Carter Place's senior living events turn everyday moments into the building blocks of a real community, filling the lives of residents with purpose and fun. With exercise classes, parties, seminars, games, and frequent excursions, residents enjoy the very best Blair senior lifestyle.
According to Psychology Today, large-scale research shows that people tend to get happier as they age, with a study showing that happiness peaks at around 70. However, at Carter Place, we're determined that your life will continue to be full of joy and happiness long after you've reached your three score years and ten!
Nestled in picturesque Blair, Nebraska -- just north of Omaha -- Carter Place offers assisted living in a warm, friendly setting. Our community's programs are designed to promote independence, well-being, and genuine camaraderie through thoughtfully crafted senior community events and daily engagements.
What Are Fun Activities for Seniors?
Fun can mean different things to different people. That's why at Carter Place, we offer such a diverse array of activities in assisted living. We plan a varied calendar that is updated every month.
Fitness for Seniors
Healthy muscles, hearts, bones, and minds all rely on regular exercise. But don't worry, we don't expect you to start pumping iron. We provide regular exercise classes that are tailored to the needs of seniors.
You can even benefit from an armchair workout if that's more your pace. While exercising, you'll have a chance to bond with your fellow residents. Plus, as the Mayo Clinic points out, movement releases endorphins, which are feel-good chemicals that produce a natural high at any age.
Creative Expression
Many seniors would love to express their creative side, but until now have never had the chance! Craft and art workshops are the perfect chance to learn new skills, work with your hands, and enjoy good company.
Games and Puzzles
Whether you enjoy Uno, crossword puzzles, or Jeopardy, our activity calendar makes time for fun and games every day. A little bit of friendly rivalry adds a certain piquancy to life and helps cement fledgling friendships.
Social Gatherings and Parties
Life is to be celebrated. We schedule regular times to relax over coffee, cake, and more, and celebrate milestones and important events together.
Educational Seminars and Documentaries
According to Harvard Health, learning into old age promotes neuroplasticity. That's a technical way of saying that our brains remain active and can change and adapt as we age.
Educational talks, study sessions, and documentaries are a great way to keep our brains active. Remaining curious is vital to enjoying life, being surprised by new things, and embracing new ideas. At Carter Place Senior Living, we incorporate lots of opportunities to stretch your brain and make new connections.
The Benefit of Activities in Assisted Living
Each program offers a chance to stay active, socialize, and embrace a healthy routine. These social routines in retirement are crucial for reminding residents that they are part of something larger: a supportive community that thrives on participation, connection, and engagement in care.
What Is the Difference Between Senior Housing and Senior Living?
The terms may sound similar, but there are crucial differences. One of the key differences is how fun and enjoyable life in each one may prove to be!
Senior Housing
This typically refers to private residences that are specially designed for adults in their golden years. They are generally houses or apartments designed to be accessible and safe. However, they may offer limited amenities and additional services.
Senior Living
Senior living communities, like Carter Place, go much further. They provide thoughtfully designed accommodation and offer additional lifestyle features. These often include:
- Restaurant-style dining
- Housekeeping
- Wellness support
- Caretaker support
Most importantly for many residents, they provide opportunities to connect through senior living events. These are the perfect way to banish loneliness, reduce depression, and enjoy the best social life you've had in years.
How Senior Living Events Build Connection and Joy
No man or woman is an island, and seniors need social connections just as much, if not even more, than younger people. Our senior community events build beautiful connections and foster joy through:
- Purposeful engagement
- Shared routines
- Supportive environment
- Daily variety
The more you participate, the more fun you will have, and the deeper the bonds you will form with your fellow residents.
