WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) —Cumberland Pointe Health Assisted Living held its carnival today.
Residents enjoyed face painting, cotton candy, a tank and great food, and of course, a carnival is never complete without animals. So some friendly Llamas came to visit and enjoy the fun too.
Cumberland Pointe Health Director of Social Work Vanessa Sowders feels that fun events like this are so important to residents living in assisted living for a number of reasons.
“It is very important for socialization. It just helps with communication, it helps with mood, it helps with depression. It also helps people get out of their room especially since Covid. People just felt isolated. It just helps so much and brings people around for camaraderie,” Vanessa Sowders said.
