The winter season has arrived, and for most of us, it means we will be spending more time indoors. Because it can be challenging – and dangerous—for older adults to get outside when the weather is cold, it’s important that your senior loved one finds ways to stay active indoors during the winter months.
At Vista Grande Villa, we have a full calendar of events and indoor activities so that residents can beat winter boredom while staying physically active, mentally sharp, and socially engaged. Here are a few fun indoor activities to enjoy throughout the winter season.
Fun Indoor Activities for Older Adults
At Vista Grande Villa, our community is designed to help seniors get through the colder months with ease. Our residents benefit from a wide range of activities and amenities without ever stepping foot outside.
Get active.
Everyone can benefit from increased physical activity during the winter months—seniors included. Staying physically active in your golden years offers many benefits including increased strength and mobility, improved mood, and better overall health and quality of life. At Vista, we encourage our residents’ physical wellness through cardio, strength training, and balance and coordination classes. And if the weather is cooperating, residents can always take a stroll outdoors on our beautifully landscaped walking paths.
Engage with neighbors and friends.
Winter can be a lonely season, especially for seniors. One of the greatest benefits of residing in a senior living community is that residents can form deep connections with older adults in their same season of life. Seniors at Vista Grande Villa love our tight-knit community and have endless opportunities to connect over shared activities and events. Here are just a few of the ways our residents spend time together at Vista:
- Resident-designed and focused clubs, groups, and committees
- Community outings
- Volunteer opportunities
- Book clubs
- Happy hours
- Group fitness classes
- Game nights
- And more!
Discover a new hobby or pursue an old interest.
Lifelong learning doesn’t end when you retire. Take advantage of the extra time indoors to purse new hobbies or old interests. At Vista Grande Villa, our on-site programs and activities are designed to connect residents with their passions. Residents can explore a variety of hobbies easily through our on-site planned activities, such as creative arts, woodworking, educational seminars, college classes, musical and cultural events, and more!
While the winter season may prevent you from getting outdoors, there are plenty of ways for seniors to stay active and engaged at Vista Grande Villa. Whether it’s taking a group fitness class, joining a book club with neighbors, or picking up a new hobby, like baking or knitting, the winter season is the perfect time to explore new activities and interests!
