There is no shortage of fun, engaging things to do at The Arbors and The Ivy Assisted Living Communities. We believe in creating an engaging, stimulating environment that benefits our residents’ mind, body, and soul. We promote a lifestyle of health and wellness with programs that benefit brain health, physical fitness, and more.
The Importance of Senior Living Activities
Human beings are highly social creatures. We don’t thrive in isolation. Days spent with others and filled with stimulating activities and programs provide purpose to our residents. We make developing and maintaining a strong network of friends a priority.
Staying active and social plays a crucial role in maintaining both mental and physical health for seniors. Engaging in social interactions and group activities can reduce feelings of loneliness and depression while improving cognitive function. These connections create a sense of belonging, joy, and an enriched life.
Recreational Activities for Seniors in Assisted Living
We strive to promote a fun, uplifting atmosphere that promotes resident engagement. Our residents enjoy a wide array of daily activities, including:
- Bowling
- Movie nights
- Shopping outings
- Bus trips
- Live music
- Crafts
- Games
- Senior wellness programs
- Workout classes
- Yoga, Tai Chi, and meditation
- Gardening
- Dancing
Most importantly, residents can enjoy the company and companionship of neighbors, friends, and family in our cozy living rooms, pubs, libraries, private dining rooms, and sunrooms. Volunteer and community-led programs are also scheduled throughout the month, with offerings varying by location. A full calendar of events is issued monthly.
Engaging Memory Care Programming
Mentally challenging activities, such as learning a new skill, adopting a new hobby, or engaging in formal education, may have short- and long-term benefits. Our memory care program is designed to engage the brain.
Activities may include:
- Music therapy
- Art projects
- Reminiscence storytelling
- Guided puzzles and games
- Sensory experiences
- Group discussions and social hours
Activities stimulate memory, foster social connections, and encourage creativity. By focusing on meaningful tasks, we create an environment where residents feel valued and supported.
