At Brentwood Healthcare Center, family visits are more than just a pleasant moment—they’re a powerful part of overall wellness for residents. Whether it’s children stopping by after school or grandchildren visiting over the holidays, these connections leave a lasting impact.
Emotional Well-Being
Family visits bring joy, reduce feelings of loneliness, and help residents feel connected to their life outside of the community. A quick conversation, a shared laugh, or even a simple hug can lift a resident’s spirits for days.
Mental Engagement
Spending time with younger family members can spark memories and improve cognitive stimulation. Conversations, stories, and even helping with homework or crafts can create a sense of purpose and engagement.
Strengthening Identity
These interactions reinforce personal identity and belonging. They remind residents of their roles as parents, grandparents, and loved ones—a deeply meaningful part of emotional and social health.
Making It Easy to Visit
Brentwood encourages family involvement through regular events like holiday parties, happy hours, and arts and crafts that are open to all ages. We also collaborate with local groups to bring in volunteers, especially during the holiday season, creating even more opportunities for intergenerational connection.
