Since 1985, Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury has been the neighborhood of choice for older adults wishing to enjoy an active lifestyle free of the worries of home ownership, knowing they’ll receive state-of-the-art care as they age. While residents have taken advantage of the many amenities that make RWC a special place to live, over its thirty years, RWC has also become an important community resource. Its “Viewpoints” series brings speakers on a range of important and timely topics to the Northern Neck. RWC has welcomed the community to religious services, performances, and exhibitions by artists and musicians, and opened up its wellness programs to seniors who want to stay fit and healthy.
“We are particularly proud of our community involvement in the area of wellness,” says President and CEO Stuart Bunting. “For years we’ve sponsored a special program for everyone in the area designed to serve those with Parkinson’s and their caregivers. We’ve been recognized by the International Council on Active Aging for our “Mind & Muscle” series, which is also open to the community at large.”
Bunting says the future at RWC looks bright for this award-winning program. “With the support of our board and the residents, we’re planning to build a new wellness center. We’re consulting residents to be certain we provide the kinds of activities and amenities they want. We plan to invite our neighbors in the area to participate in many of the activities we’ll be sponsoring. We consider ourselves a resource for everyone in the area interested in wellness and healthy living.”
