Introducing The Happiness Project: A New Chapter of Joyful Living in Our Communities
At the heart of every senior living community is a shared desire—for connection, meaning, vitality, and joy. That’s why we’re proud to introduce The Happiness Project at Lighthouse Pointe Village in Pittsburgh, PA—a transformative initiative weaving whole-person wellness into the daily rhythm of life for both residents and teammates.
The Happiness Project isn’t just another program. It’s a new way of being—one that honors the uniqueness of each individual and the richness of their stories. It’s a shift from a reactive healthcare model to a proactive, human-centered approach that nurtures the full spectrum of wellness in our senior living community.
Wellness That’s Personal, Powerful, and Proactive
From the very beginning, The Happiness Project begins with listening. Each of our senior living communities is unique—and we believe that wellness should reflect that uniqueness. At Lighthouse Pointe Village, our team engages directly with residents and staff to understand what joy, health, and fulfillment mean to them. Together, we co-create an environment that feels vibrant, inclusive, and deeply personal.
Central to our vision are the Eight Dimensions of Wellness—the pillars that support a life of wholeness:
- Occupational – Encouraging personal fulfillment and engagement in meaningful activities.
- Physical – Supporting energy and vitality through movement, nourishment, and rest.
- Financial – Fostering peace of mind through financial wellbeing and planning.
- Emotional – Nurturing resilience and building satisfying relationships.
- Intellectual – Sparking curiosity, creativity, and continuous learning.
- Environmental – Creating beautiful, calming spaces that inspire wellbeing.
- Social – Cultivating connection, belonging, and strong support systems.
- Spiritual – Guiding individuals to a deeper sense of purpose and meaning.
A Vision of Vibrant Aging
Our vision is to build senior living communities where wellness isn’t a checklist—it’s a culture. A way of living that uplifts every resident and every teammate. By aligning joy with value-based care, The Happiness Project fosters reduced hospital visits, fewer falls, enhanced quality of life, and improved aging-in-place outcomes. For our teammates, it means stronger bonds, greater fulfillment, and lower turnover.
A Glimpse Into the Future
What does this all lead to? Healthier, happier people. More connected communities. And a shared sense of purpose that radiates through every hallway, gathering space, and quiet moment at Lighthouse Pointe Village.
The Happiness Project invites all of us—residents, families, and caregivers alike—to be part of something extraordinary. This is only the beginning.
