Live Healthy and Happy. Live Better.

The Terraces at San Joaquin Gardens provides an innnovative approach to senior living — called Masterpiece Living®. Based on a decade-long study by the MacArthur Foundation, Masterpiece Living is a program that’s all about aging successfully.

According to the study, only 30% of how we age can be attributed to genetics. The other 70% is determined by our lifestyle choices, from how we eat to how connected we are socially. Through Masterpiece Living, self-esteem, confidence, meaning, and continued growth are encouraged and enhanced in a variety of ways.

Renowned expert Dr. Roger Landry, who travels nationwide to speak to seniors about the program, says, “Loneliness and isolation are two things you’ll never have to worry about at The Terraces, where you’ll be surrounded by social connections — the best predicator of happiness.”

As part of a community-wide commitment to wellness, The Terraces at San Joaquin Gardens also champions the use of Posit Science® — a series of computer-based programs designed for seniors to improve brain function, regardless of age. Personalized for individual needs and requiring no computer experience, Posit Science is not only easy, but fun!

The Terraces was recently awarded the NuStep 2009 Pinnacle Award for outstanding whole-person wellness programs! We look forward to maintaining this record of excellence as we continually evolve our community, providing even more impressive services and amenities as time goes on.
