Summer Activities for Seniors at Pomerelle Place

According to Sixty and Me, about 21.8% of people in Idaho are aged 60 or older. Approximately 10.4 percent of seniors aged 65 and above live alone at home.

Being alone can often lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness, especially during summer. One way to overcome this challenge is by moving to Pomerelle Place, where summer activities and year-round programs keep you engaged and connected.

 

Located in Burley, ID, we provide a warm and welcoming environment with access to caring staff, daily assistance, and vibrant programs. Residents enjoy fresh meals, fun outings, and a wide range of wellness and social activities, both indoors and outdoors.

 

Life here is safe and purposeful. Learn more about summer activities for seniors at Pomerelle Place.

 

Group Outings and Scenic Rides

Summer is a great time to enjoy the beauty of Burley. At Pomerelle Place, we make it easy for you to explore and have fun. Our group outings include:

  • Visits to local parks
  • Trips to the farmer's market
  • Lunch at favorite spots in town

These Burley gatherings help you stay connected to the world around you. You can share stories, laugh with friends, and enjoy new environments-all without stress. We plan everything for comfort, with cool drinks, shaded stops, and slow pacing.

 

You don't have to worry about a thing. Each outing presents a chance to enjoy life and create memories with people who care.

 

Outdoor Relaxation Spaces

Summer's warm, bright weather makes it easier to enjoy time outside. For seniors, being outdoors can help with:

  • Reducing stress
  • Improving mood
  • Boosting vitamin D
  • Supporting joint health
  • Sharpening focus
  • Encouraging movement

Living in a senior community like Pomerelle Place means access to well-designed outdoor spaces. You can sit quietly and reflect, enjoy a book, or listen to birds in the garden.

 

These calm moments bring real outdoor fun without being tiring. Whether you enjoy company or quiet time, the space is always there to lift your spirit.

 

Fitness and Wellness Programs

Seniors need to stay physically active to remain healthy and strong. Exercise can help prevent or manage common age-related conditions like:

  • Arthritis
  • High blood pressure
  • Diabetes
  • Balance issues

Summer is one of the best times to stay active, with longer days and better weather. However, exercising regularly can be tough for seniors living alone.

 

At Pomerelle Place, our amenities include fitness and wellness programs made just for seniors. Joining these programs can boost your energy, improve sleep, and lift your mood. They're also a great way to stay social and support community wellness by keeping your body and mind active together.

 

Leisure Time in Lounges and Activity Centers

As a senior, you're likely retired and have more free time than before. But finding active and enjoyable ways to spend that time can be hard, especially if you're alone or have limited options. Without a daily structure, it's easy to feel bored or disconnected.

 

At Pomerelle Place, we offer lounges and activity centers where you can relax and enjoy your day. You can:

  • Play cards with friends
  • Work on puzzles
  • Watch movies
  • Join group games like bingo
  • Read in a quiet corner

These spaces help fill your day with a sense of purpose and light activity. You stay engaged, laugh with others, and enjoy quality senior recreation in a safe, welcoming setting that feels like home.

 

Gardening and Nature Walks

Connecting with nature is good for the soul. Gardening offers you a chance to plant, water, and relish the results of your care. Whether you grow flowers or vegetables, the process brings quiet joy and a sense of purpose.

 

Nature walks offer a peaceful way to stay active. Paths that are flat and easy to walk make them perfect for a slow stroll with a friend or a quiet moment alone.

You might hear birds singing, feel a light breeze, or enjoy the sun on your face. These simple moments capture the beauty of outdoor fun, helping you move your body while enjoying everything the summer season brings.

 

Educational and Hobby-Based Activities

You're never too old to learn or try something new. In fact, summer is one of the best times to explore fresh interests. If you live in an assisted living community, take a look at the activities and programs available; you might be surprised at the variety.

You can:

  • Join a writing or poetry group
  • Try painting or crafts
  • Take part in book discussions
  • Learn simple tech skills
  • Attend fun trivia or quiz games

These programs help keep your mind active and your days meaningful. You don't need any experience -- just a willingness to try. Many of these seasonal events also bring people together, giving you the chance to share laughs, stories, and new discoveries with others.

 

Guest Visits and Family Time

You might have felt unsure about moving to Pomerelle Place because you didn't want to live away from your family. Like many others, you probably have kids and grandchildren you miss spending time with. But being in our community doesn't mean you stop seeing your loved ones.

 

One enjoyable summer activity is spending time with family when they visit. You can:

  • Share a meal together
  • Sit outside and talk
  • Go for a walk
