Great Activities Enrich Our Residents' Lives
As Life Enrichment Supervisor I have the ability to make a direct impact on the quality of life our residents receive and the creativity to improvise programs that will champion our residents' quality of life through individual, tailored activities that match their hobbies and interests. Residents try new things, going out on outings and reminiscing about them later, enjoying each other and having fun. Engaging with our residents daily helps to create meaning to their day, giving them joy and balance of life.
The activity calendar has a variety of events and programs that challenges seven important qualities in our lives. We make sure every resident has an opportunity to be physically active, as well as intellectually stimulated and encouraged to explore their creativity. We incorporate social gatherings, we have spiritual meetings and have balanced the emotional side of life in their daily care. We also include intergenerational activities as well. Our activities are resident driven. We care about what is important to each person and include some of his or her interests in each program offered. In doing so, we have balanced the seven layers of activities.
Please send your email address so we can send updates of the activity calendar and pictures of your family members engaging in life enrichment activities.
