At Solstice Senior Living in Sandy Utah there is always something to do. And the smiles and laughter is something that is always in abundance. I never want to hear the words "I'm bored" or "There's nothing to do" from our residents. As the activities director it is my job to make sure that our residents are living a fun and active lifestyle.
Each month, we celebrate a different country. Learning about their culture, food and traditions. And then we sprinkle in other activities to keep them moving, laughing, engaging with each other and our wonderful staff. Here are a few activities our residents enjoy, and we are always adding as new ideas come along.
*Manicures
*Daily Exercise with live instructors and engaging videos.
*Bar-B-Ques
*Bingo
*Car Shows
*Food Demonstrations and opportunities to discover new flavors.
*Birthday Celebrations, because all birthdays are important and worthy of celebrating.
*Poker Club.
*Lunch outings to explore and try new local restaurants.
* Our Sit and Stitch Club. Creating beautiful handmade blankets that are generously donated to a local Children's Hospital.
* Want to learn how to dance or just need a refresher course. Join our dancing club led by one of our residents.
*Weekly scenic rides to explore our beautiful surroundings.
*Ladies Day Out. Lunch and shopping with your friends.
* Guys Day Out. Movies and lunch. I'm sure they do other things as well. But they won't let me go because I'm a girl🤣
*Weekly shopping trips to pick up those essentials, we all need, or maybe just to browse.
* Sing alongs filled with favorite songs that bring back loving memories.
* Wii Bowling is always a hit.
*Painting and Craft Classes.
*Board games and cards.
*Trivia and Word games.
* Gardening in our beautiful backyard, where you can always find a few ducks swimming in the pond, an occasional mother deer and a baby laying under a shade tree or the squirrels that love to run from tree to tree and sometimes peek into our office windows.
*Friday Happy Hour. We have live music, refreshing drinks and snacks. A great place to show off those dancing skills that you learned at dance class.
Come visit us sometime at solstice, senior living. I guarantee your toes will be tapping, and your fingers will be snapping. Take a tour, stay for a wonderful meal prepared by Chef Mitch and his staff.
Every activity is more than just something to do, it's an opportunity to make connections, create friendships, learn something new, give back to our community and make memories together.
We are incredibly grateful for our wonderful residents and the energy, laughter, talents and stories they bring to our community each day.
