Seniors For Living

While Bingo still remains a highly popular activity in senior living communities, there is certainly much more on senior living social calendars these days besides this favorite pastime.

At Brookdale Senior Living communities across the country, you’ll find activities like dances, pizza parties, tennis, book clubs, talent shows, poetry readings, Wii sports and video games, cooking classes, holiday celebrations, ice cream socials, exercise, fitness, and wellness classes, and more.

Located in South Windsor, Connecticut, The Village at Buckland Court (a Benchmark Senior Living community) is a pet-friendly facility that has its own art gallery for resident use, offers cultural programs, book discussions, educational seminars, concerts, specialized computer activities, yoga and meditation, personal wellness services, support groups, religious/spiritual programs, community celebrations, and a host of other opportunities for dynamic resident engagement.

Brightview Senior Living operates independent living, assisted living and Alzheimer’s care communities in 9 different states. The calendar at Brightview White Marsh, an assisted living/Alzheimer’s care community near Baltimore, Maryland, features such programs as community service projects, crossword puzzles/word games, garden clean-up, volleyball, wine & cheese socials, current events, Men’s Club, scrapbooking, karaoke, horseshoes, and a host of others, including Bingo.

Whether you choose independent living, assisted living, Alzheimer’s care, or some other type of senior living home, clearly you’ll never have an excuse for being bored.
