Vitalize 360 is a free program offered by Collington to residents to promote successful aging. Vitalize 360 has been developed as a joint venture between two not-for-profits: Hebrew SeniorLife, a Harvard Medical School Affiliate, and Kendal.
Vitalize 360 does not look at just one part of an individual. It embraces the entire well-being of a person—the 360 degree view—and encourages older adults to consider all aspects of their lives including health, nutrition, physical and mental fitness, community activity, social connections, spirituality, sense of purpose, and life-long learning. The coaching conversation guides, inspires and challenges the individual to create a full, vibrant lifestyle, towards living the best life possible.
At the heart of the program is a conversation between the resident and the coach. Meetings give participants an opportunity to share what is and has been most important, to reflect on significant life events or markers, and to identify areas of current success and challenge. Participants develop goals that support existing activities or inspire new achievements. The goals become part of his/her unique Vitality Plan that is revisited quarterly.
The position for the Vitalize 360 Coach at Collington is currently vacant.
