When people hear “life enrichment activities” for seniors, they sometimes think of semi-catatonic old folks huddled around a puzzle eating Jell-O. At Danbury, life enrichment is built to empower seniors to live their lives to the fullest, to cultivate joy, delight, hope, laughter, and curiosity, to strengthen their bodies and minds.
Sure, puzzles and Jell-O are great, but that’s not all there is to life, and that certainly isn’t all there is to life enrichment.
Betterment, Not Busy Work
The objective of life enrichment isn’t to keep people busy while they wait for the end of their lives.
Life enrichment at Danbury is designed to provide seniors opportunities to live a full and rich life, day in and day out. All of the activities that seniors said they’d get to when they retire are waiting for them in senior living, from fine dining to field trips to simply relaxing and enjoying the finer things in life.
Diverse Activities Designed to Enrich the Body, Mind, and Spirit
In order to be healthy and thrive, we all need to invest time and energy into the wellbeing of our whole person, body, mind, and heart. This means caring for our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
Life enrichment at Danbury is designed to offer a balanced agenda of activities that don’t neglect or over-emphasize any one aspect of health.
While crafting brings some people lots of pleasure and joy, we all know that one guy who would never be caught dead sprinkling glitter onto a styrofoam plate. Life enrichment directors at each of our communities take the interests and passions of our residents into consideration when they design their programming.
Residents can participate in chair yoga, backyard barbecues, crafts, billiards, card tournaments, auctions, live music, volunteer events, gardening, floral arranging, outings to local museums and zoos, and more, all with the intention of cultivating healthy relationships and full spirits.
