Weekend Activities

Beginning the first weekend in August, we are introducing our weekend activities program. We’ll now have activities seven days a week! You’ll see the added activities on this month’s calendar. This new program will also allow our Life Enrichment department to meet with more residents for individual activities each week. We look forward to providing more activities for our residents and creating a more engaging activities program.

Music Therapy Group, Thursdays at 10:30 am

Our Life Enrichment Director, Tori, is a board-certified Music Therapist. She has been doing music therapy sessions with our Memory Care unit since June. Beginning in August, she will be doing group sessions with our Assisted Living and Personal Care residents every week. These sessions will include sing-alongs, songwriting experiences, learning about different artists and genres, and various musical games. These activities address a variety of goals for our residents including socialization, physical movement, improving mood, processing emotions, and reminiscing.
