Birthday Celebration:
Third Thursday of the Month 11:15am-12pm
Birthday celebrations aren't just for kids! Active Adults should also take advantage of the opportunity to socialize, experience positive emotions, and get a break from their daily routine. Not only can it have a positive impact on their mental health, but it's also a chance to have fun, have a treat, and learn more about what Humana has to offer. As a way of expressing our appreciation, we offer a small gift to those who attend during their birth month.
Chair Volleyball:
Mondays and Wednesdays 12pm-1pm
Chair Volleyball is a physical activity that provides a fun way to stay active. Due to players needing to remain seated throughout gameplay, this game allows those with physical limitations to play on an even playing field. Chair volleyball is great for upper body mobility and joint flexibility. It enhances your muscle tone, reflexes, hand-to-eye coordination, and endurance.
Chair Yoga & Meditation:
(With Val Jennings)
Mondays and Fridays 11am-12pm
With Val Jennings Weekly
Active Adults should attend chair yoga because it is a low-impact exercise that can improve flexibility, balance, and strength. It can also help reduce stress and improve your overall well-being. Additionally, chair yoga can be adapted to accommodate physical limitations, making it a safe and accessible form of exercise for aging adults.
Craft Club:
Wednesdays and Fridays 10am-12pm
Our staff provides crafts that are enjoyable, simple, and affordable. Alternatively, you can bring your own activities. When you visit our center, you'll have the opportunity to craft alongside our staff or instructors, who will assist you in creating your masterpiece. Participating in arts and crafts is a wonderful way to reduce stress and maintain coordination and concentration, especially for aging adults. Recent activities include Ceramics, Decoupage Painted Wine Bottles, Alcohol Ink Tiles, and more!
Domino Club:

Dominoes is a great game to play while still being engaging and constructive. Playing this game can improve many aspects of life for seniors and help to keep their minds and bodies healthy for longer.
