Celebrate Active Aging Week with GenCare Lifestyle

Embracing Whole-Person Wellness Across All Generations

From Monday, October 6 through Sunday, October 12, 2025, GenCare Lifestyle Senior Living will proudly join the global movement of Active Aging Week, presented by Humana and organized by the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA). Since 2001, ICAA has been leading, connecting, and defining the active aging industry, championing the belief that everyone — regardless of age, background, or health condition — should have the opportunity to live life fully across the seven dimensions of wellness:

• Emotional
• Environmental
• Intellectual/Cognitive
• Physical
• Professional/Vocational
• Social
• Spiritual

At GenCare, this aligns perfectly with our Whole Life Living™ approach, inspiring older adults to live fully and age fearlessly every day.

This year, all six GenCare communities will celebrate Active Aging Week with a robust lineup of free, engaging, and meaningful activities designed to energize the body, mind, and spirit. Some communities will host events Monday–Friday, while others will celebrate all week long.

Why Active Aging Week Matters

Active Aging Week is more than a calendar of fun events — it’s a commitment to healthy, joyful living. With support from ICAA and Humana, GenCare is proud to offer programming that encourages connection, purpose, and vitality. Whether it’s dancing, art, fitness, volunteering, or health assessments, each activity is a step toward a longer, healthier, and more fulfilling life.
