Retirement is a time to embrace new opportunities, rediscover passions and live life to the fullest. At Grace Inspired Living, our two exceptional communities—Lutheran Community at Telford and The Community at Rockhill—are designed to help you stay active, engaged and healthy throughout your retirement years.
Whether it’s pursuing hobbies, enhancing physical fitness or connecting with others, we offer amenities and programs tailored to your needs and interests. Let’s explore how an active retirement is within reach and how our communities support your journey.
Why Stay Active in Retirement
Staying active during retirement is vital for maintaining physical, mental and emotional well-being. The AARP reports that regular physical activity can:
- Lower the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis.
- Enhance mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
- Improve cognitive function, memory and focus.
Retirement offers the perfect opportunity to prioritize health and wellness, and Grace Inspired Living is committed to helping our residents achieve their personal goals.
LiveWell... and Thive!
Comprehensive Fitness & Wellness Programs
Our overarching LiveWell Program integrates fitness, wellness and community engagement into both of our campuses, and these facilities rival even the best of gyms! Some highlights include:
- Lutheran Community at Telford’s State-of-the-Art Fitness Center: Accessible without even leaving the building, our space offers cardiovascular machines by Landice, SciFit and NuStep, strength-training rooms available 24/7/365 and smart-technology HUR resistance equipment with easy-to-understand instructions on a touch-screen display, among other adaptive features that create a unique and personalized user experience.
- Heated Indoor Pools (both): Open daily for swimming and weekly aquatic exercise programs, such as water volleyball and Hydro Fit & Stretch. The Community at Rockhill also features a Whirlpool Spa!
- Personalized Wellness Programs: Personal fitness training and daily group exercise classes cater to all fitness abilities, and therapeutic services such as massage and physical therapy ensure tailored wellness plans.
Vibrant Social and Recreational Activities
Staying active isn’t just about physical fitness; it’s just as much about nurturing mind and spirit. Residents at Grace Inspired Living communities enjoy:
- Creative spaces like a Model Train Room, Creative Arts Studios, Wood Shops and an Art Gallery.

Peace of Mind with Health Services
On-site nursing staff are available to provide as-needed health care services and facilitate emergency response—not to mention a full continuum of care at both communities—ensuring peace of mind for residents and their families. Residents can fine-tune their physique and stay ready to take on whatever their active retirement lifestyle may throw at them next!
