Art Clubs Enhance Mental Health and Well-Being for Residents
Regular art sessions at Flowers Manor are proving to be a hit, particularly among residents who engage in painting activities. Recent studies confirm that artistic endeavours such as painting offer numerous benefits for aged individuals, significantly enhancing memory, mental health, and self-confidence while fostering a growth mindset.
Today, the art club embraced water colours, allowing residents to express their creativity through a selection of printed images. Creative sessions like this not only cultivate artistic skills but also create an uplifting environment that promotes relaxation and happiness among participants.
After the class, one resident approached the lifestyle team, expressing her joy: “I came from the tea room all relaxed and full of happiness. The session was wonderful!” Such heartfelt feedback underscores the positive impact of these art initiatives on the well-being of our elderly residents.
At Flowers Manor, we believe that art is more than just a pastime; it is a vital way to engage the mind and spirit. With these regular art clubs, residents are encouraged to explore their creativity, leading to enhanced mental health and a strengthened sense of community. As we continue to incorporate the arts into daily life, the joy and fulfilment gleaned from painting remain evident among our cherished residents.
