Living in a Sun Health Community means more than just having a beautiful place to call home; it means embracing a lifestyle filled with purpose, connection, and continued growth. Staying engaged through hobbies and learning plays a vital role in enhancing residents’ overall quality of life.
A Lifestyle of Daily Engagement
At Sun Health Communities, residents have access to a rich calendar of events and activities every single day. Each community offers at least 12 activities daily — from fitness and wellness programs to social gatherings and creative pursuits. These opportunities not only keep the body active but also stimulate the mind and strengthen social bonds.
Whether it’s learning a new card game, trying your hand at watercolor painting, joining a dance class, or participating in water aerobics, there’s always something new to explore. These activities are more than entertainment, they’re essential to the vibrant lifestyle our communities provide.
Cognitive Health Through Play and Purpose
Many of the games and activities offered support cognitive function by encouraging strategizing, memory recall, and decision-making skills. This type of mental stimulation is shown to help delay cognitive decline and maintain mental sharpness.
Just as important, these activities are shared with others. Social engagement fosters a strong sense of community, combats loneliness, and contributes significantly to emotional well-being, which is especially important in older adulthood.
Opportunities for Lifelong Learning
Sun Health Communities also prioritize lifelong learning by regularly inviting guest speakers and hosting informative sessions. Residents have the chance to explore new topics, discover hobbies they never had time for earlier in life, and stay informed about health and wellness.
For example, La Loma Village offers La Loma University, a resident-led program that provides educational sessions on a wide variety of topics. The Colonnade hosts The Colonnade Institute, where speakers — often residents — share stories and insights from their professional lives. This fosters connection, understanding, and mutual respect within the community.
These programs encourage residents to continue growing, sharing, and staying intellectually curious.
A Taste of the World Without Leaving Home
Residents also enjoy travel-themed and exotic dinners each month, curated by our talented chefs. These special events are not only a culinary adventure but an opportunity to explore different cultures through cuisine.
Trying new foods introduces the body to a variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, supporting both physical health and a more adventurous lifestyle.
Vibrant Living, Every Day
At Sun Health, we believe that life should never be stagnant. Our goal is to ensure that your retirement years are some of the most fulfilling and vibrant. Staying active, engaged, and connected brings a unique energy that enhances the overall atmosphere of our communities.
