Spa Days And Self-Care
Self-care never stops being important, and having the chance to be pampered every now and then is always a treat. Simple spa activities, like receiving haircuts, manicures, and pedicures are great for self-nurturing and to feel good about yourself. At Eastside Active Living we have a hair salon on site for our residents to enjoy.
Wii Sports
Wii Sports offers a variety of great senior living activities. Not only are the games fun, but they’re good for senior fitness. These activities, like basketball, tennis, bowling, baseball, boxing, and golf, offer mental stimulation and can help alleviate stress and frustration.
When playing Wii Sports, you have the option to play individually, in a pair of two, a group of three, and a group of four. These features can allow seniors to engage with others and socialize even more.
Book Clubs
Book clubs are another great engaging senior living activity. There are many benefits that seniors can gain from joining and participating in a book club. Like so many other senior living activities, book clubs give seniors the opportunity to make new friends. Book clubs facilitate learning in a fun and casual environment and can boost communication skills.

Seniors participating in art classes can grow their physical and emotional well-being, as well as socially engage with others and learn from them. Taking part in hands-on crafts can build up social connections, decrease loneliness, and relieve stress and anxiety.
