Asbury

So many ways to age actively! 💙

From yoga and Tai Chi to creativity and connection, residents at Asbury Solomons are celebrating Active Aging Week by staying active, trying new things and enjoying time together!

There’s no single way to stay active and engaged!

For one person, it might be a drumming class. For someone else, it could be volunteering, trying a new recipe, joining a discussion or simply spending more time with friends.

That’s what Asbury’s EngAge Well approach is all about: creating opportunities for residents to explore their interests, connect with others and find meaning in what matters most to them.

During Active Aging Week, we’re celebrating the associates across Asbury who bring this approach to life every day through new experiences, meaningful connections and personal choice.

In his latest blog, Asbury Communities Chief Operating Officer Todd Andrews shares how EngAge Well is creating more opportunities for residents to stay active and engaged on their own terms.

What keeps you feeling connected, energized and excited about life?

Maybe it is taking a walk, trying something new, spending time with people you love or sharing your talents with others.

Active aging looks different for everyone...and it is about much more than exercise.

For Active Aging Week, Asbury’s Dr. Sue Paul sat down with Colin Milner, CEO of the International Council on Active Aging, for a thoughtful conversation about staying involved in the parts of life that matter most.

It is an idea at the heart of Asbury’s Engage Well approach: helping residents connect, grow, contribute, and find joy in ways that are meaningful to them.

Margarete Verd went to her first drumming class planning only to watch. Then someone encouraged her to pick up a drum.

Today, at 86, she’s a regular, and she’s often the one encouraging others to join in.

Her story is a reminder that trying something new can begin with one simple invitation.

In his latest blog, Asbury Communities President & CEO Doug Leidig shares Margarete’s story and reflects on the role well-being teams play in creating opportunities for older adults to connect, explore new interests and find joy in something unexpected.

During Active Aging Week, we celebrate the teams at Asbury and across senior living who make moments like these possible, not just this week, but throughout the year.

A few words can mean more than we realize. 💛

Think about someone who makes your day better.

Maybe it’s a neighbor who always says hello. An associate who remembers the little things. A coworker who steps in to help. A friend who saves you a seat.

October’s Connected in Belonging theme at Asbury is Recognition & Appreciation: Every Story Matters.

This month, we’re encouraging our residents and associates to notice those everyday moments and put their appreciation into words:

“You make a difference because…”

It’s a simple sentence, but when it’s personal and sincere, it can mean a great deal.

Who would you say it to today?

Someone came to mind while you were reading this, didn’t they?

Don’t let the moment pass. Call them. Text them. Tell them in person. Or tag them below.

Finish this sentence for them: “You make a difference because…” 💛

What a month September has been! 💙

From celebrations and special events to everyday moments happening across our communities, there was no shortage of memories made throughout the month.

Take a look back at just a few of the moments that made September special across Asbury Communities!
