Heritage of Peachtree offers Active Living program

Heritage of Peachtree Retirement & Assisted Living is dedicated to a healthy lifestyle for their senior residents. Utilizing a wide variety of activities and programs designed specifically for seniors, the staff at Heritage creates a daily "Wellness Environment" that encourages residents to enjoy optimum health.

The new Active Living program is designed specifically for Merrill Gardens by Seattle physician Dr. Chris Fordyce, director of geriatrics for Group Health Cooperative. Dr. Fordyce is a well-known expert in the area of healthy aging, and the newly designed program is in partnership with the National Blueprint to increase physical activity in the 50+ population, sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"Active living is the single most important prescription that physicians can write for their patients, and increasing the daily level of activity for each senior will improve the quality of their lives dramatically," stated Dr. Fordyce. The Active Living program was designed to improve the overall health and well being of residents by engaging them in a variety of activities that improve both physical and mental health.

As an industry leader in providing comprehensive programs for the over-50 population, Merrill Gardens and Heritage of Peachtree constantly strive to fulfill their pledge to encourage residents to live life to its fullest. No matter  what age or limitation, seniors can increase their level of activity, learn new skills, and make new friends.
