Cultivating Active Connections

At Amaran Senior Living we believe each day is an opportunity to find new ways to engage purposefully and discover fun new activities. Through Active Connections, our residents find daily opportunities to express themselves creatively, connect with all generations, have fun and pursue wellness with activities that are tailored to meet their individual interests.

We take the time to learn what each individual resident’s interests and passions are as well as what they are most interested in learning or developing. Our Activities Director then draws inspiration from the answers to shape a robust, customized calendar of events and activities.

Activities

If a resident has an idea for an activity or program, we collaborate with them in developing, promoting and leading it. We believe an enriched, purpose-filled life can be lived at any age – and we are committed to helping our residents achieve it.

Active Connections includes:

Individualized Resident Engagement Plans
Resident Engagement Software
Intergenerational Involvement

Purposeful Connections

At Amaran Senior Living, we believe physical health is just one piece of a person’s wellness. Wellness can mean different things to different people. For some, wellness is found in excellent healthcare support. To others, wellness may mean engaging in purpose-filled activities that create joy. To support our residents in their pursuit of total wellness, Amaran Senior Living has Purposeful Connections.

Purposeful Connections is a program based on 5 intentions: (1) Making a difference; (2) Cultivating; (3) Purposeful; (4) Connection; and (5) Joy and Opportunity. Each step focuses on creating a unique and individual approach to a resident’s total wellness.

A Deep Understanding

From nutrition and discrete personal support, to physical and mental fitness, to learning and social opportunities Amaran’s approach to wellness is an attempt to having a deep understanding of each individual we serve. Cultivating individualized care and engagement plans with the desire to have the highest standards ultimately can influence the joy our residents may feel on a day-by-day basis.

Through Purposeful Connections, residents, families, staff and care providers work together to engage Amaran residents with varying degrees of activity. Developing a unified approach to wellness and creating opportunities for a richer environment for all.

Amaran, where there are endless opportunities, continual growth, and unending purpose
