Families and elderly patients are now opting to have residential care not just because of its state-of-the-art facilities and complete medical assistance but also because of the companionship it offers.

Many senior patients are not only limited to seeing their personal caregivers but they are given the chance to mingle and talk to other patients too. Socializing is a good stress reliever and chatting with friends is also good for seniors. Hence, what we offer at Harmony Residential Care Center is both companionship and fun. We want our patients to enjoy their stay.

Here are some activities that you can expect in a residential care center:

1. Arts and Crafts
   One of the most recommended activities for seniors is arts and crafts. They do not necessarily have to deal with sharp objects or complicated art projects to enjoy. Letting them make seasonal greeting cards, as well as scrapbooking, helps them divert their attention to other things and reminisce on the good memories that they had with their loved ones.

   Doing arts and crafts is also a way for seniors to mingle with the people who are living in the same residential houses.

2. Exercise
   When the seniors are placed in a residential care center, they are not just left with nothing to do. In fact, their personal caregivers would even schedule their day in such a way that they will enjoy it.

   We always try to include exercise activities at our residential care center in Ware Shoal Manor SC, the Harmony Residential Care Center. We create special exercise programs that will improve their muscle strength and most importantly, boost their mood.

   Moreover, we can also conduct dancing classes or zumba sessions if the seniors ask for it. There is no better way to sweat than to do it with the beat.

3. Massage
   Whether it is a hand, body or foot massage, it will surely give relief for the seniors. Their muscles can easily feel strained despite having only minimal strenuous actions. You might hear them complaining backache on joint pains now and then. If they do not have crucial problems on their health, you can give them a massage too.

4. Hobbies
   Despite their age, seniors will always find a way to do their hobbies. There are some who still want to do gardening or playing some musical instruments and board games. With our companionship programs, we can help them tend their gardens or be their opponent when they play chess.

   In this way, you will not only have a good time with your patient but you also get to build a good rapport with them.

   Choosing the right activities for your seniors is vital. You need to know what is suitable for their age, as well as their ability, in relation to their health. It also helps to schedule their activity daily as to not to waste their time or leave them clueless on what will happen.

If you want your loved ones to experience aging at its best, let our amazing amenities at Harmony Residential Care Center help you with it. For details, please call us at 864-456-7127.
