As you age, staying active and socially engaged can become difficult, especially if your mobility has decreased. Having a supportive network of friends, family, and medical professionals means you’ll receive encouragement and get to enjoy stimulating activities to maintain your well-being. At West Vue, the retirement community offers the following fun and rewarding activities to improve your quality of life at their two senior care facilities in West Plains, MO.

Retirement Community Living: 4 Activities to Enjoy

1. Arts & Crafts

Retirement CommunityWhether you’re a skilled artist or a budding beginner, painting is a wonderful way to relax and take stock of your surroundings. Additionally, you can take up scrapbooking, knitting, or any number of arts and crafts to expand your horizons.

2. Board Games & Cards

Playing board games you grew up with, like checkers, dominoes, Bingo, and chess, can offer a great opportunity to revisit happy memories from the past and make new ones with your friends. You can connect with seniors who share similar interests and have a good laugh during your gaming sessions.

3. Spiritual Activities

Nurturing your spiritual needs is just as important as your social and physical activities. Religious activities are available if you want to attend church and Bible study or sing and pray. Plus, you’ll meet a community of like-minded people who also value their connection with God.

4. Walking

Getting out in the fresh, open air will improve your mood and circulation and offer a nice change of scenery. Walking strengthens your bones and muscles and enhances your balance and coordination. Doing this activity with a group is a great way to stay up to date with the latest news and build friendships.
