Life’s a Luau at Woodland Terrace

Jul 18, Alissa Sauer

At Woodland Terrace, we provide older adults with the most fulfilling, rewarding, and productive opportunities possible. We know that instead of sitting in a rocking chair, you want to keep rocking – and we’re here to help you do just that.

On July 10, our community came together for one of our favorite summer traditions, the annual luau. Residents, families, and team members spent the day enjoying good food, lively music, and meaningful moments that show what life at Woodland Terrace is all about.

A Taste of the Islands, Right Here at Home

Our outdoor patio and dining room turned into a Hawaiian paradise, complete with colorful decorations, festive island music, and plenty of smiles. Residents and guests were welcomed with leis and warm greetings before heading to the piña colada bar for a taste of the tropics. Chef Chad served up a delicious menu of island-inspired favorites while live steel drums set the perfect backdrop for an afternoon of dancing and connection.

“I always look forward to the luau,” said Melissa D., our Activities Director. “Watching residents and families laugh, dance, and enjoy the sunshine together is what makes Woodland Terrace feel like home.”

Celebrating What Matters Most

For us, the annual luau is more than just a party. It’s a celebration of the relationships and traditions that make life here so meaningful. At Woodland Terrace, we understand the importance of connection, especially as we grow older.

Research shows nearly one-third of adults over 45 feel lonely, and more than one-fourth of those over 65 are socially isolated. That’s why events like this matter. They bring people together in meaningful ways, strengthen relationships, and remind residents and families alike that senior living isn’t just about care. It’s about connection.

The annual luau is a reflection of our PrimeFit Wellness signature program, which puts wellness at the center of community life. We believe wellness is about more than physical health. It’s about staying engaged, active, and connected in ways that matter to you. From fitness to social connection to emotional well-being, PrimeFit Wellness supports every part of your life so you can keep doing the things you love, your way.
