January Recap:

The residents welcomed in the New Year with a variety of activities. “Take a Stand” exercises was a new activity that we introduced and was well received by the residents. These exercises gave residents more one on one time with the instructor than a conventional exercise program. The residents were able to gain more confidence with stability by holding on to a chair.

The treasure chest donated by the Pioneer Library gave our residents a new idea for an activity which will be offered in February. The treasure chest contains vintage items that the residents can look at and reminisce about. The residents suggested that they share their own “treasures” with other residents leading to the creation of a new activity called “Attic Treasures”. Elaine is always looking for new activity ideas and is always open to suggestions!
