Written by The Lodge at Greeley | Nov 30, 2025 5:00:00 AM

As we get older, our needs change, and we require more help with emotional wellness. The Lodge at Greeley in Greeley, CO, can help seniors with these adjustments with vibrant social engagement, safe and comfortable housing, and purposeful living.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says that while most older adults have good health, many are at risk of developing mental health conditions, as well as other health problems that may require some form of long-term care. This can have a profound effect on their emotional well-being, and seniors may require outside assistance to regain a good quality of life.

For those in Greeley, CO, you should consider The Lodge at Greeley. We're here to help older adults adjust to shifting needs with personalized care so that they experience the best emotional wellness possible.

Which Strategy Helps Maintain Emotional Wellness?

To maintain emotional wellness, older adults should maintain meaningful social connections. According to Michigan Medicine, around 33% of seniors experience loneliness and isolation, which can hugely impact mental health.

But if you stay socially engaged, this can dramatically reduce feelings of isolation and increase your overall happiness. When you have human connections, this gives you emotional care in aging, which then encourages positive thinking.

You should also use other strategies, such as exercise, mindfulness, and creative hobbies.

What Are Three Ways to Improve Emotional Wellness?

Three ways to improve emotional wellness are:

  1. Staying active
  2. Practicing mindfulness
  3. Engaging in meaningful activities

Staying active can help reduce stress hormones. As a result, it'll improve your sleep quality and boost your mood.

As for mindfulness practices, you can do the following to get emotional clarity and better manage negative thoughts:

  • Meditation
  • Deep breathing
  • Journaling

Lastly, engaging in meaningful activities can give you a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Try things like:

  • Volunteering
  • Crafting
  • Learning something new
