Activity
and Cultural Center
At Hope Landing, we believe people can still enjoy stimulating
physical and mental activities, even if youve slowed
down a bit. Every day, our activity and cultural center
will have two to three activities, from cards and games,
to lectures and concerts. There will also be a daily discussion
group and talk about current events and other interesting
items. Nightly, there may be a special event, or youll
be able to grab some popcorn and watch one of your favorite
movies. When you first come to Hope Landing, well
sit down with you over a cup of coffee and find out what
you like to do. Well do our best to help you maintain
your desired routine and activitieseven if it requires
some extra accommodation. We can help make it possible for
you to read books with big print, listen to music with special
headphones, and watch events on a big screen. Assistance
is available for gardening, writing letters, walking and
other activities. We will encourage you to keep dreaming,
and offer you the opportunity to try new things.
Happy
Hour
On selected evenings throughout the month, we will have
the Hope Landing Happy
Hour, with drinks and hors doeuvres, music and guests.
It will be a great time to get to know your neighbors better,
have friends and family over, and simply enjoy yourself.
Hope Landing Partner, Dean Solden is also a professional
jazz pianist. Hell be tickling the ivories throughout
each month.
Discussion
Groups
We believe that people should never stop thinking, talking
and interacting. Discussion groups with residents and outside
guests have been found effective in maintaining brain function
and sharing insights with others. During our daily discussion
group, well reminisce about the past, talk about current
events, and think about the future.
Intergenerational
Relationships
It is popular in senior communities to promote intergenerational
relationships. This usually means that small children or
infants are brought in to interact with residents. While
this can be stimulating, at Hope Landing we take intergenerational
relationships to a new level. We believe it is best for
people to interact with ALL ages, not just infants or toddlers.
We will have students of all ages coming into Hope Landing:
middle school, high school and college students. We will
also have adults of all ages interacting with residents.
Young and old alike will form friendships at Hope Landing.
We will be interacting with all sorts of people throughout
Charlotte, both inside and outside our building.
