Activities are more than just fun. An article published in iAdvance Senior Care in 2010 highlights the psychological advantages of activities in places like nursing homes and assisted living facilities. The author, a licensed psychologist, noted the following:
- Activities reverse the downward spiral of depression.
- Structured days are happier days.
- Activities become more important when all days are leisure days.
- Fostering relationships with other residents is part of successful activities.
Hearthside residents enjoy a wide range of activities, including:
- Seated Tai Chi classes
- Gardening with Elementary School “buddies”
- Sing-A-Long Sessions
- Field Trips (County Fair, Apple Picking Luncheon, Avery Square activities, etc)
