Creative therapies have been proven beneficial for seniors. Suppose a loved one is struggling with completing everyday tasks or experiencing anxiety due to being overwhelmed and confused with everyday life. In that case, they may benefit from exploring creative programs and therapies designed for seniors needing assisted care.
At MorningStar Assisted Living in Sparks, NV, our creative programs developed by our Life Enrichment Teams are essential to maintaining cognitive health and quality of life for all our senior residents. Keep reading to explore three of the most popular assisted living creative programs offered in assisted living. Art Therapy Art therapy is a very successful form of therapy for seniors as it offers a wide range of possibilities. Generally, seniors can paint, draw, complete crafts, write, and much more during art therapy. Art therapy for seniors in assisted living care enhances social skills and improves cognitive and sensory-motor functions. These abilities usually diminish as we age and our memory declines. Art therapy is a great way to combat these symptoms of memory loss in seniors. Music Therapy There is impressive research to back up the effectiveness of music therapy and you don’t need to be a musician to enjoy the benefits! You can find music therapy in assisted living that often looks like drum circles, listening to classical music while relaxing, or practicing an instrument. Music therapy is very relaxing for seniors in assisted care and helps them recall memories and lower anxiety. Pet therapy It’s hard to be discouraged when interacting with cuddly animals. Pet therapy is a great way for seniors to relax and indulge their inner child. Spending time with an animal or pet you enjoy can greatly reduce feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression. MorningStar Assisted Living offers a mix of art therapies like pet therapy and other creative activities that stimulate the mind, body, and spirit through a holistic approach.
