One of the many wellness opportunities available to both Still Hopes residents and those from the surrounding community is participation in our brain fitness classes featuring the “Posit Science” program.

Check your local PBS listing for air times in your area.

Wellness According to the Soul of the Community Study: social offerings (fun places to gather), openness (how welcoming a place is) and basic services (community infrastructure) are the most important factors in emotionally connecting metro-Columbia residents to where they live.
The rich lifestyle, relaxed pace and temperate climate make Columbia a leading U.S. retirement destination. In 2009, the city was named one of Money Magazine’s “25 Best Places to Retire” and was one of U.S. News Group’s 10 “Best Affordable Places to Retire.” And for the sixth consecutive year, Still Hopes received Columbia Metropolitan Magazine’s “Best Of” Award for Active Adult/Retirement Communities.
Schedule a tour today and see for yourself why the Columbia area continues to be the best place to retire in the south! 803-739-5040 or visit the Still Hopes website.
