Active Living

Promoting wellbeing practices to improve health and ability

Episcopal Homes Active living warm water therapy

We believe that every older adult has the potential to thrive–to live an optimal life. Episcopal Homes’ Active Living program supports this goal, helping older adults to stay active and socially connected, regardless of physical challenges that may emerge later in life.

Uniquely, at Episcopal Homes elders volunteer to co-create offerings with our personal trainers, physical therapists and other staff members, such as chair yoga, dance and other group offerings. In doing so, they inspire neighbors and friends to stay active and connect—and gain a sense of purpose.

Co-created classes compliment staff-led wellness offerings, such as aquatic therapy, balance and falls prevention, strength and cardio activities. We also offer special programs for elders with Parkinson’s disease and their spouses.

Together, our resident-volunteers, participants and staff foster social connectedness that benefits health and resiliency. Through investment in our elders’ physical health, we promote optimal living and enhance quality of life.


Story of Impact

Our Residents Will be Riding the Trishaw Bike this Fall!

In July, Episcopal Homes was awarded a grant from the Department of Human Services (DHS) to support the purchase of a Trishaw bike. With this grant and the generosity of donors, we purchased the bike and eagerly anticipate delivery in September. Thank you!
The Trishaw bike offers a safe, active, fun experience for older adults who otherwise could not ride a bike. The rides offer a chance to socialize with the pilots, experience nature, and reduce loneliness and isolation among residents. And it just looks like fun!

Our Specialty Wellness Center has a lot to offer for older adults. Make sure to check out our specific pages to learn more!

Without your support, these missional programs would not be feasible as the rely fully on contributions from donors like you.
