Best Spring Activities for Seniors

Springtime is the perfect time to get seniors in the spirit of the new season! With spring comes new plant growth, baby animals, warmer weather and so much more. Winter can be a cold, sometimes boring time of year. However, with the renewal of nature can come a renewal of energy and joy with these spring activities for seniors in assisted living in Phoenix. 

Farmers Market

Farmers markets are a wonderful way for elderly people to enjoy the spring, as well as help support local businesses. Having a day out with friends and family is also a great way to make amazing memories, and even try new things! Farmers markets are often full of delicious foods and drinks, beautiful crafts, one-of-a-kind decor, home-grown produce, and much more. This makes farmers markets a perfect place for seniors to get outside and enjoy the springtime, and browse great local products. 

Painting

Painting is something that doesn’t require any training or experience to be fun. However, it is a great outlet for all the emotions that can come up during springtime. Winter can be a difficult time for the elderly due to seasonal depression; but painting can help process these feelings so they can move on. Use this opportunity to get together with seniors in assisted living, and all paint your favorite things about spring. This is a great way to learn more about everyone, and have a fabulous piece of art for years to come. 

Spring Cleaning

Spring cleaning is another activity that can be great for seniors. It can also be turned into a fun community activity where people trade old things with each other. You can also have a big community yard sale and split or donate the proceeds to a local charity like a pet shelter. Spring cleaning is also important to do so that everyone can get rid of all the things they no longer need. This way, more people can benefit from these items, rather than all of it sitting around being useless. Plus, it is the perfect time to reminisce on sentimental items, and learn about each other’s memories and lives.
