Wellness & Health


 

 

 

 

Today’s definition of health and fitness includes mental alertness and curiosity, an understanding and acceptance of our emotions, relationships with other individuals, awareness and involvement in societal strivings, and the physical vigor to accomplish these essential elements of our total being.

The multi-dimensional nature of health and fitness is the essence of Meadowood’s Wellness programming. Our programs and activities are designed to capitalize on the strong base of mental, emotional and social stimuli inherent within the Meadowood community while promoting a preventative wellness program through a collaborative effort.


Meadowood’s registered dietitian counsels and emphasizes nutritionally balanced menus based on the dietary guidelines of the USDA. Analysis of residents’ food plans for weight management, nutritional soundness and specific health needs is available at no cost. Meadowood provides every resident with membership in the Bloomington Hospital’s Plus + Card Program, an organization that offers assistance in completing insurance forms, health promotion seminars, and convenient early detection/screening and diagnostic services/wellness checks to Meadowood residents at discounted fees or at no cost.

 

 

Quoting Meadowood Resident Dorcas Porter:


I feel protected here — I feel safe. If I need assistance I can call my own doctor or get help from people at the Health Pavilion.
