Why Seasonal Engagement Matters
Each season brings new sensory experiences, energy levels, and opportunities for socialization. For older adults, engaging with the seasons can help maintain physical health, boost mood, and provide a comforting sense of continuity.
Summer, in particular, offers a natural backdrop for connection with nature, with others, and with cherished memories. Whether it’s feeling the ocean breeze, listening to live music, or enjoying a cool treat on a warm afternoon, summer lends itself to sensory-rich, emotionally fulfilling experiences.
At The Kensington Redondo Beach, life enrichment programming reflects the community’s broader commitment to Our Promise to love and care for your family as we do our own..
This involves creating meaningful and joyful experiences tailored to individual preferences and needs.
