CARMEL, Ind. -- The 2018 Winter Olympics may be in Pyeongchang, but people at The Barrington of Carmel will throw their own Olympics in Indiana.
The games will be part of the Movement Matters campaign through Masterpiece Living, which emphasizes physical health, spiritual fulfillment, intellectual challenge and social engagement as the key components to successful aging and a better lifestyle.
The month-long campaign is centered around increasing movement and overall well-being.
People living at the center will be divided into teams to compete against each other in eight Olympic games.
The games are held every Wednesday and Friday in September, and about 70 people, including assisted living and memory care residents from The Plaza Health Services at the Barrington, have signed up to participate.
This year, the senior living community is including employees to play on the Olympic teams. An employee from each department will be on a resident team to play in the games and help their team win.
The goal of the Olympic games is to motivate individuals to move more and sustain their increased movement throughout the year.
