February Update – Baking, Music and Exercise

Hope you have all had a great February. Here are some things that we did:

Baking with Betty!

Old age doesn’t mean you need to give up on doing the things you love. Far from it, older ones feel a sense of accomplishment and joy when they do tasks that they enjoyed doing before.
We recognize that this is a way of dignifying them and showing them that their talents and love matters.
Have you seen pictures from a talent show we had for them? You can see it here: https://www.legacyplace.org/senior-care/appreciating-the-skills-of-our-dear-elderly-ones/

Exercise can be fun!

Getting up the energy and the motivation to exercise can be difficult for older ones. So our carers and activity coordinator put on their thinking caps and have come up with some interesting ways to make this fun for everyone.

Geri loves music

Can you see the absolute joy on her face!! Geri loves music as do many in our home. 🎶

Music is crucial for seniors. It has proved to have cognitive, emotional, and physical health benefits, including enhanced memory, reduced stress, and increased social connection. Engaging with music lowers cortisol, improves mood, and can stimulate brain function in patients with dementia.
