Life Enrichment
Life Enrichment Activities are how we keep residents active and engaged and can be highly beneficial for individuals with memory challenges. Encore Communities has a variety of group activities planned every day. Depending on the resident’s abilities, these may include:
Music Therapy
Music therapy sessions, where residents listen to and participate in music-making, can evoke emotions, improve mood, and even stimulate memories.
Art and Craft Workshops
Creative activities like painting, drawing, or crafting can provide a therapeutic outlet for residents. These activities stimulate the senses, encourage self-expression, and offer a sense of accomplishment.
Reminiscence Therapy
Reminiscence activities involve discussing past experiences and memories, using artifacts, photos, or themed discussions. This can help residents connect with their personal histories, share stories, and foster a sense of identity.
Gardening and Nature Activities
Engaging with nature through gardening activities can be therapeutic for individuals in memory care. Creating accessible gardens or organizing outdoor nature walks provides residents with a sensory-rich experience.
Exercise and Movement Classes
Physical activity is important for both physical and mental well-being. Tailored exercise classes, such as chair yoga, gentle stretching, or dance, can be adapted to the residents’ abilities.
Regent Court Events
In addition to ongoing weekly activities, we proudly offer a year-round calendar of fun and engaging special events, most of which are open to the public. These provide opportunities for socializing with friends from the surrounding area, enhance social connections, and contribute to Encore’s reputation for creating a vibrant lifestyle that our guests and their families love.
Vintage car shows, Hawaiian luaus, Christmas parties, and Father’s Day BBQs are just a few examples of how we showcase our unique character and spirit.
