Golden Moment’s Active Day Program

Daily Living at Golden Moments Care Home 


 

Energy, enthusiasm, companionship and creativity are blended each day at Golden Moments

Activities of all types are needed to keep the mind and body as healthy as possible which is why we have a very active day program. Varied activities also helps to facilitate regular communication which is necessary for both cognitive wellness and the innate need of socialization.

All Residents are in the living areas of the home throughout the day, and are routinely encouraged to express their inner passions.

Typical activities include making music, singing, cooking, gardening, twice daily exercise fitness circle, stretching, walks, arts & crafts, painting, and woodwork, ring/balloon/bean-bag toss, word puzzles, Games (Uno, Checkers, Jenga, Wii, Cards, Headbands, Hangman, and many more); reminisce and discussion are the focus of each day.

Entertainers and children are frequent visitors. Our house pet is a small terrier fellow named Whiskey, who pops around and visits the Residents regularly throughout the day.

Golden Moments is completely furnished and ready for you to move in. However, if you have a favorite chair, art work, or lawn art, please bring it with you. We want your transition to be as smooth as possible and we will work diligently to assure this.

After all, this is your home and we are totally committed to serve you and your wishes.
