Research shows that intergenerational settings can lead to increased engagement, socialization, improved physical health, and emotional support for seniors and children alike. Activities such as ‘Storytime at the Village’ and Baking Club are just a couple of opportunities we offer for residents to share their wisdom and encourage mutual cross-generational sharing of talents, skills, experiences, and energy.
Studies have shown that physical activity in seniors slows the cognitive decline caused by dementia and keeps the body healthy. Because physical activity is paramount to senior health and well-being, we are proud to offer a variety of activities, such as a Weekly Walking Club, ‘Stay on Your Feet’ Balance Class and ‘Forever in Motion’ Exercise.
Exercise isn’t just from the neck down—it’s just as important to keep the mind in shape, both for cognitive health and for rich, enjoyable days filled with thoughtful engagement. We adapt learning and creative programs to connect with our residents’ abilities and strengths, including Book Club, Name That Tune, Game Night, Current Events Club and more to help keep the brain happily engaged.
For some, it’s about maintaining the comfort and meaning of spiritual beliefs and traditions. For others, it’s about meditation, mindfulness and movement that contribute to overall well-being. Whatever form spirituality takes for our residents, we offer designated onsite peaceful space as well as safe off-site church transportation.
We encourage families of our residents to spend time together and take part in the numerous family-centred activities. A resident favourite is our monthly resident and family dinner for children and senior family members, hosted at our onsite restaurant.
Harbour Landing Village values the importance of community. We are proud to partner with the South Regina Community Associations, local organizations and independent wellness professionals to offer unique programs and special events to residents, seniors in the community, and the public at large.
Join Alex and Samara at 12:00pm on the first Friday of each month to learn, laugh, and help each other through mutual understanding.
