Celebrating the Art of Tea at Aravilla!
New residents, Dorli & Bill, travel to jolly old England at our latest Tea Party.
At Aravilla Sarasota, we hold “Tea Parties” every month. They aren’t literally tea parties, but instead are monthly themed events that typically correspond to the season or are just random fun. These parties date back to when Aravilla first opened its doors and were originally gatherings where tea was actually served in the name of collecting money for a charity. Attendees are encouraged to donate as little or as much money as they like. The residents of Aravilla Sarasota choose a worthy cause to donate to and at the end of the year Aravilla matches any donations made by the community. In the past, Make-A-Wish was one of the charities that was donated to. This year, the residents are contemplating on donating to the charity Tunnels to Towers, which provides housing and resources to veterans and their families. These parties also provide chances for socialization to all who come. Socialization pro vides many benefits to seniors such as promoting good mental health through boosting mood, creating a sense of belonging, increasing stress management skills, and reducing risk of depression. Regular socialization can help you live a longer and happier life, so be sure to attend our monthly tea parties and all the other community events held here at Aravilla!

How Daily Routines Improve Mental Health
Structure in daily routines can significantly impact our psychological well-being, offering a myriad of benefits that extend beyond mere scheduling to deeply affect mental health. Research shows that routines are calming, reduce anxiety, and help control your life, which can be particularly reassuring for those who may feel overwhelmed by uncertainty or changes in their daily lives. Knowing what to expect each day helps reduce the cognitive load associated with decision-making and planning, thereby decreasing stress levels. For these reasons & more your Activities Department has printed Daily Schedules to keep you engaged & entertained every day. Be sure to pick one up today.
