Laughter Therapy
Laughter Therapy sessions are offered on a regular basis by a certified Laughter Therapist. Laughter is like "internal jogging," a form of exercise that keeps the body and mind fit. And just as important, it is one of the favorite activities of many residents.
Naturopathic Medicine
We have partnered with Bastyr University to offer naturopathic health assessments free of charge. Teams include at least one senior student and a supervising naturopathic physician. These are available to our residents (and family members) on a weekly basis.
Spa Rooms
Our two spa rooms have state-of-the-art hydrotherapy tubs. These tubs have a side door that allow residents easy access and immersion in warm water within 60 seconds. Our spa rooms include a relaxing color scheme, aromatherapy diffusers, and music. Residents enjoy the relaxing and positive effects of a warm bath in a room that is designed for a complete mind, body and soul renewal.

Music Therapy
Music is used to increase or maintain levels of physical, mental, social and emotional functioning. Professionally trained Music Therapists are brought in on a regular basis to lead groups. Much of the scheduled entertainment is focused on music residents used to listen to and get great enjoyment from hearing again. Music is a big part of life for everyone at Marianwood.
Massage
Regular massage treatments improve our residents' physical, emotional and psychological well-being. Licenced masseuses that have experience with the elderly and their special needs, provide this valuable service.
Pet Therapy
We have several live-in cats and welcome visiting pets. Studies have shown real health benefits from pet therapy: reduced stress levels, lower blood pressure and better mental health. At Marianwood, pet therapy has been an integral part of our culture for many years.
