Enriching Lives
PATHWAY TO HEALTHIER LIVING promotes activities and lifestyles that lead to physical, psychological, and emotional well- being. Operation Pathways partners with organizations and individuals to develop and implement multi-faceted programs devoted to healthier living, including fitness classes, healthy cooking workshops, smoking
cessation programs, and community garden projects. Often, mobile health services come directly to properties to provide health screenings, vaccinations, and diagnose potentially serious issues.
PATHWAY TO FINANCIAL STABILITY educates residents in sound financial practices to increase income, decrease expenses, and build assets. The financial education program provides instruction related to credit, savings, proper insurance coverage, and investments. With this education, residents are able to build budgets and save for the future.
Operation Pathways also provides opportunities for residents to increase their employability through workforce development, including technology workshops, GED support, resume writing, and interview preparation. PATHWAY TO AGING IN PLACE engages residents in NHPF’s senior communities by providing programs and services that give senior residents the tools they need to ensure economic security, prevent illness, improve health, understand their legal rights, and live in a safe environment. Seniors are engaged through activities and programs that also encourage socialization, so as to enhance social support, increase awareness and education, and prevent elder abuse. The resident services coordinator at each property assesses the needs of residents and responds by implementing programs and services to improve their quality of life. The coordinators represent Operation Pathways in each community and provide one-on-one individualized support and guidance to help residents identify resources and overcome the challenges they face.
