The Olympics are underway at The Barrington of Carmel. The games are a part of the Movement Matters campaign through Masterpiece Living, a foundational philosophy of the community which emphasizes physical health, spiritual fulfillment, intellectual challenge and social engagement as the key components to a successful aging and a better lifestyle.
The month-long campaign is centered on increased movement and overall well-being. Residents are divided into teams which compete against each other in eight Olympic games. The games are held every Wednesday and Friday in September and about 70 people, including assisted living and memory care residents from The Plaza Health Services at the Barrington, are signed up to participate. These are highly visual and fun events.
This year, the senior living community is inviting employees to play on the Olympic teams. An employee from each department will be on a resident team to play in the games and help their team win. The goal of the Olympic games is to motivate individuals to move more and sustain their increased movement throughout the year.
