HOW DO I AFFORD ALL THIS?

Discovering New Hobbies For Seniors With Assisted Living in North Austin

Finding new passions as we age can sometimes feel challenging. There are so many hobbies for seniors to explore in the world, but where should retirees start?

Thanks to the Passion Program available at Tech Ridge Oaks, a senior community providing memory care and assisted living in North Austin, residents rediscover hobbies and learn new ones every day.

If you’re looking into new hobbies for seniors, take some inspiration from the “Techies” of Tech Ridge Oaks.

What are hobbies for seniors?

After retirement, seniors suddenly find themselves with 40 extra hours every week. That’s a fantastic time to:

  • Continue learning with community college courses or foreign language study
  • Volunteer at a museum, library, sporting event, or shelter
  • Travel to study history or family genealogy
  • Connect to nature through hiking, photography, and conservation causes

With the Passion Program available to seniors at North Austin’s Tech Ridge Oaks, dreams come true every day. These retirees get to explore any hobby or activity that they want.

Stay Moving

Tech Ridge Oaks residents power up every morning with seated exercise to get the blood flowing. Seniors interested in boosting physical activity have many options when it comes to staying in shape:

  • Chair yoga
  • Walking
  • Tai chi
  • Golf
  • Balloon volleyball

Stay Connected

Many older people enjoy games like dominoes, poker, or bridge to stay active socially. In the Passion Program, every day is a social event, and you’ll find residents working on puzzles, playing bingo, and even shooting a little pool.

Stay Creative

Whether building, painting, singing, or dancing, taking an interest in creative pursuits gives seniors a chance to express themselves and show the world their talents.

Why do seniors need hobbies?

Everyone, not just seniors, can benefit from hobbies. For the most part, finding leisurely pursuits didn’t become popular until the Great Depression. They picked up again during WWII, and the current pandemic has hobbies reaching their peak.

The history of hobbies teaches us: people need something to do when they’re not working.

Fun activities give people purpose, a way to connect, and offer an outlet. The top reasons for seniors to find a hobby include:

  • Increasing cognitive ability and reducing dementia risk
  • Reducing senior isolation
  • Reducing blood pressure
  • Finding purpose and accomplishing goals
  • Increasing mobility
  • Better mental health through reducing anxiety and depression
