Life Enrichment (Activities)
We have daily activities in the facility.
Trinity Assisted Living of Idaho, Inc. has a full time dedicated Life Enrichment Coordinator for the purpose of helping our residents be active, happy and to get out in the community, if they wish. A few times during each month we have larger activities, combined with all four facilities. We have played poker, played games, done stamping, made cards and gifts, baked, done yard work, went on walks, taken trips to WalMart, had large BBQ's, gone to the movies, went bowling, went to the zoo, gone camping and fishing, went on hayrides, and much much more. We are always up for ideas as we want to do activities that make our residents live their life to the fullest!
Activities are an essential part of the resident's lives. When a resident is out doing activities the smiles on their faces are like a child's on Christmas morning. The excitement in their eyes and the feeling of acceptance shines through. These are the reasons we do the job we do. Seeing those smiles on their faces puts the warmest feeling in our hearts. We have taken them on a two day camping trip which consisted of fishing and nature walks.
The walks were great for their physical needs and helped clear their minds. Fishing did the same. These activities helped the residents use patience and develop large and small motor skills, as well as the use of social skills. We also took a trip to the zoo which was an exciting time for them learning about and seeing the different kinds of animals.
