The Enriched Life assisted living activities program at Bowman Place is a comprehensive activity program that encompasses new experiences and enriches old favorites. To guide our programming, each resident will be asked to share their interests with us in the form of their Enriched Life Resident History. The objective is to continue what residents enjoy and offer them the opportunity to try something new in a setting of safety and support. Some activities will be in large groups, while some special interest groups could have as few as four or five like-minded residents.

Components of the Enriched Life Program include:

1. Senior Strong: This includes all types of movement, including exercise, dancing, walking groups and other ways of getting residents “on the move.”
2. Nature Lovers: Taking trips or going out for a mystery ride or other outings, like a Bird Watcher’s Club, visits to museums, theaters and other venues, and luncheons.
3. Cranium Stretch: These programs include reminiscence, word games, and other brain stimulating games.
4. Holistic Exploration: This encompasses religious celebrations, and also broader spiritual programs like yoga and meditation, as well as exploring new ideas that encourage broad wellness ideas.
5. Busy Daze: These programs include artistic adventures, music, crafts, culinary and book clubs, sports buffs, movie night, gardening and floral design, cooking classes, wine tasting, etc.

The goal of the Enriched Life program is to provide predictable, balanced programs that incorporate the latest research in holistic living environments and socially purposeful activities to create a feeling of well-being in our residents. It is a mix of active and sedentary, familiar and new, and comfortable and challenging.
