What does active living mean to you? While the answer may be different for everyone, there’s sure to be a senior living community designed to cater toward the lifestyle you desire.

As an active senior living community, The Waterford is designed to inspire residents to lead vibrant, fulfilling lives where each day is filled with possibilities for connection, learning, and personal enrichment. Whether it’s through invigorating physical activities, vibrant social events, or continuous learning opportunities, The Waterford offers a dynamic setting where residents thrive and redefine what it means to live actively. Here are some of the ways residents here live their best lives each day.

Keep Moving with Engaging Physical Activities

As Waterford resident Barbara Mooney says, “We came in, we were very active, we got into all kinds of the committees. We were doing wine and trivia once a month. And things were very, very good.”

Physical vitality is key to overall health. When you join a community like The Waterford, you’ll find a range of activities designed to keep you moving, regardless of your fitness level. Some of these include:

  • Invigorating water aerobics in our heated outdoor pool
  • Gentle yoga sessions on our manicured lawns
  • Personalized exercise plans in our newly renovated, state-of-the-art fitness center, staffed by certified trainers

These activities help you achieve your health goals while enjoying camaraderie with like-minded neighbors.

Connect with Others at Social Clubs and Events

Social engagement is the heartbeat of our community. Our residents enjoy many social clubs and events that cater to a wide array of interests. Whether you’re a book enthusiast, a gardening aficionado, or a bridge master, you’ll find kindred spirits here. Our regular community events, from wine tastings to art exhibitions, provide ample opportunities to forge new friendships and deepen existing ones. These social connections not only enrich your daily life but also contribute to cognitive health and emotional well-being.

Broaden Your Horizon with Continuous Learning

Resident Corinn Gouldy finds that life here has also helped ease the sense of isolation that many residents feel by creating opportunities for learning. “I think it’s taken away isolation for many of the residents,” she says. “Whether it’s arts and crafts, lunch and learns, the happy hours, it really puts us all together and keeps us active and it makes for a happier life.”

Some of these activities include:

  • Lecture series featuring experts in fields ranging from history to technology
  • Workshops on digital literacy, foreign languages, and creative writing
  • Opportunities to acquire new skills and perspectives

These programs ensure that every day brings fresh discoveries, keeping minds sharp and spirits high.

Engage Your Passions (and Pick Up New Ones!)

“I’ve learned to be my own person at The Waterford,” says resident Agnes Maserjian. “I always lived with family; the family that I grew up with [or] my husband. I was always more dependent. I think I became more independent.”

Retirement is the perfect time for each of us to find ourselves. Dive deeper into long-held passions or explore entirely new interests with The Waterford’s diverse activities and amenities, including:

  • An art studio buzzing with creativity, perfect for seasoned painters or those picking up a brush for the first time.
