Benefits of the Arts for Seniors at Melody Living

Melody living independent living is proud to offer a variety of activities and opportunities for residents so they can continue to enjoy a beloved hobby or pick-up a new one.

Our art room, for example, is the perfect space for residents to get in touch with their creativity, learn new techniques, and share the love of art with fellow residents. 

​Each week, Melody Living independent living community in Colorado Springs, hosts a resident-led art class to bring residents together for a fun-filled time of drawing, painting, or sketching.

​Whether residents are new to art or experienced artists, they can learn a variety of techniques and styles while also exploring their own methods. 

Participating in the arts at any age is extremely valuable and can have lasting benefits such as better overall cognitive function and improved memory.
 
Art also has been proven to increase self-esteem. Art therapy can help to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression in all ages but especially seniors.

​When people come together to enjoy and partake in art, increased social interaction is one of the many results. 

​Melody living takes pride in integrating the 8 Dimensions of Wellness into activities and daily life for our residents. Physical Wellness, Social Wellness, and Emotional Wellness come together within one of our art classes to benefit our residents.
