Twenty-five senior living communities, including several continuing care retirement communities, have been recognized with the first ICAA NuStep Beacon Awards for their “Best in Wellness” achievements.
The Beacon program is a joint venture between the International Council on Active Aging and NuStep LLC, a manufacturer of recumbent cross trainer exercise equipment used in healthcare, senior living and fitness settings.
“It is a pleasure to honor the top 25 wellness communities,” said Jane Benskey, marketing communications specialist at NuStep. “Their recognition of the value and importance of creating cultures where wellness is not a program in a room, but rather a way of life, is having a lasting and positive impact on many lives.”
Among Beacon Award winners, wellness is defined by seven dimensions: emotional, physical, intellectual, social, spiritual, vocational and environmental.
The top 5 communities also received the ICAA NuStep Pinnacle Award for particularly exceptional contributions to wellness. They are:
- Moorings Park in Naples, FL
- Senior Resource Group: Maravilla in Santa Barbara, CA
- Presbyterian Village North in Dallas
- John Knox Village of Florida in Pompano Beach, FL
- Sunnyside Retirement Community in Harrisonburg, VA
