Prioritizing Physical, Mental, & Spiritual Wellness at Arya at DeBary

Prioritizing Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Wellness

Arya at DeBary weaves wellness into our approach to senior care everyday. Our philosophy is that a person is well when the whole body is well. The wellness approach takes the mind, body, and spirit into account for each individual resident–including caregivers. We offer short-term, respite stays in our community when caregivers need extra support or potential residents want to experience the community first hand.

The pursuit of a balanced and fulfilled life doesn’t end at a certain age, or with the onset of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. All of our residents are given the space and support they need to age with dignity, feel healthy, and continue to grow and learn. As local members of the surrounding community, we also appreciate the diversity in our community by hiring staff members who are bilingual. At Arya at DeBary, we are committed to meeting your needs every step of the way.

“Wellness is an active, lifelong pursuit toward a balanced and fulfilled life.”
