Wellness
Living life to the fullest through preventive health
and an enthusiastic spirit.
Each resident at Tel Hai is complex and different in their own way, so our whole-person approach to healthy living treats them that way. Called the ‘Way to Wellness,’ our approach provides residents with on-campus offerings and programs with direct benefits to four focus areas: body, mind, spirit, and service. Our endless variety of quality activities and events are created to give residents more Wellness opportunities they want, when and how they want them.
BODY
Our wellness and culinary pros, including certified exercise specialists and nutritionists, encourage nutritional and physical wellness to help you maintain your best physical health during retirement. Using an array of land-based and aquatic fitness programs, our team will help you gain or maintain physical strength and build endurance to support your overall health today and tomorrow.
MIND
Focused on intellectual wellness, our educational classes, seminars, guest speakers, and discussion groups fuel the brain and keep your mind challenged. Our active, resident-led Life Enrichment Committee packs our lecture circuit calendar with subjects ranging from politics to financial management and religion to history.
SPIRIT
Supporting emotional and spiritual wellness, Pastoral Services’ Chaplains offer spirituality and comfort to residents via interdenominational worship services, visitation, spiritual counseling, Bible studies, support groups, and religious programs. As a community built on a foundation of the Mennonite faith heritage, Tel Hai works alongside local ministers, priests, and other clergy to honor the spiritual needs of each person regardless of denomination or faith. Tel Hai warmly welcomes all individuals.
SERVICE
Focusing on vocational and social wellness, service-based wellness provides residents the opportunity to re-ignite old friendships and develop new ones. Relationships grow and deepen as neighbors join together to socialize, share their passions and interests, or engage in fulfilling volunteer opportunities. A glance at our calendar of events, from cruising down the Mississippi to weekly line dancing class and much more, shows how Tel Hai residents enjoy a unique retirement filled with socialization, life enrichment, and meaningful purpose.
