Weymouth Senior Living Community Unveils New Wellness Philosophy

Fairing Way has unveiled a multidimensional wellness initiative – “Explore & Inspire ” – that developers say capture the spirit of the newest senior living community outside of Boston.

More than a program, Explore & Inspire impacts the amenities and physical environments planned, and the services and opportunities that will be offered to South Shore seniors even before ground is broken on the new senior living development.

“Too often people think of senior living communities as a place for those who are slowing down or who need care. Our community is designed for active seniors who want to maintain a healthy and vibrant lifestyle in their next chapter,” said Joyce Haglund, Executive Director. “Explore & Inspire provides opportunities for wellness of all types – from physical to spiritual to cultural and more.”

Fairing Way is an innovative 55-and-over senior living neighborhood located within the intergenerational SouthField master-planned community. Sponsored by Quincy-based Rice Eventide and developed by Boston-based Rogerson Communities, Fairing Way is currently in its pre-sales phase. Explore & Inspire  opportunities will made available to the public beginning fall of 2012.

Fairing Way today unveiled the logo for the Explore & Inspire multidimensional wellness philosophy and a tagline: Opportunities to Thrive. “It captures our commitment to promoting a higher quality of life in which South Shore seniors feel energized and connected,” said Haglund.

Haglund noted that in the past, retirement communities offered housing and healthcare and little else – but that senior living has changed dramatically in recent years. For example, Explore & Inspire offers opportunities within eight dimensions of wellness:

• Physical – building endurance, flexibility and strength
• Intellectual – continuing to learn and grow
• Occupational – bringing talents to work that is meaningful and rewarding
• Social – brightening life through positive relationships
• Emotional – making and strengthening connections
• Spiritual – living a life of spirit
• Environmental – comfort and alignment with surroundings
• Cultural – experiencing diverse and rich influences on art, cuisine and traditions
