Seniors in assisted living and retirement communities no doubt look forward to getting outside in the summer and pursuing their favorite activities and hobbies. Senior care experts note there are five ways for seniors of all ages and mobility status to enjoy summertime. Here are the favorite activities that can liven up the daily routine both outdoors and indoors:
- Art & Photography
- Birdwatching
- In-room Gardening
- Online Games
- Virtual Travel
There are significant benefits to these senior hobbies. They’re easy to do and stress-free. They enhance and maintain cognitive function. By stimulating the senses, they help reduce anxiety and depression. Equally important is they provide an outlet for imagination and creativity.
These senior-friendly activities also help build relationships among residents and encourage shared interests.
You’re Entitled to Better Benefits
Here at Council of Seniors, we understand how important it is to get Congress to pass The SAVE Benefits Act. You need this bill to make up for inadequate annual Social Security cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) paid out over a series of recent years. If it passes, you’ll be reimbursed the $581 that should have been included to keep up with inflation all along.
Sign our petition right away to get started helping us show Congress how many Americans of all ages support this bill. We’ll greatly appreciate your participation in returning this money to seniors.
We’d love for you to connect with us on Facebook and Twitter!
