The Good Shepherd Home in Townsville believes that art and creativity are essential for enriching the lives of seniors. Through our tailored programs, residents in short term respite can explore creative expression in a supportive and inspiring environment. From art workshops to music therapy, we offer opportunities for relaxation, connection and self-expression that make every day more fulfilling.
The Power of Creativity in Residential Aged Care
Creative activities play a key role in enhancing the wellbeing of our residents. At The Good Shepherd Home, we offer a variety of programs that cater to all skill levels, ensuring everyone can enjoy the benefits of creativity. Residents can take part in painting, crafts and storytelling sessions that provide both mental stimulation and a sense of achievement.
For those staying with us for respite in Townsville, these same activities are available, giving guests the opportunity to connect with their creative side during their stay. Artistic expression has been shown to reduce stress, improve mood and even support cognitive function, making it a valuable part of daily life.
Building Connection Through Creative Expression
Art and creativity also bring people together. Group workshops and shared creative projects encourage residents to bond and collaborate, building friendships and a sense of community. Whether it’s joining a craft group or taking part in a discussion circle, these moments foster connection and belonging.
For seniors receiving short term respite, engaging in these activities helps them feel welcomed and included, creating a positive and uplifting experience. Our staff are always available to offer guidance and encouragement, ensuring every participant feels supported.
