Celebrations at Aravilla Sarasota
May is one of our favorite months. We have lots of birthdays and lots to celebrate though out the month. We started the month off with our Cinco de Mayo celebration. As always, the decorations are all so vibrant and colorful. Our senior residents wore big sombreros and feasted on chips and salsa along with delicious Margaritas as we listened to music by our friend Al.
Our next big day was the Mother’s Day Tea Party. Our senior residents had such a nice time at this celebration. The ladies dressed up with their fancy flowered hats and pearl necklaces for this special occasion. We had the cutest tea sets and a variety of tea flavors. We enjoyed the tea with delicious pastries and macarons. What a treat. May had lots more adventures here at Memory Care Aravilla Sarasota. We enjoyed them all. We can’t wait to see what June has instore for us.
Memorial Day
Memorial Day is the day that is set aside to remember with gratitude and pride all of those who served and died for our country and our freedom. We thank them and honor them on this holiday. The entire day was very patriotic. We held a ceremony to thank and pray for those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Residents read poems, prayers and sang along to many patriotic tunes. We made beautiful patriotic crafts which we used to decorate the atrium with. We set out our flags and banners which made the room very festive. Aravilla Sarasota had a full house for our Memorial Day ceremony. Of course this was followed by our traditional, delicious BBQ lunch with ribs, hot dogs, burgers, sodas and more! Music hour was a blast. Ron played a few patriotic songs for us to sing and tap our toes to. Surely everyone needed a nap after such a busy day.
Yoga at Aravilla Sarasota
Staying active and mobile in your senior years can provide many health benefits. Yoga is an excellent option to consider if you want to remain active and flexible without muscle strain. Many studies show that yoga practice has a positive effect on cellular aging, mobility, balance, mental health, prevention of cognitive decline and improves sleep habits in seniors who practice it correctly. Join Martha and the gang in the Memory Care atrium every Thursday at 11 am. Be sure to come early. Seats fill quickly.
