Focused on Wellness Focused on You At Fox Ridge, we take a distinctive approach to wellness tailored to each community member. Our holistic philosophy, called Salus™ by AgeWell Solvere Living, emphasizes a lifestyle that keeps the body active, strengthens relationships, challenges the mind, and nurtures each person’s spiritual needs. Each program we offer encompasses the physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual aspects of wellness, enabling residents to reach their full potential. In addition, our personalized one-on-one programs provide engaging and meaningful opportunities to build connections with others and foster positive social interactions. Salus (SAL-us), Noun – Latin for “Well-Being” Our trademark wellness philosophy, Salus, focuses on helping each resident reach their fullest potential through engagement and connection. This philosophy is integrated throughout our senior living communities and implemented into each of our supportive services and signature programs. Salus concentrates on four components of wellness, each critical to creating a path to a fulfilling lifestyle: Physical: Living a healthy lifestyle through physical activity and proper nutrition to stay strong and flexible and to limit disease and disability. Social: Strengthen existing connections with family and friends and develop new relationships to stay connected to the community. Intellectual: Stimulating minds through participation in lifelong learning initiatives and challenging, creative programs. Spiritual: Continuing the lifelong search for purpose and meaning through faith-based involvement, volunteerism, and service, and enjoying meaningful pastimes. Physical wellness ensures that the body remains strong and healthy, while social, intellectual, and spiritual wellness contributes to a person’s overall happiness and sense of purpose, fostering strong relationships, continuous learning, and inner peace.
