Activities
at CCEC
Specially-Trained Activities
Staff
We employ three specially-trained staff members in order to provide a varied schedule of daily activities. This includes exercise/movement classes, crafts, games, parties, captioned films, and informational classes and speakers.
Escorted Trips
Escorted trips are provided to restaurants and to other
socialization / recreation activities. This includes
seasonal events such as trips to see holiday lights and the
4th of July fireworks. In addition, one major out of town
trip is offered annually for those who are able to
participate. Some previous trips have been to Walt Disney
World, New England and the Smokey Mountains.
Computers
Installed for Resident Use
Columbus Colony Elderly Care
took a big step forward by installing computers for resident
use. These computers are connected to the Internet so
residents can write their loved ones and receive immediate
responses to their messages. There are also games installed
on these computers for the leisurely enjoyment of the
residents. It is our interest to expand this service and add
features for more accessibility. In this capacity we are
accepting for donation Pentium class PCs or PowerPC class
Apples to expand some of these capabilities.
Outside Talent Groups
Regularly Scheduled
The residents of CCEC are
often treated to outside talent groups. These groups are
accompanied by an ASL interpreter or closed captioning.
Volunteers Needed
Volunteers
fill a critical role in the activities department. A volunteer
coordinator
connects the talents of the volunteers to the needs of the
residents. The relationship enhances the quality of life for
the volunteer and the resident. Send a message to volunteer
coordinator Barbara Fox (pictured above) to
volunteer at CCEC.
