Staying Active
Staying active is important! A body that keeps moving will not lose mobility, but if you sit too much you will lose it. It’s easy to stay active here at Madison. Find any activity that you like and make sure you look to see when it is on the calendar and join us 1 to 3 times a week. You can start with one activity a week and build up to a few activities per day. More movement helps with the overall health of your body. While you are watching television try to move your arms and legs. Movement helps to keep the blood circulating. Always remember you have got to stay active!

The Team
The team that makes the magic happen every day. The staff and the directors that lead the departments love being here with the residents and this team believes in making each day magical. We wanted to highlight the directors and staff for a job well done and thank you for all the effort and work that you do. We appreciate you!
Getting to know You
Getting out and making new friends in a new place can be difficult. If you are looking to meet the other residents, we encourage all residents to attend the Getting to Know YOU segment once a month. This is where you can speak with other residents and learn about each other. We have so many great residents that live here and have done some very impressive things in their careers before retiring. The one-hour chat is very informal and led by the Lifestyles Director. Please come to our next Getting to Know YOU October 9, 2024, at 3pm in the lobby. We look forward to getting to know you!
