When things slow down, and nothing is happening, it’s the perfect time to get into a new hobby. Some believe that the elderly cannot get into new hobbies and activities due to their age, but that’s simply not true. Take a look at a few suggestions and what we offer our residents at The Windsor Senior Living Community. At our senior apartments near New Orleans, we pride ourselves on putting our seniors’ needs first.

Building Individual Interests

Many tend to think that getting older means you can’t do as much as you could before. And while that may be true for more physically demanding activities, it’s not true for other things. 

Art doesn’t just help us express ourselves, it also makes us feel good. And with the current ongoings of the world, what better time is there to express ourselves? And luckily, testing out art is easy thanks to the fact that supplies for beginners can be inexpensive. Putting your heart into a piece can take up a good amount of time and allows you to express yourself.

Who doesn’t love to read? But you can’t exactly pick up books every time you finish one. Especially if the reader finishes books daily. A reading tablet, like a Kindle, is perfect in these situations. And for those who love a good story but cannot see very well anymore, many tablets offer eReader capabilities.

Who said games are just for kids? Thanks to handheld games, video games are on the go and easier than ever. For example, with consoles like the Switch and Switch Lite, you can take the games with you and choose your own experience. Do you like simple, slow games? Or something more adventurous? Maybe a mystery? There are options for everyone. And with the stimulation that video games provide, they can help you stay sharp and improve short-term memory. That’s two benefits in one hobby!

There are many other hobbies you can get into when you live in our senior apartments near New Orleans. Whatever makes you happy and keeps you going is more than enough. But what about what WE offer our residents?
