This past week, visiting the Gary and Mary West Senior Wellness Center introduced me to another aspect of the San Diego Community. I was surprised by the interior design of the location as well as all of the amenities that the center provides for the older members of San Diego. Although the space does not look substantially spacious from the outside, it is until one walk around that we are able to see everything the Gary and Mary West Senior Wellness Center entails for their members. I was shocked all of the accessible comprehensive care that is offered in only one facility, everything from a social worker, to dental care, to the cyber café, they all provide a more holistic approach to well-being for the elder population of San Diego.
After touring the location and arriving to the community dinning location of the center, I was very stunned about the ample number of motivational quotes that were hung up around the walls. I spent a good amount of my time reading each and every one of the hung quotes, and they each related to valuing a person’s life, more particular the life of an elder person. I think this sort of décor makes the largest impact when forming the environment setting since it focuses on the community’s happiness and works towards addressing the issue in which the elder population struggles with depression.
My experience with the Gary and Mary West Senior Wellness Center was very wholesome, and I cannot wait to revisit the site and reconnect with some of the members of the community since it was very fun to socialize with them and learn about their lives as well as share a little bit about ourselves to them.
