Activities
Whether you enjoy coffee on the deck, reading, playing games, listening to live music, aroma therapy, telling stories to little ones or alone time, our staff is there for you. We feature our associate pastor for Bible study every Tuesday for those who are interested and encourage guest visits at anytime.
Music is a huge part of Open Arms. We love inviting guests who play piano, guitar, harp, singing or whatever talent they are willing to share.
Faith also plays the piano when possible or Alexa is playing our favorites in the kitchen. It is so fun to see the residents enjoying a meal and hear toes tapping. If they could, we are sure they would be up dancing as well.
Bible Study is offered weekly. Dave brings a prepared lesson and has it in large print for each resident. He usually gets a feel for what the residents would like to talk about and then prepares accordingly. Often times there will be great discussion around the table. Dave has key questions that stir conversation and the time goes by very quickly. The residents always enjoy this.
Children have always been around at Open Arms. We started with our own children growing up here and they just thought they had lots of grandparents. They were very blessed.
Now our kids are grown with children of their own and when they come to visit, the residents light up. The kids learned to walk hanging on to walkers and wheelchairs.
Children bring a youthful energy that is refreshing to our residents. They love to watch, be entertained and at times listen while the children practice reading.
We have had multiple volunteer groups come in and interact with our residents. One high school group in particular was an alternative school for teens and they were assigned a resident to interview and build a relationship with. It was so fun to see teens let their guard down and really enter into a world that is foreign to them such as WW1 and WW2 or life without tv and internet. The group made huge strides in their personal relationship and came back to share. It was a memorable and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. They also presented each resident with a DVD of the experience.
