Make March Matter

Food brings us together—whether sharing an intimate meal with a friend or celebrating a special occasion with family. And what better time to satisfy your appetite for connection with others, and for the most delicious food, than National Nutrition Month?

Living well means seizing opportunities to connect with others, explore interests, and nurture a healthy lifestyle. It’s being part of a community where you feel valued. And it’s eating nutritious food that doesn’t compromise on flavor. At Sumter Senior Living, we provide all the ingredients necessary to live up to your potential—from fitness lessons to therapeutic programs and daily activities that define our vibrant way of life.

Conveniently located in The Villages® community of the Sunshine State, Sumter Senior Living provides you with all the amenities of home—and much more—so you can live life to the fullest.

Dine Gracefully
Every March, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics sponsors National Nutrition Month®: a campaign to help people establish healthier eating habits. Especially for seniors, maintaining a healthy diet can help meet varying nutritional needs and counter the higher risks of cardiovascular disease.

But cooking a balanced dinner or making weekly grocery trips can be exhausting. Wouldn’t it be nice to have meals prepared in the perfect proportions brought right to you? Dining at Sumter Senior Living is about serving foods that meet the dietary needs of seniors while also featuring the choices you expect; it’s the all-inclusive, restaurant-style dining you’ve been waiting for.

Do you prefer a traditional sit-down venue? Or maybe a less formal bistro experience? Choose your ideal dining setting—or switch it up each meal! For ultimate flexibility, our grab-and-go allows residents to pick up a quick snack or lunch before heading to their next activity. Celebrating an event with guests? Reserve our private dining room and have the culinary team put together a special menu.

According to The World Health Organization, a healthy diet helps protect against malnutrition, as well as diseases like diabetes and cancer. Which is why however you choose to dine at Sumter Senior Living, you can rest assured knowing our chef-prepared meals are made with you in mind. Our Executive Chef partners with The Villages Grown to provide residents with hyper-fresh, nutrient-dense food to support healthy, active lifestyles that will satisfy the taste buds.

Our menus also feature foods that promote brain health like fish, berries, coffee, and tea. And to support heart health, we include items like lean meats, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Looking for non-meat or gluten-free options? Community chefs will create delicious dishes to meet your nutritional needs.

Nourish Your Body
More than just your physical health, wellness is a philosophy that encourages habits to enhance the body, mind, and spirit. Research on healthy aging from The National Institute of Wellness states that 70% of physical—and 50% of mental—aging is determined by lifestyle choices. Long-term health benefits are attributed to seniors who embrace wellness in their approach to exercise, diet, and social connections.

Continued research suggests the key to a longer life could be in harnessing the dimensions of wellness. Physically active seniors have lower mortality rates and higher levels of functional and cognitive health. What’s more, an active social life is linked to better cardiovascular outcomes, greater infectious disease immunity, and lower risk of depression.

Fortunately, Sumter Senior Living’s lively community is a recipe for social engagement and life enrichment. Choose from our full calendar of programs—from exercise and wellness to adventures in the larger community; we provide great sources of joy, excitement, and relaxation.

If you prefer a less structured day, head to our Grande Clubhouse where resort-style amenities such as a heated pool, full bar, and fitness center are available to enjoy at your leisure. We encourage residents and team members alike to lead healthier, more active lifestyles, helping build a culture that celebrates every moment in our journey together.
