No matter how old you are, keeping your mind and body active is vital to feeling your best.
At Deerfield, an Immanuel Signature Community in Urbandale, Iowa, Wellness Manager Justin Riesberg brings Immanuel’s mission to nurture residents’ minds and bodies to fruition. Through his innovative approach to wellness, Justin enhances the overall well-being of each resident, ensuring that every aspect of their lives is enriched and supported.
“Immanuel really focuses on wellness, and it’s a whole-person wellness, and they really want the best for the residents,” Justin said. “And giving them the opportunity to do that each week by offering something that is a little bit different just shows the value they see in providing wellness opportunities for the residents.”
From daily activities to Immanuel Adventures programs like rock climbing, Justin’s approach is unique in its focus on variety and innovation. It ensures that wellness is not just a routine but a dynamic part of residents’ lives. For Justin, the greatest reward is seeing the positive impact on residents.
“Seeing the residents smile, seeing the residents work hard each day, I enjoy every single minute that I get to be here, and I enjoy the opportunity when we get to go outside, we get to go rock climbing and get the opportunity to impact their lives. There’s no greater reward.”
Whether through a challenging new activity or a quiet moment of connection, Justin’s guidance is felt throughout Deerfield. His dedication to his role and the residents is a testament to Immanuel’s mission to enrich the lives of those we serve.
