Wellness has been woven into the fabric of Meadowood for decades. What sets us apart from the rest is our holistic approach. The Meadowood philosophy encompasses seven key dimensions of wellness: environmental, physical, intellectual, social, emotional, spiritual and vocational. At Meadowood, wellness is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Our wellness programs are accessible by all, regardless of ability. Let us be your guide on your path to total wellness.
Good holistic health has boundless benefits. A passion that fortifies your mind, builds your body and enlightens your soul quickly morphs into a mood lifter, a heart pumper, a social connector, a confidence booster, a brain stimulator — and that’s just a few of the perks. Meadowood sets you on the road to your best self through our fun and unique programs that help you look inward and live outward.
Whether it’s the one-of-a-kind, such as pickleball and equine therapy; the serene, such as meditation or prayer groups; the cerebral, from book groups to travel; or the physical, including wiffleball and personal trainers, Meadowood has the blueprint to build the best you. No matter if it’s at social gatherings and craft classes or in the great outdoors, the possibilities are endless. The hard part will be choosing from our countless choices.
