Life Enrichment
At The Gardens it is important for us to offer life enrichment programs to our residents. Life enrichment programs help residents become involved in enjoyable activities every day. Having activities that suit your loved one’s lifestyle and interests is essential to their overall quality of life. Staying active, preserving cognitive health and creating social connections helps to aid in healing and overall health.
Our Life Enrichment team provides a variety of activities which allow our residents to come together with others, make new friends, celebrate the seasons and most importantly enjoy life in a community! With indoor and outdoor activities such as Bingo, regular outings in the community, pet therapy and art & crafts our residents have a variety of activities to choose from.
Staying Active
Staying active is essential to healthy aging. Staying active can help residents manage medical conditions, maintain healthy bones, muscles, joints and staying active can also aid in gaining or extending independence.
Social Connections
It can be challenging for seniors to stay socially active, especially after a major health event. Life enrichment programs with a social focus, such as those in a group setting, can help our residents foster connections with those around them and aid in emotional health.
Musical Events
We have frequent musical acts such as Elvis and Hawaiian music for our residents to enjoy while they have treats and enjoy a social interaction.
Outings
Our team plans a variety of outings to help our residents feel like they are still part of the community while they continue to heal. Outings include trips to the store, local fairs and community events.
Arts & Crafts
Our create Life Enrichment team develops a variety of projects to offer our residents. Whether they are crafting, painting or enjoying holiday projects it is our goal that each resident is able to unwind from the stressors of recovery.

There are numerous benefits that can be gained including, increased self-esteem and confidence, improved social skills, reduced risk of depression, lessened levels of anxiety, reduced feelings of loneliness and an increased ability to show gentleness and caring.
