Senior Living Classes
Community engagement in senior living environments is vital to the overall health and well-being of residents. The friendships and connections that residents make can be critical to the adjustment into a community living situation. That is why modern senior and continuing care centers believe the menu of life enriching activities needs to inspire continuous learning and cater to a sophisticated, interested and engaged population. We at Creatives-connect understand this mission and want to help you reach these goals.

Here’s what La Posada’s Senior Living Wellness Director and residents have to say about their experiences:
“Creatives-connect has breathed new life into our residents’ artistic endeavors here at La Posada. The arts & crafts and beading classes are well planned and appropriate for seniors at the community. DeeAnne and Idilko stimulate our residents’ artistic desires as well as provide an environment that engages them socially and even spiritually. I would strongly recommend them to any community looking to add or expand art classes as part of their programming.”
