Senior citizens at some retirement communities often struggle to find meaningful ways to bond and build friendships.  Not at Prairie Homestead!

Watching classic movies together can be a great way to bring seniors together and create a sense of community. This type of activity provides a shared experience that can be enjoyed and discussed afterwards. Organizing a movie night for seniors in a retirement community can be an easy and fun way to encourage socializing and build friendships. Many seniors may have fond memories of watching classic movies as children or with friends as adults. This can be a great way to bring back nostalgia and spark conversations.

The first step to organizing a movie night for seniors is to select the movie. This can be done by having a discussion with the seniors and finding out what type of movies peak their interests. It can also be helpful to look up classic movies from the golden age of Hollywood. Many of these movies have great stories, which can be appreciated by all generations.

Once the movie is chosen, the next step would be to secure a space for the movie night. Retirement communities may already have a communal space or theater that can be used. Alternatively, the movie can be shown in a resident’s apartment, depending on the size of the group.

Another important factor to consider is the snacks and refreshments. Popcorn, candy, and drinks are all great options for movie night snacks. Setting up a snack bar or assigning snacks to each person can be a great way to encourage socialization and get everyone involved.

​Overall, movie night can be a great way to bring seniors together and create a sense of community. Not only can it foster new friendships, but it can also provide a shared experience that can be enjoyed and discussed afterwards. With the right movie and snacks, seniors can enjoy a night of nostalgia that will bring everyone closer!
