West Farm Residents Enjoy Summer Art Classes

This summer, residents at West Farm have been enjoying weekly art classes that bring out their creativity and offer a great way to stay active. The sessions are filled with painting, crafting and plenty of smiles, providing both fun and important health benefits.

Art activities like these are more than just a hobby. They help residents stay mentally sharp by encouraging them to think creatively and solve problems. Plus, the physical act of painting or crafting improves hand-eye coordination and keeps their motor skills in check. It’s a simple and enjoyable way to stay active and engaged.

Zara Karimi, West Farm’s manager, has noticed the positive effects: “Our residents really look forward to the art classes. It’s wonderful to see them so focused and happy during these sessions. The classes have become an important part of their routine, helping them stay connected and fulfilled. The sessions play a key role in promoting the overall wellbeing of  our residents. It’s all about ensuring that everyone here stays active, connected and, most importantly, happy.
