A community for seniors is a place that is characterized by offering comfortable and welcoming spaces. At the same time, their stay should be a stimulating and satisfying experience for them.
What is daily life like in these communities? Each resident wakes up in his or her personalized room, takes a bath, gets ready and goes to the restaurant for breakfast.
Then, there are main activities and others that they can choose. They are encouraged to have an active life and during each day they learn, live together and have a good time.
Senior living communities offer a range of engaging and stimulating activities for their residents; some of these include the following:
-Physical and cognitive exercises: these are not usually optional, but are performed by all residents to keep their bodies and minds active. They usually enjoy these exercise sessions.
-Handicrafts and painting: Are an opportunity to stimulate fine motor skills and creativity.
-Personal care sessions: like any person, older adults like to take care of their physical appearance and give maintenance to their hair, beard, eyebrows, etc. It is worth mentioning the case of the Verdeza Senior Community, which has a beauty salon/barbershop where its residents go to beautify themselves.
-Music evenings: In most cases, seniors love to enjoy hours of music, either for dancing or simply to accompany a glass of wine.
-Coffee afternoons: Coffee hour is special for seniors to share stories and insights while sipping aromatic coffee accompanied by snacks.
-Clubs: it is extremely beneficial for them to have the opportunity to group according to their common tastes.
It should be noted that residents have the freedom and autonomy to leave the community or residence and visit their loved ones and often receive visits from them as well.
