30’s 40’s and 50’s Music!

We had the awesome chance to hear a concert by Bob Shorten on Saturday. He played music from the 1930’s, 40’s and 50’s. The residents loved it! They all sang and danced along. Thanks Bob!

Chair Exercising

The past couple of days here in Orem have been very chilly! This is unfortunate because we love going outside whenever we can, and get most of our exercise from walks on the path on our campus. We were scheduled to go outside today, but it was 25 degrees outside! So we had to get creative. We did a chair yoga routine and coupled it with other exercises such as lifting our arms and legs repeatedly. The residents who participated actually really enjoyed it! We will definitely be adding this activity to our exercise repertoire.

Wii Sports

We recently got a wii at Beehive homes and we are having fun learning how to use it! Using the wii is a great way to help the elderly get some exercise and range of motion, and to play sports that they haven’t been able to play in years. Our personal favorites are wii tennis, wii baseball and wii bowling.

Happy Halloween!

We had a fun Halloween at Beehive on Friday! We decorated Halloween sugar cookies which is always a hit with the residents
