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!
