At Lighthouse on Florence Memory Care in Brighton, we believe that joy is ageless. Summer offers the perfect opportunity to bring a little extra brightness into the lives of our residents through engaging, lighthearted activities that stimulate the senses, encourage movement, and promote connection. Here in Brighton, CO, our memory care assisted living community is always looking for new ways to keep spirits high and smiles wide.
Here are a few favorite seasonal activities that are fun, safe, and perfectly suited to seniors of all abilities:
- Backyard Water Balloon Toss Nothing says summer like a splash of cool water and a lot of laughter. A gentle water balloon toss is a great way for residents to enjoy some light physical activity, hand-eye coordination, and a bit of friendly competition. We ensure a safe, shaded area with seating options for those who prefer to watch and cheer.
- Creative Garden Time From planting flowers to decorating garden stones, time in the garden provides tactile stimulation, a sense of accomplishment, and a peaceful connection to nature. Residents can help water plants, pick herbs, or simply sit and enjoy the outdoors in our secure courtyard.
- Mocktail & Fruit Beverage Socials Refreshing drinks with fresh fruit, herbs, and sparkling water are a huge hit during warm afternoons. Our staff hosts mocktail socials where residents can mix their own creations or enjoy beautifully presented refreshments while listening to music and engaging in conversation.
- Picnic Lunches on the Patio A change of scenery can brighten the day. Our team organizes picnic-style lunches with classic summer fare, music, and even themed decorations to create a fun and festive dining experience right in our backyard.
- Light Lawn Games Activities like ring toss, bean bag toss, and oversized checkers offer low-impact fun for all skill levels. These games help promote gentle movement and social interaction, with plenty of encouragement from staff and fellow residents.
Each of these activities is designed to be adaptable, inclusive, and enjoyable. At Lighthouse on Florence, we know that meaningful engagement plays a vital role in memory care, enhancing well-being and creating cherished moments.
