Experience wellness, connection and purpose at Sholom beginning in August, National Wellness Month.
August is National Wellness Month, a time to reflect on how we care for our physical, emotional, and mental well-being. At Sholom, we believe wellness is not just a monthly focus—but a daily, intentional practice woven into every aspect of life in our community.
Through our Chai Wellness Program, we take a holistic approach to wellness that nurtures mind, body, and spirit, all rooted in the Jewish value of chai—the Hebrew word for life. We empower our residents to embrace each day with joy, purpose, and connection, honoring their personal journeys and cultural heritage along the way.
What is Chai Wellness?
Chai Wellness at Sholom is more than a program—it’s a way of life. Designed to promote healing, connection, and enrichment, it offers personalized, inclusive wellness experiences that bring vibrancy and meaning to every stage of aging. Our approach is centered around the LIFE framework:
L: Leisure and Engagement
We offer a rich variety of recreational and cultural experiences—from art workshops and gentle fitness classes to Jewish cooking sessions, Hebrew language activities, and communal Shabbat or holiday celebrations. Whether it’s painting, gardening, storytelling, or outings to museums and theaters, our residents stay connected to their passions and community.
I: Individualized Care
At Sholom, we know that no two wellness journeys are the same. That’s why we create tailored wellness plans in collaboration with our healthcare team—focusing on nutrition, mobility, mindfulness, and personalized therapy offerings such as tai chi, music therapy, chair yoga, and guided meditation. Our residents’ values and preferences lead the way.
F: Family and Community
We cultivate meaningful intergenerational and community relationships through family support groups, inclusive social events, and volunteer opportunities. Whether it’s reading with children from local schools, gathering for coffee with neighbors, or joining a craft session with loved ones, we build bridges that strengthen bonds and foster belonging.
E: Emotional and Cognitive Wellbeing
Wellness also means nurturing the mind and heart. Chai Wellness offers memory-stimulating activities, brain fitness programs, supportive grief groups, and creative outlets like dance and music therapy. Residents are encouraged to express themselves, connect with others, and find comfort and growth through shared experiences.
Why It Matters
During National Wellness Month, we’re reminded of the importance of caring for our full selves—not just physically, but emotionally, socially, and spiritually. At Sholom, wellness is not a trend—it’s a foundation. Through Chai Wellness, we ensure that every person we serve feels seen, supported, and empowered to live life fully.
