Engaging Days Senior Enrichment Center

06/16/2026

In addition to providing excellent care for our clients, another huge part of the Engaging Days mission is to support those who are caring for them in the day to day. The average caregiver rarely takes time to meet their own needs, let alone pamper themselves. Thanks to help from some of our amazing community partners, we were able to host a "Caring for Caregivers" event on Saturday. Participants were treated to sound therapy, courtesy of Sukha Inspired Yoga, and chair massages from Dawn and Lisa at Healing Touch by Lisa. Lisa also donated two 30 minute massage gift cards and a gift basket full of self care goodies 💆‍♀️ Thank you, ladies!

In addition, we are so thankful for the continued support provided by Day City Hospice, who co-sponsored this event. Thank you, Jackie and Day City!

Who doesn't love free ice cream and music?! 🍨

We are only two weeks away from our annual Senior Ice Cream Social. Come out to the Earl Heck Center on June 16th for a live performance from the Englewood Civic Band while you enjoy some delicious JD's Custard.

Friday's weather was perfect for cold drinks by the river! We stopped at Cafe 19 first, where clients had a choice between iced tea and lemonade. Then we scooted over to Aullwood Garden MetroPark to enjoy our drinks by the water. We just so happened to be there at the right time for great views of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels practicing before the air show! Check the comments for a clip of that.

Thank you so much to our friend, Sharon, for the awesome opportunity to spend time with your horses! This fun outing took place a while back (as evidenced by the jackets) and we forgot to post 🫣

We loved spending time with Boone and Amigo. Thanks again, Sharon!

We had a lot of fun attending the first weekly Coffee Club at Legacy Batting Cages - Legacy Sports! We enjoyed coffee and donuts then played corn hole and discovered that Brian is secretly a pro corn hole-r.

We look forward to attending again in the future. Thanks for inviting us, Legacy crew!

Having a Dairy Queen so close to the center is dangerous! Luckily, we like to live on the edge 😎

We believe that having choices is a huge part of preserving dignity and promoting independence, so every client had a choice in which treat they got. They could choose a sundae (with two topping options) or a cone (with two flavor options). We ended up with two strawberry sundaes, two chocolate cones, and one plain ol' vanilla🍦Everyone had a wonderful time laughing and enjoying treats with their friends!

We are heartbroken to share that we have lost another precious friend 💔

Pat was kind to everyone she met and always willing to share her beautiful smile. She had a warm and inviting spirit about her that made anyone feel welcome and at ease. We feel so fortunate to have celebrated two birthdays with Pat and to have had the opportunity to witness the love between her and Don, her devoted husband of 65 years. In fact, this picture was taken the first time she sat in "her chair", a recliner we specifically placed by the window so she could be comfortable while waiting for her hubby, as she called him 🥹

We love you Pat, and we will miss you deeply.
