At EPOCH Senior Living, we take employee wellness seriously. It’s no secret that employees working with companies that place an emphasis on wellness initiatives are happier in their jobs, are more productive, and, of course, enjoy greater physical and mental wellness. We’ve seen our EPOCH team pursue wellness in a number of ways, from walking initiatives to healthy potlucks to blood pressure checks and more.

At EPOCH Senior Healthcare of Brewster, the Wellness Team there is making great process in transforming part of their break room into a relaxation area. They’ve separated a portion of the space from the rest of the room with a screen featuring relaxing outdoor imagery, and they’ll soon include comfortable chairs and a reading rack with materials focused on wellness.

Christine Walkley lives in Harwich, Mass., where she and her husband, Charles, and sons, Andrew (22) and Christopher (20), settled 11 years ago following a 28-year adventure exploring the country courtesy her husband’s career with the US Coast Guard. Over the years, she has participated in community events at EPOCH at Brewster Place and has incorporated visits and activities there for church youth group programs that she has directed.

Medicare has been called many things, and not one of them is “easily understood.” In fact, understanding the intricacies of Medicare can be a significant challenge. Medicare Parts A, B, C – do you know what it all means? If not, there are a few opportunities at EPOCH in the coming weeks to learn more, and for free. EPOCH at Melbourne will host a Medicare Basics presentation on Oct. 18, and EPOCH Senior Healthcare of Brewster is sponsoring a similar program on the Cape.

Now that the overwhelming heat seems to finally be tapering off, there’s no better time to stop by EPOCH for an outdoor concert or presentation. Summer is a great time to experience all EPOCH has to offer – there’s really nothing better than enjoying our outdoor grounds while listening to a talented musician on a summer evening.
