Why host social gatherings? 

Elderly residents in long-term care homes, particularly those who experience memory decline and physical mobility difficulties, are often socially isolated. To help them improve their emotional, social, and intellectual wellness, we visit these centers and bond with these residents through recreational group and individual activities. We engage with residents of various dementia stages.

Some of these activities include playing board games, having conversations, engaging in sing-alongs, creating arts and crafts, and playing with 3D-printed building blocks together. We also utilize iN2L, a wellness-focused digital platform, to provide a range of evidence-based recreational activities. Although these are simple pleasures, providing companionship can truly make a difference in these individuals' worlds as it creates a welcoming space for self-expression and purpose.
