April 29, 2014 from 1:00pm - 2:00pm EDT

 

Presented By:  Nicholas Drey, MS, Wellness Director at Walnut Ridge at Clive Senior Community

Why Water Matters in a Retirement Community

 

Among the amenities that retirement communities offer, wellness centers that include fitness equipment and exercise rooms are increasingly popular. Deciding what to include in your center can make a difference between it being the focal point of the community or just another location. In this case study, find out why Walnut Ridge at Clive Senior Community was able to create a successful and thriving wellness center by including a swimming pool and smaller therapeutic pool along with the land-based fitness options.

Learn why water matters to the aging population, and why a pool is an investment that is worth every penny. In addition to generating revenue, the water and land features are a great marketing tool that will lead to long-lasting relationships. See what connections are available and how to make them work for you.
