Splendido at Rancho Vistoso, a retirement community in Oro Valley, recently earned a Pinnacle Award by the International Council on Active Aging. The Pinnacle Awards recognize the five best retirement communities in North America with a commitment to wellness in every sense of the word. While Splendido has previously won other ICAA awards, it has never won their highest-ranking Pinnacle award for a wellness culture that “permeates all aspects of life.”
“It’s very individual,” said Gale Morgan, senior vice president of sales for Mather. “The industry used to consider wellness as strength, muscle, fitness and lack of illness. But wellness can still be important to someone even as fitness changes. In addition to those, wellness can be the ability to stay engaged or stay connected or feel like you’re learning new things.”
