The Six Dimensions of Wellness

Arbor Ridge embraces proven holistic principles of successful aging by incorporating the Six Dimensions of Wellness into daily life. By their very nature, positive steps taken in these directions move us toward more proactive, self-determined and healthier lives.

Physical Wellness centers on physical fitness programs, diet and nutritional classes, personal hygiene, and other aspects of bodily health.

Spiritual Wellness involves a willingness to seek meaning and purpose in human existence, encouraged by culturally diverse opportunities for worship and spiritual growth.

Intellectual Wellness stimulates ongoing intellectual growth and creative mental activities through informal continuing education programs and association with local colleges and universities, and community organizations.

Social Wellness focuses on friendships, comfortable interaction with others, and balance between personal and community environments – enhanced by themed events, musical and art programs, and social games such as bridge.

Emotional Wellness allows us to express and manage our own feelings and maintain positive self-esteem – in an atmosphere where opportunities for counseling & social interaction are readily available.

Occupational Wellness includes learning new skills and practicing old ones, volunteering opportunities, and the pursuit of life-long learning.

A Lifestyle Focused on Quality

From the moment you enter the lobby of Arbor Ridge, you will be surrounded by a sense of beauty and quality. The natural vistas from atop the ridge are indeed beautiful, with the community positioned to take advantage of the best this setting has to offer.

We want our residents to understand that quality permeates all that we offer:

– from the warm welcome given by our attentive staff to the culinary delights of each meal;

– from the diverse apartment floorplans to the functionality of the common areas available to all;
