VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT: http://www.aspenseniorcenter.org/ OUR MOTTO Our motto at Aspen Senior Center is "You don't quit playing because you get old, You get old because you quit playing." Over the past year our days have been filled with a wide range of activities. BEGIN THE DAY Begin the day with Cognitive games such as Word Searches, Puzzles, Quirkle, Bingo, Dominoes, Memory, Cranium Crunches, Jenga, Checkers, Uno, Zingo, and Scrabble just to name a few. We already know that exercise is good for our bodies but keeping our brains active and challenged every day keeps us fit as well REMINISCING Reminiscing discussions elicit memories of "the good ol' days" and give opportunities for socialization as memories are shared of lives well lived. MUSIC Music is one of our favorite parts of the day. Our Sing-Alongs, Name that Tune and Musical Instruments all bring joy as our seniors sing familiar songs such as "Shine on Harvest Moon", "Toot Toot Tootsie", and "Me and My Gal". ART FROM THE HEART When words fail, our daily art classes have shown us how a work of art can tell a story, express emotion or recreate a memory in a way nothing else does. Creativity, sensory stimulation and socialization also occur during this time. It has become one of the highlights of our clients' day! STAYING FIT For many adults, growing older seems to involve inevitable loss of strength and fitness. The adage "use it or lose it" applies here. At Aspen Senior Center, exercise is a large part of our day. From playing pool, bowling, horseshoes, ring toss, foosball, ball toss, scavenger hunts, "Minute to Win It," Sit and Dance, to playing with noodles, balloons and parachutes, we are always on the move. Physical limitations are forgotten, friendships are formed and fears of growing older are alleviated. COOKING CLASS Baking brings back fond memories in the kitchen of favorite dishes and allows our Seniors an opportunity to participate hands-on. This increases self esteem and helps them feel at home doing many of the things they remember. As the most economical approach to senior care, we help your loved one enjoy each day with fulfilling activities and projects, a delicious catered lunch, and socializing with other seniors in the community.
