Craft & Vendor Fair at The Scottish Home

On October 17th from 9 am to 2 pm, The Scottish Home will be holding a craft and vendor fair for residents and their families!  Everyone is welcome to this fun-filled event and guests are encouraged to purchase a table beforehand.  At The Scottish Home, we had a fun summer with our residents partaking in a number of activities.  We are looking forward to a fun-filled fall with plenty of autumn-inspired events.

The importance of special events throughout the year is important to the happiness of residents in nursing homes.  Helping residents cope with aging into long-term facility care can be challenging for everyone involved including residents, families and even nursing home employees.  A poor adjustment can lead to health problems and a diminishing quality of life.  One way that The Scottish Home helps adjust residents is with social interactions through activities and events.

Activities play an important role in helping residents of all physical abilities live as fully as possible.  They should be designed to fit resident preferences and needs as well as engage the body and mind.  Studies show that a mixture of physical activity, intellectual challenge, socialization and spirituality can help add to a fulfilling life.  At The Scottish Home, we are proud to offer assisted living and nursing care to residents of need.  With all of our residents, we encourage physical activities and social events.

Autumn-inspired crafts are a wonderful way to get seniors involved.  The Craft & Vendor Fair on October 17th will feature handmade items and crafting tools to connect residents and their families.  This is the perfect opportunity to create something special to decorate your living space this Halloween!
