Fitness Programs
It is easy to want to cozy up in a blanket in the wintertime. However, fitness and exercise are important all year long. We provide an array of fitness programs, including aerobics, walking, yoga, and even weight training. Our staff is licensed and experienced in many forms of fitness.
Online Church
Regardless of your loved one’s beliefs, many churches are offering online religious services. Experiencing spiritual and religious activities allows everyone to connect with God, reflect on gratitude, socialize with others who share the same beliefs, and spend time with family.
Zoom Calls
Not everyone at our senior care center has the opportunity to get out. The current COVID-19 pandemic has limited access in and out of the facility. In an effort to help seniors stay engaged with family and friends, we have created Zoom meetings. These are online video chats that allow seniors to spend time with others online. Zoom technology is easy to use. However, our staff can set up meetings for seniors who do not know how to utilize technology.
Games
Regardless of age, everyone loves games. One of the most popular senior activities in winter is Bingo. This cherished game allows seniors to be social, provides healthy competition, and includes everyone. Nearly every senior and their family can play Bingo. Plus, there are awesome prizes in every game.
