an array of exercise classes!
