Adapted from the Six Dimensions of Wellness developed by Dr. Bill Hettler from the National Wellness Institute (NWI), this model has been customized for Senior Living so that it blends occupational pursuits with environmental, cultural, and vocational interests, all of which fall under the Dimension of Wellness called “Community Connections.” Ally Senior Living has added a Seventh Dimension of Wellness called “Intergenerational”, in recognition and support of the importance of seniors engaging regularly with other generations, including the very young, teenagers and young adults.

By getting to know each resident on a personal level, we are able to offer activities and programming that engage all residents based on their desires. Our Traditions Program demonstrates resident-centered care by also utilizing the Seven Dimensions of Wellness that capture the essence of each resident – who they are, their lifetime of achievements, successes, and accomplishments – and then provides the tools for our community team to personally connect with each resident throughout the day.
