Our senior care management company focuses heavily on enrichment activities, which are vital in helping to brighten the everyday experience for those residing in nursing homes and assisted living communities.

Enrichment activities for our residents are extremely important when it comes to:

• Preventing Isolation
  When our seniors are offered activities designed to promote interaction with others, they are likely to become more social. Facilitated activities increase interest and also create an advantage for those without any local friends or family. These opportunities, sometimes accompanied by light physical exercise, is a sure way to keep seniors active and healthy. Enrichment programs can enhance mental and emotional wellbeing, which is integral to a successful quality of life.


• Cognitive Engagement
  Our human brains are wired for creativity and learning. As our brains age, there are different synapses that stop working or begin working differently. Enrichment opportunities can assist with neuroplasticity and rewiring of the brain. For instance, a senior who has shown signs of situational depression since being moved to a Senior Living Facility may benefit from enrichment activities.


• Sensory and Physiological Benefits
  Our bodies thrive through sensory experiences! From the time we are born to the end of our lives, we are dependent on our senses.
  
  Any opportunity for our bodies to touch, see, taste, hear, or smell something will typically initiate a physiological response. During an enrichment activity, a senior may experience a pleasant memory while baking an old family recipe or may even begin to dance to a familiar tune. Not only can this stimulate emotions for what was, it’s likely to also spark hope for what is still possible regardless of one’s age.
