Active Aging Week (AAW) is a national initiative that promotes the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. It offers older adults the opportunity to experience diverse activities, exercise, and experiences in a safe, friendly and fun atmosphere.
Together, Humana and the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA) present this national event; it is organized by ICAA. Significantly, ICAA is the association that has been leading, connecting and defining the active aging industry since 2001. Events are delivered by ICAA’s members and Active Aging Week host sites.
Host Sites
Host sites include senior living communities, seniors centers, parks & recreation centers, fitness clubs and studios. It reaches cities, hospital wellness, and government departments. For greater impact, these settings host activities at their locations, in parks and malls and at community locations such as churches and social clubs.
The Living to 100 Club is honored to be a Host Site for AAW. Though the Club does not have a physical space, the same message can be shared in our “virtual” space. Through our website presence, communications to our Club members, in all senior community settings, and on social media, the Living to 100 Club hopes to promote all aspects of aging successfully, regardless of where we are or what gets in the way.
The overarching message is to promote the vision of all individuals—regardless of age, socio-economic status or health—fully engaging in life within seven dimensions of wellness. These seven dimensions are emotional, environmental, intellectual/cognitive, physical, professional/vocational, social and spiritual.
What’s In It for You
In the preceding weeks and days, look for a collection of resources aligned with a positive view of aging here and on the AAW website. These resources will include inspirational videos, articles, podcasts with thought leaders on successful aging, and a special “Playbook” highlighting the seven dimensions of healthy aging.
