Wellness centers are relatively new additions to the public domain, a significant leap ahead of the first exercise gyms that offered little more than weightlifting. In the most basic sense, wellness centers improve people’s physical and mental health, helping them thrive and stay active. It’s a holistic approach that contributes to overall well-being.
Locating a wellness center or clinic in Houston isn’t difficult, but it could be tricky to find one that caters to seniors. This age group has concerns that the average center might not effectively address. The Abbey at Westminster Plaza team had this very thought in mind when they decided to design one for its residents.
What are the benefits of having an on-site senior wellness center?
The benefits of having an on-site wellness center within a senior living community are numerous: Picture yourself or a loved one attending senior-friendly exercise classes, receiving on-site physical therapy, and using modern exercise equipment.
That’s just the beginning. Residents gain immediate access to wellness programs designed specifically for their age group, making it easier for them to participate in activities that enhance their quality of life. They don’t need to drive anywhere—that’s a huge benefit when the wellness center is far away, or the weather is bad. The ease of accessibility allows for consistency in routines, encouraging a healthier lifestyle.
Just as importantly, seniors benefit from having all of the services in one location. They needn’t drive to the gym, then to rehab, then to the pool. After all, their time is valuable, and getting to appointments and dealing with traffic can be stressful.
Our Wellness Center for Seniors and Families in Houston
The Abbey at Westminster Plaza is a prime example of how a well-designed wellness center can make a difference. Our center provides programs and services for seniors and promotes socialization and mental stimulation:
- Rehabilitation Services: Licensed, professional rehab and physical therapy services are available to help seniors recover and regain their strength.
- Exercise Studio: Our group exercise classes have a social aspect that brings seniors together. Programs include drum cardio and line dancing. We even offer yoga and meditation classes.
- The Walking Track: We have a Dinoflex padded indoor walking track. Its cushioned surface reduces joint impact.
- Heated Indoor Pool and Aquatic Therapy: Enjoy water aerobics classes, water volleyball, and open swim times in our warm, refreshing pool.
- Spa Area: Located next to the pool, this spa area offers a relaxing space.
- State-Of-The-Art Fitness Equipment: Our fully equipped fitness area hasaerobic areas, cardio machines, free weights, and locker rooms.
- Continuous Health Monitoring and Personalized Fitness Evaluations: Our resident’s health takes center stage.
Our Ballroom Hall
Another highlight of this wellness center is the ballroom hall, which serves as a multi-purpose space. This beautifully designed venue is available for ballroom rental, making it ideal for family outings, festive celebrations, or community gatherings.
Renters can use the space for anniversaries, birthday parties, art exhibitions, or lifestyle classes. Imagine celebrating your loved one’s special birthday in a space that’s right in their community, with no worries about transportation or food.
Amenities and Support Services at The Abbey at Westminster Plaza
Beyond the wellness center and ballroom hall, The Abbey at Westminster Plaza has additional amenities catering to its residents. You’ll find everything needed to support you or your loved one’s independence and health:
- Spacious 55+ luxury independent living apartments
- Three chef-prepared meals per day
- Restaurant and sports lounge
- Nutritional workshops
- Arts and crafts room
- Movie theater
- Regular social events
- Fenced dog park
- General store with ice cream parlor
- Personalized care plans
We have three lifestyle options: independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Floor plans are available in each category, and residents share the amenities listed above, plus many others. A key advantage of having all three in one community is the continuum of care. When a resident’s support level changes, they don’t have to leave the community.
You also know about the other benefit we’ve described—The Abbey at Westminster Plaza offers resort-style living for retirees. Our wellness center for seniors is not just a place for physical health; it’s a sanctuary where life experiences are shared. The residents we support deserve the best, and so do you and your loved ones.
