 Wii is the hottest video game console on the market and is rapidly invading assisted living homes across the country.  The very popular bowling game is the center of attention for activities due to its therapeutic benefits. 

 

Our Wii is holding up to its reputation!  This game has quickly Cards%20002.jpgbecome an activity of choice among our residents.  2010 will kick-off with bowling tournaments on the activity schedule and a new teaching class for beginners as well as an advanced class for the "pros"!

 

Our next Wii Bowling Tournament with the Whitehall Senior Center is on July 19th at 1:30 p.m.

i.g.n.i.t.e. is a uniquely designed intergenerational program used solely at The Woodlands.  The Woodlands is an Assisted Living and Alzheimer’s Care community located at 5380 East Broad Street in Columbus. 

i.g.n.i.t.e. was created to enhance the lives of our residents while benefiting children ages pre-school though 12the grade with the opportunity to learn from and experience the knowledge and nurturing of an older generation, thereby igniting the fire of a lifetime of  amazement with education and the wonder of life.  We are proud to offer a wide variety of opportunities for individuals, classes, groups and organizations to partner with us.  A few examples of previous projects have included: Pen Pal Programs, Choir Performances, Craft Projects, Book Creation, and Bible Study/Church Service.

 

Woodlands%20Artwork%20016.jpg

We tailor each program or project to size and age of each group.  We currently are excited to have one on one student volunteers through groups of 75.  Healthy, peanut-free snacks are provided and each young group program is concluded with the reading of “Oh, the Places You’ll Go” by Dr. Seuss.  We believe this book summarizes our goal of the i.g.n.i.t.e. program and has an inspiring message for all generations.

  

In addition to inviting the youth to our community, we also welcome the opportunity for us to attend programs at your specific location.  Our residents have enjoyed theatrical and choir performances and art shows.
