Senior Wellness
The Senior Wellness Program has been a hallmark of our campus since 1998. In 2004, the state-of-the-art 6,000 square foot MJ Wicks Family Wellness Center opened with wild success. Free to our residents and available to community seniors for a small monthly fee, Wellness participants have nothing but rave reviews for the exercise classes, free personal training and experienced and attentive staff. The staff have the magical ability to make exercise fun and special!
People of all shapes, sizes and ability levels can join us for yoga, dance, aerobics and much more. The newest exciting addition to the class schedule is Tai Chi, a wonderful exercise for balance, strength and mental wellbeing, and well suited for seniors.
If exercise classes aren’t your cup of tea, the Wellness Center’s commercial strength training equipment, low-impact equipment, elliptical cross training machines and treadmills are top-notch. Instructors are on hand to assist, provide guidance or set up a personalized training routine for you. Informative educational wellness programs are also throughout the year. Every year we celebrate senior wellness with a Senior Wellness Walk and Health Fair open to the community.
Recent studies indicate that older adults who are active and socially engaged maintain their independence, improve physical and mental functioning, stay healthier and live happier, more complete lives. Based upon these ideas, Franke Tobey Jones offers a holistic, preventative Wellness Program that improves quality of life.
