Getting older can make certain things more difficult, like getting around and being active. However, that doesn’t mean that older adults can’t still do things that they enjoy. There are plenty of great opportunities for older adults to stay engaged and have a good time in the process.

At Celebrate Senior Living a 501(c)3 non-profit, we understand the importance of having a variety of activities for seniors. That is why we offer daily activities such as morning fitness classes, weekly events that include outings to restaurants and shopping, and monthly social events.

Six of The Best Activities for Senior Citizens

Join a Club – Joining a club is a great way for older adults to stay active and enjoy their favorite things. There are many different types of clubs, including reading, running, gardening, birdwatching, gaming, and more. Whatever your interest is, odds are that there are other people who share it and who would love to create a club to enjoy it with others.
Group Exercise – Another great activity for seniors is group exercise. This can include many different things, such as group exercise classes like Jazzercise, yoga, or tai chi; playing sports with others, like golf, tennis, horseshoes, and croquet; or spending time outdoors hiking, walking, swimming, and more.
Get Creative – Older adults can also get creative and take part in arts and crafts as a fun activity. Consider starting to paint, crocheting, learning to draw, or even start writing. You could even write down your life story and what you want your legacy to be. However you choose to be creative, it can be a great outlet that helps you tell a story and express how you feel.
Game Night – Many senior living communities hold game nights for residents, but consider taking game night into your own hands. You can build puzzles, play board games or cards, or even get involved with video games. It’s always fun to switch things up and learn how to play new things!
Take Classes – Another great activity for older adults includes taking continuing education courses. Even if you don’t actually enroll in a course, you can still learn new skills and information online. You can learn a new language, take photography courses, learn how to play an instrument, and more. Then, you can share what you’ve learned with your friends and family, so even more people can enjoy it.
Outings and Excursions – Other fun activities include going out on outings and excursions. This includes going to concerts, plays, museums, sporting events, movies, and more. It can also be a great way to experience new things that you might not have before. It also provides a great bonding experience for you and the rest of your group.

 A friend of mine found Celebrate Senior Living for me after touring multiple Independent Living facilities. I eventually transitioned to Skilled Nursing here at Celebrate and I like that I didn't have to leave this community. I've been in skilled nursing for about 5 years now. Since I cannot walk, they have helped me with a lot. The nurses are great! They are truly wonderful!
I am currently doing therapy 3 times a week and they are wonderful and nice to work with.
I really enjoy the chef's salad and the best part is that you can order it for any meal.
I've found my best friend here, Beth! We spend every afternoon together catching up in the parlor.

 Visited this facility during their annual easter event and it was a great experience!  We loved that the easter bunny made an appearance as well to take family photos! They even brought real bunnies and the kids were able to pet them. Super cute! Great place to have an Easter egg hunt, it was super spacious. The facility was nice and everyone there was super friendly  ☺️

 We had the pleasure of attending their annual Easter Egg Hunt and we had such a good time, despite the terrible weather! My kids definitely enjoyed hunting for eggs, especially the Golden ones. They had a variety of treats and hot drinks and everyone was so welcoming, from the residents to the staff. They also had an Easter Bunny so the little ones were able to get some pictures with the Easter Bunny. I highly recommend everyone to attend next year! Overall, we had a great time and looking forward to next year’s Easter Egg Hunt.

 Therapy and rehab on my hip and back have been going great.  The therapists I have are very knowledgeable and caring and although it will take me a few months for me to feel much better, the progress I’m making with them has been extremely helpful.

 All the therapists in this facility have been very encouraging and supportive on my journey to assisted living. They opened a whole new world of possibilities, challenges, and goals which I thought I could never achieve, but I did and much more than I could ever expect. When I was learning to climb stairs, the therapist taught me techniques to do so, I trusted the therapist and said, "let's do it!" That's been my mantra ever since. Now, I can climb a while flight of stairs. Through the exercises, I'm getting stronger! Assisted living has become a reality for me only because of my therapist's hard work and faith in me. May God reward all of you for all you have done for me and continue to do for me.

 I have been living in this house since February 2022. My apartment fully meets all my needs. The food prepared for residents is very diverse and tasty. The cooks and waiters are polite, patient and friendly. All staff, from directors to maintenances and cleaners is very professional, attentive and caring. I can confidently recommend this house for comfortable stay to every person.

 So many people who work there show the utmost compassion and caring for my father who is a resident there - if I have questions they look to find the answers- if I have needs they look to fulfill them- I feel like it is family every time I go there -
