Everyone deserves to live an active life, and at CRISTA, we make that possible. In today’s fast-paced world, prioritizing health and wellness is crucial, especially for seniors. According to the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, staying active can help lower your risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes and improve your overall strength and independence. CRISTA Senior Living understands the importance of an active lifestyle. At Cristwood Park in Shoreline, WA, and Crista Shores in Silverdale, WA, we work to foster an environment that encourages physical activity and overall well-being.

Engaging Exercise

At CRISTA Senior Living, staying active is made easy through various fitness amenities tailored to meet our residents’ diverse needs and preferences. Our fitness programs and amenities include:

Exercise classes: We offer strength training classes that focus on building muscle mass and improving bone density, which are essential for maintaining mobility and independence.

Private pool: Perfect for seniors looking for a low-impact workout, our exercise pool utilizes water’s buoyancy, reducing strain on joints while providing a robust cardiovascular workout.

Gym access: Residents can access our fitness equipment and work out on their own time within their limits.

Scenic walking paths: The CRISTA Senior Living campus features beautifully landscaped walking paths for strolls or brisk walks. Our walking paths are safe, well-maintained, and surrounded by scenic views, allowing residents to enjoy nature while staying active.

Comprehensive Wellness Programs

At CRISTA Senior Living, wellness extends beyond physical activity. Our holistic approach through the Live Well Program includes a range of wellness offerings catered to our residents’ overall health:

Dining: We understand the importance of a balanced diet and offer 24-hour access to nutrient-dense meals.

Medical Care: Onsite medical and healthcare professionals are available for care and medication management.

Spiritual Well-being: Residents can attend multiple chapel and worship services, and on-campus chaplains are available for prayer and spiritual guidance.

Social Activities: We have a full social calendar featuring outings, game nights, and group activities to ensure residents remain engaged and connected, enhancing their quality of life.

CRISTA Senior Living stands out as a community dedicated to supporting active and healthy lifestyles among seniors. Our various exercise classes, scenic walking paths, and comprehensive wellness programs empower our residents to prioritize their health and well-being.

I would like to commend Cristwood Park staff on their efforts to protect themselves and their residents from COVID. It’s been a concern of ours since last March and we have been relieved to see so few cases in the Cristwood Park community. I would like to thank the staff and leadership for their diligence in maintaining good protocols throughout this pandemic.
