The fall seasons brings a new variety of activities, smells, sights, and flavors. At St. Andrew’s Place we believe as you age one of the most important things you can do for our health is remain active, that’s why we offer a variety of purposeful activities. A new season brings an opportunity for more fun.
Plans for outside includes:
- Going for walks in the parks or in town to enjoy the fall foliage. We will breathe fresh, crisp air, and “ooh and ahh” over the leaves changing colors.
- Visiting a local farm to either pick apples or pumpkins which we will later use for decorations and/or making treats.
- We will build a campfire on the porch. We will enjoy the blaze, reminisce about fall time of past, and perhaps get out the s’more making materials (it’s not just for summer!).
- Visiting local bazaars during the holidays. Perhaps get some ideas to do our own crafts.
- And, of course, weekly shopping trips!
Plans for inside activities include:
- We will explore the fall colors in different art projects. Decorating pumpkins, creating Thanksgiving centerpieces, and Christmas stockings. Art allows us to work with our hands, engage our minds, and do a little socializing.
- The knitting club will resume on Tuesdays.
- Tai-chi geared towards senior will return on Thursdays.
- Decorating of St. Andrew’s Place. First Halloween, slowly transitioning into fall colors for Thanksgiving, and then, Christmas.
- We will gather on Sundays for the Seahawk football games in the activities room for snacks and to watch the game together.
- Halloween we will be throwing a Monster Mash party in the morning along with a costume parade and spooky bingo in the afternoon.
- We will be making Christmas cookies for the community to say “thanks” for the support over during the year.
Please stop by and join us for activities.
