In addition to group programs, residents may enroll in our unique wellness coaching service. This service, offered at no additional cost, gives Galloway Ridge residents the opportunity to work with a professional wellness coordinator to create a wellness plan based on individual goals and interests. The wellness coordinator assists with setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic & Time-Bound) goals and provides advice and support in helping you to achieve them. While physical wellness is just one piece of the wellness puzzle, every resident has the option to have a senior functional fitness screening performed. After this appointment, you can meet with the wellness coordinator every six months to troubleshoot any barriers hindering your individual wellness, update your goals and track your progress.
