At Marquette, a vibrant senior living community in Indianapolis, we believe that growing older means opening the door to new adventures. Your 70s and beyond can be among the most active, fulfilling years of your life — and staying engaged is the key. Whether you’re focused on wellness, creativity, or social connection, Marquette offers a variety of activities for aging adults to help you live fully in mind, body, and spirit. 

Why Staying Active Matters for Seniors 

Maintaining an active lifestyle isn’t just fun — it’s essential for long-term health and independence. At Marquette, we’ve built a senior living experience around opportunities that help you: 

  • Improve strength, balance, and flexibility 
  • Boost cognitive function and memory retention 
  • Strengthen emotional well-being and relationships 
  • Find purpose through connection and community 

These are more than just benefits — they’re pillars of a vibrant life. And at Marquette, you’ll find hundreds of things for seniors to do each week that support healthy aging and joyful living. 

Wellness at Your Doorstep 

As a Life Plan Community, Marquette offers comprehensive programming and outstanding senior amenities that make it easy to stay active every day — whether you’re continuing a wellness routine or exploring something new.

Staying active goes beyond movement. At Marquette, we offer intellectually and creatively stimulating options that encourage lifelong learning and curiosity:
