What Does an Active Lifestyle Mean to You?
How we define “active living” will be different depending on our interests, abilities, and individual preferences. However, for many, living an active lifestyle is about engaging in physical activities that make us feel good, enjoying the company of friends and family, challenging ourselves to learn something new, and pursuing the passions and pastimes that we love.
Yet misperceptions of community living still persist. Resident Susan Craig admits, “I actually had the wrong image of what it would be like here (but) when I actually saw it, it just seemed like a wonderful platform to launch retirement from. That just delighted me!”
Engaging Physical Activities
While our health relies on a number of factors, there’s no denying that physical movement plays an important role in our holistic well-being. At Village on the Green, residents can get customized wellness programs overseen by experts who work with them on their unique health goals.
Some activities residents enjoy include regular aqua aerobics classes in the heated pool and brisk walks on scenic walking trails. In fact, the community is known for its exceptional grounds, as it used to be a golf course.
Residents also attend a wide variety of fitness classes at the on-site fitness center. Nutrition classes led by experts are available, and are designed to help residents maintain their physical health.
Building Social Connections
Fostering a sense of community is a priority at Village of the Green. This is because forming and maintaining positive social connections can help us lead longer, healthier lives. Events, activities, social mixers, classes, and outings are all curated with this goal in mind. As resident Stan Goldstein said, “You can’t help but make new friends here!”
Residents are warm and welcoming. There’s always someone to share a round of golf with, or fellow explorers who want to enjoy the events and attractions of nearby Orlando. “The residents are a big reason to come to Village on The Green,” says Susan Craig.
Learning Something New
Active senior living communities aren’t just about physical activities. Cerebral pursuits are also celebrated and encouraged here. There are many opportunities to learn something new! This could be taking a pottery class with a guest artist in the art studio, enjoying a lecture in the auditorium, or signing up for an online course.
Other activities for seniors include instructor-led classes on a diverse range of topics, such as how to use the latest technology; exploring the wealth of books in the on-site library; and learning new games and skills in the card room. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to play billiards, bocce ball, or golf, you’re also in luck! Residents are delighted to share their knowledge with others.
Pursuing Your Passions
What is your life’s purpose? Our purpose is often found in the pursuit of our passions, which is why every day at Village on the Green, so many active seniors delve deeply into the interests they love, expand their knowledge, and embrace new pursuits. There’s always a round of golf to play, a new skill to learn, or an excursion to the city with an open seat.
“It has been a change in lifestyle that has made life easier for us,” says resident Stan Goldstein, “and actually more rewarding and more entertaining. The idea of coming to a place like Village on the Green is to come while you can still enjoy it. Five years too early is better than one day too late.”
