Active Aging: Living Life to the Fullest at Athens Crossing

Aging doesn’t mean slowing down—it means living more fully, with intention and joy. At Athens Crossing, we embrace the concept of Active Aging—a lifestyle that encourages physical health, mental stimulation, social engagement, and emotional well-being. It’s a philosophy that aligns beautifully with our Living on Purpose program—a whole-person wellness approach designed to help residents thrive in every season of life.

What is Active Aging?

Active aging is about empowering older adults to live meaningful, engaged lives, regardless of age or ability. At Athens Crossing, that means supporting residents with opportunities to maintain wellness, build community, and live with joy in a maintenance-free, independent environment.

Living on Purpose: Wellness in Action

Our Living on Purpose program guides life enrichment across all BHI communities, including Athens Crossing. It focuses on eight dimensions of wellness that ensure residents experience life in a vibrant, engaging, and fulfilling way:

• Physical Wellness: Walking groups, fitness challenges, and stretching classes
• Emotional Wellness: Coffee chats, social clubs, and music appreciation
• Intellectual Wellness: Guest speakers, educational presentations, and book discussions
• Social Wellness: Potlucks, game nights, community happy hours, and holiday events
• Creative Wellness: Craft classes, hobby groups, and seasonal decorating contests
• Spiritual Wellness: Reflection opportunities, interfaith connections, and spiritual discussion groups
• Environmental Wellness: Outdoor gatherings, nature walks, and sustainability education
• Purposeful Living: Volunteer initiatives, neighbor-to-neighbor support, and social outreach projects

At Athens Crossing, these wellness areas are interwoven into everyday life—providing opportunities for connection, creativity, and continued growth.
