Finding ways to stay active does more than give you mental stimulation. It also can help prevent heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
That's why we host diverse senior events every single day at LakeHouse Manitowoc.
Curious to learn all about our engaging activities? Keep reading and we'll tell you about some of our most popular activities that you'll enjoy when you join our thriving community!
Of all our retirement events, few are as successful as our outings for a community shopping spree. We constantly change where we go, but the goals are always the same:
It's an event that allows our residents to engage in gentle exercise without it ever feeling like a chore. Residents reconnect with their local area while also growing closer with other residents of the community.
Plus, it gives our residents the chance to indulge in an independent stroll as they look for an item that sparks their interest. It's a win-win for everyone. Here at LakeHouse Manitowoc, we all adore outing day.
Do you love to read and wish you had others to talk to about your favorite parts of your most recent book? Have you ever wanted to join a book club but never had the chance before?
Even if it's not something you've thought about before, joining a book club gives you many benefits such as:
LakeHouse Manitowoc has a thriving book club that meets every two weeks. This gives seniors time to read the next book while still meeting often enough to encourage members to keep going if they're struggling with the material.
Don't worry. If reading physical books isn't your favorite way to consume written media, we also have elderly programs where we play audiobooks for a more relaxed reading experience.
The thrill that comes with a good game of Tenzi makes it the epitome of a powerful recreational activity. It brings friendly competitive fun while also aiding in motor control and hand dexterity.
What makes it even better is that it's a quick game, so residents have many chances to win against their opponents. However, since it's so quick, the bitterness of losing never has time to ruin the level of fun everyone has during the game.
Happy Hour is one of the best senior activities for increasing socialization. It presents an easy-to-start conversation outlet that can help put even the most socially anxious senior at ease.
It's an easygoing atmosphere that feels like a party without the hassle of needing to send out invitations or set up a lot of decorations and food.
Light music and snacks are available to help residents indulge even more in the happiness of Happy Hour. With different hosts every week, Happy Hour never feels stale even though it has an honored place on all of our activity calendars.
Trivia is an engaging way to learn new things while also recalling information you already know. It's not only a fun mental game, but it's also great for:
At LakeHouse Manitowoc, we often host trivia events so that our residents can engage in both the entertainment and the benefits of this kind of activity.
The joy of bowling and hitting the perfect strike never quite goes away, no matter how old we get. The problem is that sometimes it can be difficult to hoist the bowling ball and throw it without risk of harm.
Instead of ignoring this love for bowling, LakeHouse Manitowoc has the perfect solution to allow residents to bowl without dealing with heavy weights or slippery floors.
Wii Bowling gives residents all the bowling fun without any of the issues.
It's a physical activity that gets residents up and moving as they play, but the risk of injury is almost zero. The game may play out on a screen but the clever interactive controls help players feel immersed.
It can take a few tries to get into the groove, but once you do, Wii Bowling can deliver hours of bowling fun for everyone.
Going out for frequent walks gives seniors a chance to breathe in some fresh air and exercise their legs without it feeling like a true exercise. It can be a relaxing part of an active senior lifestyle that many look forward to participating in.
However, sometimes it's not easy to go on walks without a little encouragement.
That's why LakeHouse Manitowoc hosts group walks for the whole community to enjoy. When a person doesn't feel like they're walking alone, it's easier to engage in the exercise. Chatting with others during the walk also makes the entire process more playful and pleasurable.
When you search for community gatherings that can increase a senior's overall happiness, cookouts should always be on your radar. It's a fun way to interact with others while enjoying a special outdoor meal.
Getting together as a community for an outdoor event helps residents feel more like a family.
LakeHouse Manitowoc ensures that trained staff are nearby at all times so that the cooking part of the day is as safe as possible.
The best part is that the above senior events are only the beginning of what we offer at LakeHouse Manitowoc. We work hard to ensure that every week is filled with new and exciting things for our residents to enjoy.
