At Springpoint, we believe that wellness goes hand in hand with recreation. Through our award-winning LivWell wellness program and diverse calendar of activities, we’re proud to offer therapeutic recreation for seniors that’s both meaningful and enriching.
In honor of National Therapeutic Recreation Week (July 6th–12th), we’re highlighting the essential role of purposeful activities in promoting healthy living and overall well-being. Across our Life Plan Communities, therapeutic recreation empowers residents to live with purpose, stay socially connected, and maintain their independence.
What Is Therapeutic Recreation?
Therapeutic recreation is a holistic approach to wellness that uses engaging activities to support physical, cognitive, and emotional function. For older adults, these activities can include:
- Art and music therapy
- Gardening and nature walks
- Chair yoga and balance classes
- Memory games and fitness programs
- Social clubs and community events
The ultimate goal is to help residents maintain independence and promote healthy aging by sparking creativity, building social connections, and maintaining health and wellness.
The Power of Purposeful Activities
At Springpoint, every program is designed with intention. Whether it’s painting in an art studio, participating in a fitness class, or gardening with your friends, these experiences create opportunities for self-expression and joy.
More importantly, these activities support cognitive health by keeping the brain stimulated and the body moving. Residents are encouraged to explore new interests, challenge themselves, and continue to grow.
Personalized Engagement Through LivWell
Our LivWell program takes senior engagement a step further. LivWell offers a personalized approach to wellness, and each resident’s goals, preferences, and needs are considered when planning recreational opportunities.
From lifelong learning classes to strength and balance exercises, LivWell ensures that every resident has access to activities that make sense for them. It’s not just about staying busy, it’s about staying fulfilled.
Creating a Culture of Connection
One of the greatest benefits of therapeutic recreation is its ability to foster connection. In our Life Plan Communities, residents form meaningful relationships through shared experiences. Whether it’s a daily walking group or an afternoon of friendly competition at game night, these moments of engagement strengthen community bonds and combat isolation.
Celebrating Therapeutic Recreation Week
During National Therapeutic Recreation Week, we’re celebrating the engaging activities that help our residents maintain independence, support well-being, and enhance both functional and cognitive abilities. At Springpoint, we’re proud to offer therapeutic recreation for seniors that enriches lives and supports whole-person wellness.
