Enriching Lives Through Vibrant Activities: A Look at Peters Creek’s Social and Wellness Programs

At Peters Creek Retirement Community in Redmond, Washington, we believe that a fulfilling life is built on connection, purpose, and joy. For over 30 years, our assisted living, memory care, respite care, and Day Stay programs have empowered residents and guests to thrive through thoughtfully designed social and wellness activities. Our vibrant programs nurture the mind, body, and spirit, creating a warm, engaging community where every day brings new opportunities for growth and happiness.

A Diverse Calendar of Activities for Every Interest

Our activity calendar is the heartbeat of Peters Creek, offering a rich variety of programs tailored to the unique needs and preferences of our assisted living, memory care, respite care, and Day Stay participants. Whether it’s a morning fitness class, an afternoon art workshop, or an evening music performance, our activities are designed to spark joy and foster connection.

• Fitness and Wellness: Our group exercise classes, such as chair yoga and gentle stretching, promote physical health and mobility. These sessions, led by trained staff, are adapted to support residents in assisted living and memory care, as well as Day Stay guests, ensuring everyone can participate comfortably.
• Creative Expression: From painting classes to gardening in our serene meditation garden, creative activities encourage self-expression and mental stimulation. Memory care residents, in particular, benefit from sensory-focused crafts that evoke comfort and engagement.
• Social and Cultural Outings: We organize group outings to Redmond’s local attractions, such as Marymoor Park or nearby cultural events, allowing respite care and Day Stay participants to explore the community alongside residents. These outings build camaraderie and create lasting memories.
• Music and Entertainment: Live music performances and interactive sing-alongs are a favorite, especially for memory care residents, as music has been shown to reduce stress and improve mood. According to a 2023 study by the National Institute on Aging, music-based activities can enhance cognitive function and emotional well-being in seniors with dementia.

“The activity program at Peters Creek is truly special,” says our Activities Director, Jane Thompson. “We see residents and Day Stay guests light up when they engage in something meaningful, whether it’s planting flowers in the garden or sharing stories during a group discussion. It’s about creating moments of joy and connection every day.”

The Power of Day Stay: A Flexible Way to Experience Our Community

Our Day Stay program offers seniors a unique opportunity to experience the vibrancy of Peters Creek without a long-term commitment. Perfect for those exploring care options or needing daytime support, Day Stay guests join our full activity schedule, from fitness classes to social events, while receiving personalized care from our certified nursing staff. It’s also a valuable resource for caregivers seeking respite, knowing their loved ones are in a nurturing, engaging environment.

One Day Stay participant shared, “I look forward to my days at Peters Creek. The activities keep me active, and I’ve made friends who feel like family. It’s a place where I feel truly cared for.”

Why Activities Matter: The Science of Engagement

Engaging activities are more than just fun—they’re essential for senior health. Research from the Journal of Gerontology (2024) shows that regular social and physical activities can reduce the risk of depression and improve cognitive health in older adults. At Peters Creek, we design our programs with this evidence in mind, ensuring that every activity supports holistic well-being. For memory care residents, structured activities provide routine and comfort, while assisted living and Day Stay participants enjoy opportunities to stay active and connected.
