Center-Specific Wellness Goal

In order to develop a wellness goal that promotes wellness in the senior center, it is important to conduct a needs assessment. This can be done as part of a site council meeting, a separate meeting, a questionnaire, or any way the center finds appropriate. Please refer to the “Six Dimensions of Wellness” in the references section of this chapter.

Wellness is more than just physical and/or emotional harmony. Wellness also includes: occupational, social, spiritual, and intellectual balance.

Wellness Goal: Which dimension will the center use based on the needs assessment? The goal is designed to be met over a one-year period. The goal will be measured at the end of the current year. .

Goal:

The ____________________________________________________ (name of senior center)
