New Ideas About
Growing Older

People over 60 now represent the fastest-growing population group worldwide. Already nearing 600 million in strength, they are projected to make up more than 20% of the total population of Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia by 2025.

With numbers like these, it’s no wonder that we’re taking a new look at some old ideas about aging – and changing them radically.

Of course there’s no magical Fountain of Youth, but research is demonstrating that an active and healthy lifestyle may be the next best thing. Exercising body – and mind – can help you enjoy continued good health and well-being throughout your retirement.

At Westminster-Canterbury, you’ll find the resources – from our heated indoor pool, fitness center, and campus walking paths, to our planned bird sanctuary and a wellness center stocked with research materials for resident use – to help you pursue an active, healthy retirement lifestyle.

Today, there are a lot of new ideas about growing older – and one way to keep up to date is to stay in touch with what’s new at Westminster-Canterbury. Of course, the World Wide Web is another terrific resource. Below we’ve put together some links to sites you may find of interest – so bookmark this page and get ready for a little cyber-surfing.
