Senior Living News & Events

We believe that the smallest moments can hold the deepest meaning. When Ralph, a resident with a lifelong appreciation for building, started assembling LEGO flowers, it became more than just an activity—it was a bridge to cherished memories, a celebration of his skills, and a connection to the people he loves.

 

Recently, one of our households introduced a unique activity—a Plum Blossom Flower LEGO set. While LEGO might not be the first thing that comes to mind for older adults, this particular kit was a perfect fit for Ralph.

 

Ralph used to buy LEGO kits for his grandkids and spend hours assembling them together. Michelle, a household staff member shared, “When we showed Ralph the intricate flower set, he was fascinated. I asked if he would help me build it, and he eagerly agreed.” With a background in the parts department of a plumbing and heating company, Ralph appreciated the precision of each tiny piece and marveled at how they fit together.

 

Over the course of two days, Ralph and staff carefully built the flower LEGO set, piece by piece. The result wasn’t just a beautiful creation—it was a reminder of cherished memories and the skills Ralph has always taken pride in. Now, the completed flower sits in his room, a symbol of accomplishment and a story he can share with his family.

 

At Chapel Pointe, we know that meaningful activities go beyond simple entertainment. They are a way to honor our residents’ pasts, celebrate their passions, and create new moments of joy. And sometimes, all it takes is a few tiny LEGO bricks to bring it all together.
