Active Aging: Living Life to the Fullest at Prairie Landing

Aging doesn’t mean slowing down—it means living more fully, with intention and joy. At Prairie Landing, we embrace the concept of Active Aging—a lifestyle that encourages physical health, mental stimulation, social engagement, and emotional well-being. It’s a philosophy that aligns beautifully with our Living on Purpose program—a whole-person wellness approach designed to help residents thrive in this next chapter of life.

What is Active Aging?

Active aging is about empowering older adults to live meaningful, engaged lives, regardless of age or ability. At Prairie Landing, that means offering opportunities to explore new interests, stay physically active, and enjoy the beauty of community and connection.

Living on Purpose: Wellness in Action

Our Living on Purpose program guides life enrichment across all BHI communities, including Prairie Landing. It focuses on eight dimensions of wellness that ensure residents experience life in a vibrant, engaging, and fulfilling way:

• Physical Wellness: Walking paths, wellness groups, fitness classes, and stretching programs
• Emotional Wellness: Music, nature-based reflection, and positive mindset activities
• Intellectual Wellness: Guest speakers, local partnerships, and lifelong learning opportunities
• Social Wellness: Community picnics, themed dinners, and club meetups
• Creative Wellness: Crafting workshops, seasonal décor projects, and art classes
• Spiritual Wellness: Quiet spaces for reflection, spiritual discussions, and interfaith connections
• Environmental Wellness: Native plant landscaping, garden beds, and outdoor seating areas
• Purposeful Living: Resident-led initiatives, volunteer projects, and peer mentorship

At Prairie Landing, these experiences are designed to connect residents to what matters—nature, community, and purpose.
