What is Flourish? Flourish is a Galerie Living signature wellness program. Regardless of age or ability, we all have stories to share, lessons to learn, and wellness goals to achieve. Flourish uses evidence-based practices and leading neurocognitive research to support a holistic approach for overall well-being focusing on four core components: Social, Intellectual, Physical, and Spiritual (SIPS). Programmed throughout Village Park Senior Living and Corso communities, Flourish provides engaging experiences to create new memories.

SIPS Social · Intellectual · Physical · Spiritual Our research-based philosophy on successful aging is simple. Flourish programming focuses on four core components; Social, Intellectual, Physical, and Spiritual. Based off of Dr. Roger Landry and the MacArthur Foundation's research on authentic health and successful aging, Flourish programs provide the following: A mentally stimulating and physically active lifestyle. Strong social engagement and connection. Purpose and meaning in one’s life. Environments that support one's lifestyle. Galerie Living’s philosophy and comprehensive definition of wellness emphasizes holistic approaches and focuses on each resident’s ability, personal goals, connection and all-around engagement. These four dimensions of well-being serve as a guide for supporting wellness goals. 11 | S.I.P.S.
