LOOP AT THE FOUNTAINS!

The Loop is the system The Fountains has installed in the

Cactus Room and Ocotillo Clubhouse. The Loop

(sometimes called an audio induction loop) is a special

type of sound system for use by people with hearing aids.

The Loop is a wire that circles a room and is connected to a

sound system. To use a hearing loop, you flip on the t-

switch on the hearing aid to activate the telecoil. Using a

telecoil and hearing loop together is seamless, cost-

effective, unobtrusive, and you don't have to seek

additional equipment. Interested in more about the Loop?

LIVING WELL

Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year’s —

these are times of celebration,

togetherness, and happiness. Here are

some tips for staying healthy and happy

during this season of joy.

Eat well Eat well. Although it’s common to gain

weight during the holiday season, there

are ways you can eat both healthfully

and well! Know which foods are high in

caloric content. Don’t deprive yourself of

such treats, but indulge in moderation.

Stay activeStay active. Exercise is just as important

during the holidays as any other time of

the year. Try to be active at least four to

five times a week, including some

aerobic exercise every day. Enlist your

friends to join for one of our power

walks or SPLASH classes in the morning.

Prevent illness and injuries. Prevent

colds and flu by washing your hands

regularly and urging others to do the

same. Dress in layers to accommodate

our cooler temperatures in the mornings.

Eliminate fall risk by securing all electric

cords and removing scatter rugs.

De-stress De-stress. Anticipate sources of stress

and create a plan to manage them. This

is a great time to drop into one of our

Mindfulness Meditation sessions or the

chair yoga classes. Take good care so

you can enjoy being with family and

friends during this joyous season.

Wishing you a holiday that is filled withWishing you a holiday that is filled with

ease and abundance of ease and abundance of joy!oy!

The foundation of Watermark University (WU) is to provide meaningful opportunities to learn, teach and grow,

resulting in a life of overall well-being. Research shows that learning and keeping our mind active and sharp

supports healthy aging.

At Watermark Retirement Communities we are committed to encouraging our residents and associates to lead

balanced lives, full of meaning and purpose, grounded in self-awareness and infused with curiosity, our

Watermark University courses help achieve this goal. By focusing on the Seven Dimensions of Well-being:

Physical, Social, Intellectual, Spiritual, Emotional, Environmental, and Vocational we offer the opportunity to

achieve a balanced life and we see the benefits across the country in every class, every day.
