1. The “Flourishing at Brightview” program – before residents move in, Brightview associates take the time to learn each resident’s likes, dislikes, careers, past and present hobbies, and aspirations to ensure they receive the most of what Brightview offers. New residents are introduced to current residents with similar interests, and invitations to meals and other activities make it easier to make friends quickly.
2. Brightview’s approach to care is centered on Possibilities, Independence, and Choice. Residents who require a helping hand are encouraged to maintain their independence and choice in their activities of daily living. We believe that each person, no matter how old or frail, has the possibility to grow and experience joy every day.
3. To ensure the highest quality living experience for residents and their families, residents and associates complete an annual, confidential satisfaction survey, and action plans are developed by the company to address feedback.
4. Brightview’s activities are based on a philosophy that incorporates all dimensions of wellness: Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Cultural and Emotional (SPICE). With activities like guest speakers, trips to the theater, and friendly games of poker, Brightview residents remain engaged. Brightview and our partner Bayada also offer the SPICE in Motion program, an exercise class which has been statistically proven to increase the health and well-being of residents. Residents experience increased mobility, faster recovery from surgeries, and significantly lower re-hospitalization rates.
5. Brightview builds and operates Brightview Senior Living communities, which means that from the initial design of the building through daily operations, everything is centered on creating an exceptional experience for our residents.

Our exclusive SPICE in Motion program helps mobility and outlook

Residents who exercise at least three days a week enjoy a better quality of life. Studies show that regular exercisers experience fewer falls, improve their mobility, stay mentally sharp, spend less time in the hospital, and feel more positive and engaged in life.

That's why we include our innovative SPICE in Motion program at no additional fee. SPICE in motion builds on Brightview's ongoing wellness efforts, incorporating five holistic elements of wellness efforts, incorporating five holistic elements of wellness – Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Cultural, and Emotional – and uses a blend of programs to create meaningful, healthy, stimulating and positive lifestyles.

UNLIKE OTHER WELLNESS PROGRAMS, SPICE IN MOTION IS BUILT AROUND OUR RESIDENTS

SPICE in Motion begins by identifying your exercise interests, health risks, functional needs, and life satisfaction by conducting fitness and activity surveys. Led by certified professional Fitness Specialists, our one-hour classes include a warm-up, cardiovascular exercise, strength and power exercise, static and dynamic balance activity, and cool down. We incorporate weights, bands, exercise balls, and brain games into the classes.

Each month, our health and wellness talks cover topics such as "Preventing Falls and Improving Balance," "How to Get a Better Night's Sleep," and "Living with Joy and Happiness."

Mind & Music has Three Key Components

1) MUSIC TO EVERYONE

With Sonos® Sound Systems, the full benefits of Mind & Music™ reach Wellspring Village® neighborhoods’ common spaces. Associates can use music to enhance group activities, help calm and redirect frustrated residents or facilitate socialization through sing-alongs, dancing, and discussions. For example, music in the dining room during meals will help to drown out background noise and add an ambiance and uniqueness to the experience.

2) PORTABLE, PERSONALIZED PLAYLISTS

Brightview Senior Living provides headphones, smart devices, and Amazon Music® in all Wellspring Village® neighborhoods. With this technology, associates create a personalized playlist for each resident featuring the person’s favorite songs, musicians, and genres to produce their own brand of musically inspired peace and happiness whenever – and wherever – they wish.

3) CREATIVE EXPRESSION THROUGH MUSIC

Each Wellspring Village® team collaborates with local musicians and certified music professionals who are talented in harnessing a person’s abilities to create music. Programs might include drum circles, singing, and music relaxation groups.

HEALING BENEFITS OF MUSIC

The healing benefits of music are scientifically proven, and a melody’s ability to communicate with our conscious and unconscious minds make it an exceptionally effective tonic for people in even the most advanced stages of dementia.

With Mind & Music™, we make each Wellspring Village® dementia care neighborhood a brighter, more joyful, and harmonious place for people with dementia to live!
