An Active Senior Community Lifestyle

It's always fun to learn new skills or engage in new pastimes. At Avamere Rehab of Clackamas in Gladstone, we're all about supplying a broad variety of activities for senior citizens and offering them abundant opportunities to meet new people and connect with their loved ones.

While socialization is critical for all people, regardless of age, seniors can be more susceptible to isolation. Many seniors have spent a considerable portion of their lives in the company of others – be it in the workplace or raising children – and upon reaching retirement age the opportunities for socialization often decrease, especially if the senior must rely on others for transportation.

But research has indicated that an active social lifestyle is more important than ever in helping seniors maintain a sharp mind, remain connected to the world around them, increase feelings of happiness, and develop a sense of belonging, so we provide ample opportunities for senior activity and social interaction.

For example:

• Classes in painting, crochet, collage, sculpturing, and many other handicrafts
• A wide variety of special religious programs, meditation and prayer.
• Note: we believe one's religious beliefs are of individual concern and all beliefs are respected by our staff.
• Trivia sessions, word puzzles and other fun activities to challenge the mind
• Performances by talented entertainers from the broader community.
• Fun matinee movies with freshly popped popcorn.

These activities, and many more, allow our residents to come together with friends and families, make new friends, celebrate life, and most importantly enjoy life in a senior community!
