Senior Wellness is our Passion
The Civitas Speaker Series
Senior wellness is a journey, not a destination. The Passion Program is a comprehensive continuum of care that includes My Activities, My Food, My Passion Pathway, and My Wellness. The programs help residents live healthier by providing activity programming, medication management, culinary experiences, and more.
Tech Ridge Oaks — a Civitas Senior Living community — is passionate about senior wellness programs. We provide resources for older adults to live confidently and independently. The Civitas Speaker Series offers an expansive range of senior health and wellness topics, from diet and nutrition to exercise and mental health.
These videos highlight many of the benefits of our senior living community in Austin, TX. Take an inside look into our passion for elevating senior health.
