🎨✨ Arts & Crafts: More Than Just a Hobby! ✨🎨

Have you ever picked up a paintbrush, yarn, or some clay and felt the weight of the world lift off your shoulders? That's the magic of arts and crafts at work! It's not just about creating something beautiful; it's about nurturing our minds and bodies.

A very successful !

Our programming is created to ensure we are meeting physical, social and emotional well-being. Did you know baking can be a shared activity that encourages conversation, laughter, and bonding with family and friends, helping to reduce feelings of isolation and lonelines?

What a fun way to encourage friendship and conversation all while enjoying a yummy treat!🧁

Our members were hard at work this week helping our Center Director prepare for the upcoming Indiana Association of Adult Day Services 2025 Conference!

Giving our members tasks provides significant benefit for their overall well-being by fostering a sense of purpose, improving self-esteem and mood, and helping them maintain cognitive and physical functions for longer. These activities can also reduce challenging behaviors and provide social connection.

Shared activities and tasks create opportunities for positive social interaction and communication with caregivers, family members, or peers, reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation.

We thrive on having our members engage with us in this capacity!✨️

There might be snow outside, but we are still embracing fall here at Active Day of Fort Wayne!

There are many great health benefits to arts and crafts, let's talk about the physical benefits!

☝️Improved Fine Motor Skills and Coordination: The precise hand and finger movements involved in holding a paintbrush and applying strokes help maintain or improve dexterity, hand-eye coordination, and muscle strength in the hands and arms.

💊Pain Management: The relaxing and meditative nature of the creative process can help distract from chronic pain and reduce stiffness and inflammation associated with conditions like arthritis.

❤️Increased Blood Flow: Engaging in these light physical activities helps facilitate better blood flow throughout the body.

Call us today to join in on the healthy fun!🎨🖼

On Veterans Day, we honor not just the service, but the sacrifice. To the veterans who have dedicated their lives to something bigger than themselves, we see you, we honor you, and we will never forget the price you paid for our liberty.

Thank you for the courage you carried and the weight you continue to bear. Wishing all who served a peaceful and recognized Veterans Day.

We heard it was so we decided to play our favorite donut game!🤣

➡️Fun fact, the first National Donut Day was a fundraiser held by The Salvation Army in Chicago in 1938 to help those in need during the Great Depression. It also commemorated the "Donut Lassies" (female Salvation Army volunteers) who provided emotional support, supplies, and fresh donuts to soldiers on the front lines in the front lines in France during WWI.

Our members enjoyed a brief history lesson prior to tasting the yummy treat. We encourage our members to engage with historical facts, stories, and different time periods as it provides an intellectual challenge and offers mental stimulation, which is crucial for healthy aging and helps keep the mind sharp.

Wow! A tasty treat with rich history was sure celebrated today!🍩
