Yesterday afternoon Optima Hamlets of Duncan recreation team celebrated Therapeutic Recreation (TR) month by doing some therapeutic recreation of our own. We followed Artful Enrichment’s prerecorded West Coast Forest paint tutorial, enjoyed some snacks, and had a discussion about holding close to our “why” we choose this work. We talked about burnout and why TR is important for the individuals in our communities. Our painting experience highlighted the beauty in the differences of perspectives between us and allowed some time to flow together.

Friendship plays a powerful role as we age, it brings comfort, joy, and a sense of belonging that enriches every day. At The Hamlets at Duncan, those connections grow naturally through shared meals, conversations, hobbies, and moments of simple companionship. The bonds formed here remind us that life is always brighter when you have someone to laugh with, talk to, and walk beside. Here, friendship isn’t just encouraged, it’s part of what makes our community feel like home.

Keeping your mind active doesn’t have to feel like work.

Simple activities like conversation, reading, games, and new experiences can all support cognitive wellness in a relaxed, enjoyable way. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s engagement, curiosity, and connection. We make space every day for moments that help keep the mind stimulated while still feeling fun and stress free.

A healthy brain is nurtured through warmth, community, and small daily habits that truly fit your life.
