Anthology Senior Living communities like Anthology of Anderson Township and Anthology of Troy make it a priority to create a fun environment with lots of social options for residents. The social events and programs help to support mental and emotional health, while many senior living communities also offer fitness programs and exercise classes to support physical health. This focus on overall health and wellness is a key aspect of creating a happy, healthy lifestyle during retirement.
