At our Anthem Memory Care communities, March has been a month filled with anticipation for spring, bringing a renewed sense of energy and connection. As we welcomed the changing season, residents embraced opportunities to celebrate the end of cold, snowy, windy days and the transition into brighter, warmer times ahead.
Throughout the month, our communities engaged in a variety of meaningful and purposeful activities. From community outreach projects that foster connection and a sense of giving, to enjoyable outings and simple, heartfelt moments of joy, each experience was designed to enrich daily life and create lasting memories.
Here are just a few of the projects and activities our residents have enjoyed together this month.
Morningside Place Memory Care (Overland Park, Kansas) held a special bake sale, inviting the greater community in for a variety of delicious, homemade cookies, baked by the residents, along with fresh lemonade.
Retired nurse and resident of Willowbrook Place Memory Care (Littleton, Colorado) conducted a class for fellow residents on health and wellness. So many residents have special skills and talents. Our communities make sure that they can continue to enjoy and share them with others.
