How Activity and Social Connection Enrich Senior Living

April 17, 2025

According to the National Council on Aging (NCOA), healthy aging involves a combination of physical activity, mental stimulation, social engagement, and proper nutrition to maintain overall well-being. Their research highlights that staying active can reduce the risk of chronic diseases, improve mobility, and enhance cognitive function. Learn more about the keys to healthy aging here.


At Orchard Hill, we promote healthy aging through engaging physical, social, and cognitive activities that help our residents thrive. Led by our Activities Director, Sandy, we offer group activities, outings, and social events to strengthen connection and well-being.


Our movement-based programs, such as Stretch & Strengthen, Chair Yoga, and Sing & Sway, support mobility, heart health, and longevity. Beyond exercise, social outings such as trips to local farms, theaters, and shops enhance emotional well-being, create new memories and build connections with our community. Mental stimulation is just as vital, with activities including Bingo, Trivia, Chronicles & Puzzles, Giant Crossword and much more, designed to boost memory and support cognitive health. 


At Orchard Hill, we ensure every resident has multiple, ongoing opportunities to stay active, engaged, and connected. We invite anyone interested in learning more to schedule a tour and experience firsthand the vibrant, engaging community at Orchard Hill.
