When it comes to maximizing happiness and quality of life while minimizing depression and anxiety in older adults, time spent together with others seems to be the secret. A new study supports this idea. But you don’t have to go far to see this put into practice. The retirees at The Landing at Queensbury are as active as ever, with many opportunities for group activities daily.
Whether it’s weekly trips out shopping, daily exercise classes that include Zumba, meditation, and weight lifting, or frequent games of Bingo, Apples to Apples, and Mexican Train Dominoes – each event adds up for significant physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Other studies reveal that older adults who frequently participate in social gatherings within senior living communities experience numerous health benefits, increased security, and a sense of belonging.
With holiday-themed months, cooking classes, the resident storytelling circle, movies, or just the Sunday night ice cream social, there isn’t any time to rest for the active seniors at The Landing at Queensbury.
“We see firsthand how social engagement enriches the lives of our residents every day,” said Alisha Stosic, Executive Director. “Whether it’s a lively game night, a fitness class, or a shared meal, these moments of connection foster joy, improve well-being, and create a true sense of belonging.”
“We’re proud to provide a vibrant community where seniors thrive together,” she added.
