While aging, it is imperative to retain a social circle in order to foster a healthy mind and body. For elderly persons in nursing homes, social connection may be even more important. In Lakeside Rehab & Care Center, we know the benefits of fostering a social environment for the residents at our nursing home.

Research has demonstrated that social isolation and loneliness can result in poor health outcomes like depression, anxiety as well as cognitive decline. For this reason, we pay strong attention to implementing social activities and interactive events so that our residents have a feeling of belonging.

At Lakeside Nursing Center, we provide social activities. We also train our staff to provide emotional support and companionship to our residents. Social connections have physical health benefits as well besides contributing to a better mental state. At Lakeside Rehab & Care Center, we consider community and social belonging as key factors to the well-being of our residents. We work towards establishing a community where people can forge genuine bonds with other residents, including our staff.
