Activities

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:

Mondays and Fridays  11am- 12pm

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. This game is mentally stimulating, promotes social interaction, maintains crucial arithmetic and critical thinking, and more. Dominoes can be played at various levels of difficulty; all skill levels are welcome at our center.

Ice Cream Social:

Luncheon: 

Last Thursday of the Month 11am-1pm

Residents $8/ Non-Residents $10

Our luncheons are more than just a meal, they're a chance to connect, laugh, and enjoy good company in a relaxed and welcoming setting. Throughout the year, we host a variety of gatherings, including in-house luncheons, potlucks where Active Adults bring a dish to share, and outings to local restaurants.
Each event offers something special, whether it’s great conversation, tasty food, or simply the joy of meeting new people. It’s the perfect way to try something new, enjoy familiar faces, and make lasting memories.

Movie & Popcorn:

First Thursday of the Month 11:15am – Until

At our center, we showcase a variety of movie genres while enjoying popcorn and other treats. Active Adults may benefit from watching movies with peers as it provides a social activity that promotes a sense of community and belonging. It also allows them to share their thoughts and opinions on the film, which can stimulate cognitive function and communication skills.

Puzzle Club:

Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays 9am- 12pm

Active Adults should do jigsaw puzzles because they can improve cognitive function, enhance problem-solving skills, reduce stress, and provide a fun and engaging activity. At our center, you can team up with a peer to complete a puzzle or if you are up to the challenge, you can master it solo.

Scrabble Club: 

Wednesdays 11am-1pm

Active Adults can benefit from joining a Scrabble club as it improves cognitive function, offers a social activity to meet new people, provides a sense of purpose, and is a low-impact activity accessible to various physical abilities. This game will keep aging adult’s minds stimulated and engaged, strengthening the brain. As a result, there is a much lower chance of developing dementia or other diseases that affect the brain.

Senior Appreciation Day:

Celebrated in August

Senior Appreciation Day is a way to honor and recognize the contributions and achievements of older adults in our community. It is an opportunity to show appreciation for their wisdom, experience, and dedication to making our world a better place. We host a banquet with various activities and giveaways to celebrate our Active Adults.
