Celebrating Life By Doug Potts, Arbor Administrator

T

he United States has many traditional, fun and sometimes bizarre daily celebrations. Some of the newer ones include National GoofOff Day, Hug a Caregiver Day, Fat Tuesday and National Potato Chip Day. There is even a Peanut Butter Lover’s Appreciation Day! At Shell Point, assisted living residents embrace the opportunity for celebration. Each building observes many traditional events, from St. Patrick’s Day and Arbor Day to the Super Bowl, as well as other activities specific to the community like the recent Shell Point Games. In fact, that’s one of the many things to love about assisted living at Shell Point: how much more active and engaged these residents are when compared to other retirement communities! Assisted living residents can be spotted all over the campus, involved in various programs, competitions, classes and shows, or enjoying special events or celebrations right in their buildings. For more physically active residents, there is pickleball, aquatics, zumba, jazzercise and monthly bus outings to one of Southwest Florida’s many restaurants or shopping centers. Competitive residents also enjoy numerous game nights, including brain dusters, cranium crunch, card games, bingo, Wii golf and bowling, and jigsaw puzzles with friends. There are also a multitude of activities offered each month that are designed to stimulate the creative side of assisted living residents, such as music programs, educational seminars, or arts and crafts projects. As you can see, no matter what you choose to celebrate or what goal you may tackle, there are many opportunities in assisted living to participate and enjoy life!
