☀ FRESH AIR & SUNSHINE WALKS
June was filled with joy, activity, and meaningful connection here at Legacy. As always, our goal is to create moments that uplift the mind, body, and spirit of every resident in our care. Here are three highlights from this past month that brought smiles and lasting benefits to our community: Our residents spent more time outside this month enjoying Oklahoma’s warm summer mornings. Whether walking along the garden path, sitting under the shade with a friend, or enjoying a quiet moment on the patio, these outdoor moments were more than just leisure— they were good for the soul. Spending time in natural sunlight helps the body produce vitamin D, which supports immune function, bone strength, and mood stability.
Walking improves balance, circulation, and muscle strength, helping residents maintain their mobility and independence. Being outdoors also offers sensory stimulation and a peaceful environment that reduces stress and promotes better sleep. And perhaps most importantly, it creates space for conversation, laughter, and a simple sense of freedom.
🐶 VISITS FROM GRAHAM THE SERVICE DOG
Graham, a certified service dog, came to visit Legacy and instantly brought joy to every corner of the home. Residents lit up as they stroked his soft coat, asked about his training, and shared stories of their own pets from years past.
Moments like these provide emotional comfort and reduce feelings of loneliness. Interacting with animals has been shown to lower blood pressure, ease symptoms of anxiety, and trigger the release of serotonin and dopamine—natural chemicals that boost happiness and relaxation. For many residents, Graham’s visit was more than a cute moment—it was a reminder of unconditional love and connection.
🎲 Bingo & Game Time
Legacy residents gathered regularly this month for lively games of bingo, cards, and classic board games. These group activities quickly became one of the most anticipated parts of the week.
Games stimulate mental sharpness by encouraging memory, focus, and problem-solving. They also provide a healthy structure to the day, giving residents something to look forward to. Most importantly, they bring people together. Conversations flow, laughter is shared, and friendships are strengthened. Social engagement plays a key role in emotional wellness and is linked to slower cognitive decline—especially when paired with a little friendly competition!
