Assisted Living home activities in Chandler, AZ

One of the best ways to improve quality of life for those in Assisted Living is through activities.  At Blue Sky Assisted Living in Chandler, AZ we take great interest in keeping our residents active.  It takes a lot of education and training to know how to effectively engage the different minds in a elderly home.  We just want to share a little of our experience and what activities seem to be the most successful.

For those that are very mentally alert and aware Bingo seems to be a favorite especially if there are good prices.  There are also other card games, board games, crossword puzzles and crafts that can engage keep minds sharp.  With this group of residents they can also give a lot of input of what they enjoy and can even offer suggestions.

We mostly get asked about those with moderate to advanced Alzheimer’s or dementia how to keep them active.  We like to go for morning walks or have outdoor time so they can enjoy nature and fresh air.  Many of these people would not ask to go outside so we make it a priority to schedule daily outdoor time.  Music is also great for those who may not be able to actively engage.  We have a piano that musicians and volunteers will come play. We will also have sing along time where musical therapist will come and sing some of the old tunes that are familiar.  Some of our music time includes listening to CDs designed for Alzheimer’s patients and are the older songs played slowly and repetitively so that by the end the residents are joining in the signing.

At Blue Sky Assisted Living in Chandler, AZ we enjoy seeing the smiles and enriching the lives of our residents.  We are constantly researching and studying the type of activities that are enjoyed as well as enrich the lives of our residents.
