In a community like the Hermitage, wellness programs assist individuals
in the development of a sound body, mind and spirit. Residents are
certainly encouraged to participate in the various fitness programs
and classes offered, but there is so much more. Wellness includes
not only the physical, but also the mental, spiritual, and social
components of living that make up and influence a person’s
well being. Support groups, prayer groups, and worship services
help meet spiritual needs; a variety of leisure activities, including
ceramics, watercolor, basketry, weaving, knitting and even poetry
encourage self-expression and artistic talents.
Lecture series and cultural events are popular. Being only 10 minutes
from Washington, DC’s finest museums, galleries, and performing
art centers, bus trips are conveniently planned so residents may
take every opportunity to enjoy these events. In addition, the Hermitage
has a very active Resident Council, as well as a variety of committees
where residents can openly communicate their wants and needs. No
matter your preference or how active a lifestyle you choose, there
is something for everyone at the Hermitage.
