Senior Assisted Living
Activities At New Day Cottages
At New Day Cottages, residents should be engaged with fun and interactive senior activities throughout the day in many different aspects of their lives: Physical, Emotional, Purposeful, Social, Intellectual, and Spiritual.
That’s why we have a variety of activities on the calendar and encourage residents and families to engage in moments that are not on the calendar. For instance, we have an exercise class (physical) on the calendar Monday through Friday mornings. Still, we encourage our residents to walk on the sidewalks around our house to maintain their mobility and get some fresh air and some warm sunshine.
Socializing Activities
We have “Koffee Klutch,” “Gazebo Gab Session,” and “Table Talk” (emotional) to assist our residents with getting to know each other better. Still, we also encourage them to talk together over meals or a jigsaw puzzle.
Gardening Activities
We have a raised bed in the courtyard (purposeful) where the residents, staff, and families plant herbs and vegetables. This allows them to water the plants throughout the summer and see the “fruits” of their labor (or should we say “vegetables?!”) as well as use the garden in our home-cooked meals.
Games and Parties
Games of all kinds, crafts, birthday/ holiday parties, and a variety of music, as well as family barbecues on Memorial Day, 4th of July. Labor Day (social) allows our residents to have fun, rekindle old hobbies, make new memories with family members, and reminisce while they enjoy their favorite music.
Group Outings
We also go out to the Garden of the Gods, Fox Run Park, high school and community theater performances, a trip to the mountains to see the fall leaves, a tour of neighborhood Christmas lights, and much more.
Library Van
The Pikes Peak Library Van comes monthly to both houses (intellectual), allowing residents to borrow books, magazines, movies, and music for a longer period than they would go to the library. The Library staff also engages the residents in various trivia games, stimulating their long-term memory and increasing brain function.
Religion Activities
Finally, we have monthly church services and Bible Study classes (spiritual) at both houses, as well as music groups/individuals that come in to play hymns and other Christian music.
