Celebrating Milestones: Events and Activities at Avendelle at Lazy River

Creating Moments That Matter—Every Day

At Avendelle at Lazy River, life doesn’t just happen—it’s celebrated. From birthdays and holidays to spontaneous afternoon socials and themed activity days, we believe that meaningful moments are essential to emotional well-being and overall quality of life.

In our intimate, residential-style setting, residents aren’t just “attending” events—they’re part of them. Our community is built around connection, joy, and purpose—and our social calendar reflects that in the most personal and heartwarming ways.

Here’s a peek at how we celebrate life, big and small, at Avendelle at Lazy River.

Milestone Celebrations That Feel Like Family

Every resident’s birthday is a big deal here. Whether it’s a simple cake with candles and singing in the living room or a themed party with decorations and family guests, we make sure each person feels honored and seen.

We also recognize important anniversaries, holidays, and personal achievements—because these moments deserve to be cherished. And in a home as close-knit as ours, these celebrations often feel like a gathering of extended family.

Engaging Group Activities That Inspire Joy

Every day brings opportunities for connection, creativity, and fun. Our caregivers plan daily activities based on the interests and abilities of our residents, from arts and crafts to classic movie nights.

Some resident favorites include:

• Music & sing-alongs that spark nostalgia and lift spirits 
• Themed bingo nights and gentle games that get everyone smiling 
• Crafting and seasonal décor making (especially around holidays!) 
• Gardening afternoons in our outdoor space 
• Storytelling and memory-sharing circles 
• Baking days where the kitchen smells like home 

We know that staying mentally and emotionally engaged is just as important as physical health—so we make sure fun is built into the daily routine.

Seasonal & Holiday Events

From Valentine’s Day to Thanksgiving, we go all out. Every holiday is a reason to decorate the home, enjoy special meals, and create festive joy. Our team loves to get creative with:

• Costume parties and photo booths 
• Holiday-themed crafts and treats 
• Visits from local musicians, pets, or kids 
• Family-invited events that bring everyone together 

These moments help create a rhythm to the year, build anticipation, and give residents something to look forward to.

A Focus on Connection and Community

What sets us apart at Avendelle at Lazy River is the intimacy of our setting. With fewer residents than a traditional facility, our events feel truly personal. Everyone is included, and no one is ever just a spectator.

More than just filling the calendar, our goal is to create authentic, uplifting experiences that:

• Reduce feelings of isolation 
• Boost mood and cognitive function 
• Strengthen friendships and emotional bonds 
• Give residents a sense of purpose and joy 

In short, our events and activities are about celebrating life—together.
