Morning Pointe of Calhoun designed to meet the emotional and physical needs of seniors with a variety of programs
Morning Pointe of Calhoun provides many programs and activities for their residents, including daily physical activity; religious services with hymn singing, inspirational readings and music; life long learning and cognitive flexibility including trivia games, current events, classes and educational speakers; regular projects that encourage volunteering and giving back to the Gordon County community; intergenerational programs to connect residents with children and students of all ages and themed activities. Exercise Regular exercise and physical activity are important to the physical and mental well- being of almost everyone, especially older adults. At Morning Pointe, an exercise program is part of every day. Being physically active can help you continue to do the things you really enjoy while maintain- ing your independence as you age. Regular physical exercise over long periods of time can have long- term health benefits. That’s why health experts encourage older adults be active every day.
Intergenerational Activities
This involves a wide range of programming that includes children and students of all ages. For seniors, the benefits of developing intergenerational relationships include health improvements, emotional support and enhanced socialization skills. For children, these relationships decrease negative behaviors, provide positive role models and teach appreciation for people and the past. Socialization It doesn’t matter what age you are, people need people. At Morning Pointe Assisted Living/ Personal Care, we understand how much one’s quality of life is enhanced simply by friendship. Seniors who are actively engaged in activities they love and sharing their passion with others are happier and likely healthier. We make sure our residents are involved and if they are unable to be active, then we go to them, creating Meaningful Days inside their apartments. Our life enrichment staff regularly connect our seniors with volunteer work helping them to continue to make a difference inside and outside our community. We understand that feeling valued and a part of something is important no matter what age you are. The benefits are priceless. Community Service Many of the seniors who call Morning Pointe Assisted Living and Personal Care home were active volunteers in the communities where they lived. So, it makes sense to continue that work. We make a point to understand all that a resident was involved in before he/ she moved to a Morning Pointe Senior Living community and
we reach out to those very groups. Morning Pointe regularly hosts retired teacher luncheons, veterans groups and serves as a meeting place for numerous community organizations and nonprofits. When groups aren’t inside our building gathering on behalf of the residents, Morning Pointe seniors are hard at work making a difference through monthly service projects. They have stuffed dolls for children scheduled for surgery, created blankets for the homeless and worked in area food banks. Together they have raised tens of thousands of dollars for the Alzheimer’s Association. Celebrations Birthdays, holidays, important days of history, inventions, as well as celebrations from around the world, there is always something to celebrate, remember, and learn about at Morning Pointe Assisted Living/ Personal Care. Each of the celebrations is a great opportunity to dress up or dress alike, to create a specialty craft or work on a community service project for others. And of course, enjoy all kinds of food, new dishes and outstanding desserts. It’s a great way to socialize and connect with others as we continue to create purposeful days for your loved one.
