A Senior Wellness Program That Boosts Vitality

Individuals age differently, but one certainty is that holistic health and wellness practices can vastly improve quality of life. If you or a loved one feel like there’s little to look forward to, prioritizing those practices can rekindle joy.

Senior wellness and vitality are forever linked together, each one strengthening the existence of the other. Possessing vitality means having abundant energy, often resulting from a state of comprehensive physical and mental well-being. That helps older adults actively engage with life, take on challenges, and pursue goals with enthusiasm. 

Pursuing wellness through practices like balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and mindfulness naturally increases energy. However, seniors may face obstacles when trying to achieve those goals—examples include no transportation and a lack of senior-friendly facilities.

Ciela Senior Living residents needn't book an escape to the spa or find a ride to the gym because of our on-site wellness retreat. We have senior wellness programs that propel residents into a cycle of better health, invigorating the mind and body.

Our Health and Wellness Programs for Seniors

The Ciela Senior Living state-of-the-art Wellness Center and Spa is at the heart of our community. Here, residents enjoy treatments that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. The community's exclusive Vitality Wellness Center features a specialized Parkinson's program and a hydrotherapy pool, which has become a favorite among residents. 

The hydrotherapy pool is part of the Ciela Senior Living commitment to innovative wellness. Residents enjoy aqua therapy that promotes joint health, balance, and relaxation—making waves in our approach to senior care.

Nutrition is another core component of our wellness programs for seniors. Our dining services include a menu inspired by the Blue Zones diet, which emphasizes plant-based foods and promotes longevity, putting residents’ health and wellness first.

Our Parkinson’s Program

Our unique Parkinson's program is a cornerstone of our Vitality Wellness initiative, grounded in evidence-based research from the Parkinson's Foundation and the American College of Sports Medicine.

This specialized senior wellness program integrates physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology services. Residents participate in personalized sessions designed to enhance mobility, balance, and overall well-being. 

Our Holistic Approach to Wellness

Holistic health and wellness programs for seniors consider the whole person and their overall well-being. This concept emphasizes the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit, recognizing that wellness is not merely the absence of illness but a state of balance and harmony. It empowers seniors to take charge of their wellness journey, building a sense of self-awareness that enriches every aspect of life. 

This mindset benefits Ciela Senior Living in many ways, including our proximity to nature. With breathtaking rooftop views of the Santa Monica Mountains, a vegetable garden, and modern outdoor spaces, there’s a simple sense of calm and connection.

We also have an acclaimed dining program that features a Blue Zones-inspired menu, promoting healthy and delicious food choices.

Before You Go, a Few Senior Wellness Tips  

We encourage you to visit our one-of-a-kind senior community to explore our independent living, assisted living, and memory care lifestyle options. It’s the best way to experience our welcoming environment. In the meantime, here are some tips that we share with our residents and family members:

  • Stay Physically Active: Engaging in regular physical activity promotes mobility and strength as we age. Walking, yoga, or light strength training can enhance cardiovascular health, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and boost mood and energy levels.
  • Prioritize Mental Health: Mental health is just as important as physical health. Meditation, puzzles, or even learning a new skill can keep the mind sharp. Participating in social events and maintaining friendships also supports emotional well-being and combats loneliness.
  • Eat a Balanced Diet: A nutrient-rich diet can dramatically impact overall health. Focus on consuming a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Staying hydrated and limiting processed foods and sugars can also contribute to better health and increased vitality.
  • Schedule Regular Check-Ups: Routine medical check-ups are important for early detection of health issues and maintaining wellness. Regular screenings and vaccinations, recommended by health care providers, help prevent and manage potential health concerns.
  • Prioritize Sleep: Quality sleep is vital for physical and mental restoration. Establishing a consistent sleep routine, creating a comfortable sleep environment, and avoiding caffeine or screens before bed can improve sleep quality.
  • Treat Yourself to Wellness Activities: Indulging in wellness activities like spa treatments can provide an extraordinary lift to your overall well-being. Taking time for a massage, facial, or a day at the spa offers an opportunity to relax, de-stress, and recharge.

Such moments of self-care are not mere indulgences; they are essential contributions to maintaining balance and vitality. We encourage you to prioritize your well-being as an integral aspect of a healthy, fulfilling life.
