Wellness Programs & Activities

Did you know that being isolated from others can have a negative impact on your health? Loneliness has been linked to heart problems, cognitive decline and other medical problems.

At The Herrick House, there are always chances to be around people with similar interests. At the residence you can gather with friends at the Heel Tapper Pub for our daily social hour, attend movies or play trivia. You’ll also find socials — including special socials for veterans — and resident town meetings on the schedule. You can take part in whatever activities you like and rest assured knowing that you never have to be alone.

We offer pet therapy for residents interested in feeling some extra love and joy from a furry friend. For your enjoyment, we also offer group off-campus outings to places such as restaurants, cinemas and museums.

Regular physical activity is vital to your health. You’ll find plenty of opportunities here. Why not give our daily exercise classes a try, or join us for chair yoga? If these activities don't interest you, perhaps you’d enjoy some golf on our putting and driving range. Even the walking paths on our beautiful grounds can help you get your blood pumping.

For many people, tending to their spiritual health is as important as addressing their physical needs. We offer activities including on-site religious services, meditation and spiritual wellness programs for our residents.

Activities such as art classes and crafts may help you explore your creative side. Plus, they can be a lot of fun!

Our residents can experience therapeutic gardening with our mobile, indoor garden through the Eldergrow Program.

At The Herrick House, we like to celebrate and have a good time! We offer holiday parties, birthday luncheons, theme dinners, family barbecues and other special events. Movies, concerts and other types of entertainment are often on the docket, as well.
