Fall is one of our favorite times of the year, and for good reason. The cooler, crisp air and vibrant colors of changing leaves create a sensory-rich environment that our Anthem Memory Care community residents truly enjoy. Walks outdoors become more comfortable, and the familiar sights, sounds, and smells of autumn often spark memories and emotional connections.
The anticipation of upcoming holiday routines and traditions is both grounding and uplifting for residents. Our communities are already buzzing with preparation for seasonal activities, most of which also include family members. These activities never fail to strengthen bonds, creating many shared moments of joy.
Here are just a few of the fall activities we’re enjoying so far:
