29 Jul A Glimpse into the Vibrant World of Senior Daycare
“The only thing that can grow is the thing you give energy to.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is it like to spend the day at a senior daycare facility?
Senior daycare services provide a vibrant, supportive environment for elderly individuals who need assistance during the day. These centres offer a range of activities and care that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Why Choose Daycare vs Private Nurse?
- Senior daycare is better for socialisation that can positively affect mental and physical health
- Daycare can give respite to caregivers and avoid caregiver burnout
- Daycare also provides a lot of daily activities that can prevent feelings of isolation and boredom.
Senior daycare provides an alternative to caregiving options for you or your loved ones. So, if you’re curious to know what a typical day looks like for a senior daycare resident, read along. Today, we’ll bring you on a ‘tour’ on what a day at Komune Care looks like!
Morning Routine
The day begins as residents arrive at the senior daycare centre, greeted warmly by the staff and fellow participants. This welcoming atmosphere sets a positive tone for the day. Upon arrival, residents undergo a quick health check-up and receive any necessary medication, ensuring their well-being right from the start. Breakfasts and meals might be served for those who needed them as well.
Mid-Morning Activities
Mid-morning is dedicated to a variety of engaging activities. Residents participate in exercise and physical therapy sessions tailored to their abilities, promoting fitness and mobility. Cognitive games and puzzles stimulate the mind, while creative arts and crafts sessions allow for self-expression and creativity.
Here are just a few of the fun activities that our seniors at Komune Care enjoyed:
1. Flower Arrangement
2. Calligraphy
Lunch & Afternoon Relaxation
After a few hours of stimulating and meaningful activities, a balanced, healthy lunch is served. At Komune Care’s senior daycare, meals can be customised to ensure each resident receives the nutrition they need.
Post-lunch, there is a quiet time where residents can rest or engage in light activities like reading or listening to music. Those with individual hobbies are encouraged to pursue them in designated relaxation areas.
Afternoon Engagement
The afternoon is filled with more structured activities. Group sessions like music therapy or live cooking shows foster a sense of community and joy. Educational workshops or guest speakers provide mental stimulation and new learning experiences.
When weather permits, outdoor activities and garden walks offer fresh air and a change of scenery. With access to a 99-acre lakeside park, Komune Care residents can enjoy a peaceful stroll surrounded by nature.
Late Afternoon Activities
As the day winds down, residents engage in recreational activities like board games or puzzles. Personal care time is available for those who need assistance with grooming and hygiene. And the staff will help residents prepare for departure, ensuring they are ready to head home.
Going Home for the Day
The day concludes with a wrap-up of the day’s activities. Residents have the opportunity to provide feedback and reflect on their experiences, fostering a sense of accomplishment and closure. Staff assist with transportation arrangements, ensuring everyone gets home safely.
