More Than Bingo: The Power of Purposeful Activities at Evermore
At Evermore, we believe that meaningful activities are not just something to fill the calendar — they’re central to our residents’ sense of purpose, identity, and joy. While many senior communities default to bingo and television, our boutique approach to assisted living and memory care gives us the freedom to go deeper and more personal.
We are constantly asking our residents what activities they might be interested in. It might be beauty day, bringing in some music or singers, or a poker game. This gives residents a sense of ownership and excitement.. For individuals who may be losing control in other areas of life, this matters greatly.
We also go beyond group activities and tailor one-on-one experiences that reflect our residents’ unique interests. Whether it’s listening to a favorite singer, helping with the garden, or sharing old memories using prompted idea cards, each interaction is a chance to make someone feel truly seen.
Some of the ways we enrich life at Evermore include:
• Manicure Monday, our owner gives manicures to our ladies and even some of the men that enjoy the massage!
• Popcorn movie nights with classic films and cozy atmosphere
• Visits from therapy dogs, local musicians, and even college students
• Luncheon Dialog, our team reads fun and thoughtful questions that get everyone talking, laughing, and sharing stories — it’s a great way to learn more about each other.
We don’t treat activities like tasks to check off a list. Instead, we view them as opportunities to build connection — between residents, between staff and families, and between the past and present. A daughter once told us, “It’s not just that Mom has something to do, it’s that she feels like she still matters.” That’s the gold standard we aim for every day.
Because Evermore is intentionally small and fully residential in design, we have the flexibility to adapt our programming in real time. A rainy afternoon might inspire a spontaneous painting session. A morning conversation about favorite recipes might become a cooking project by lunchtime. We are always listening — and responding — to what lights our residents up.
The truth is, aging doesn’t mean giving up joy or curiosity. At Evermore, it means discovering new reasons to smile, even as needs change. With our custom activity model, we turn every day into an opportunity for celebration, engagement, and purpose.
