Staying Connected During Corornvirus Pandemic

March 9, 2020

With elderly populations especially vulnerable to the coronavirus, nursing homes and assisted living centers have drastically limited access for visitors.  I would recommend using facetime to stay connected to our love ones during this pandemic.

Community Gardening with Seniors

March 19- April 10, 2020 

"The health benefits of gardening for older adults "

For older adults, staying active and finding fulfilling hobbies to pass the time are important and beneficial to their physical and mental health. It stimulates all the senses, awakens our connection with nature and with our companions, and rewards us with fresh flowers and nutritious fruits and vegetables. "It's restorative, even if you have dementia."


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists gardening as a recommended strengthening exercise.

 

"The nurturing aspects of gardening can boost people's self esteem"

Happy Valentine Day
