What a fantastic Week of Wellness and Wellbeing at Green Hills! 💚👟
Last week, we celebrated the launch of LCS Life+ with a week full of activities focused on longevity, nutrition, connection and movement.
We kicked off the week with an introduction to Life+ and a Total Brain Health presentation. Residents enjoyed our Wellness Fair, additional Life+ talks, a MIND Diet chat, and a cooking demonstration. We also celebrated a major milestone with our 40th Anniversary Celebration!
On Friday, residents explored Downtown Ames, visiting Life Distilled, Photosynthesis, Dog-Eared Books, The Shops at Clark & Main, Cooks' Emporium, and the Ames History Museum, and had an amazing lunch from Great Plains Sauce & Dough Co.
Our residents also embraced movement all week through the Million Step Challenge, logging steps and participating in Life+ wellness experiences as we worked toward one million steps together. Our Healthcare Hikers group walked every day, helping to keep our community active and engaged throughout the week. The celebration of wellness concluded with staff and residents participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer's on Saturday.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the week so memorable.
Here's to living well, longer. 💚 …
