Home for the residents at Red Rock Pointe Retirement Community is a special place any given time of the year. With first-class amenities and all-inclusive services, the residents are able to fully enjoy a stress-free retirement, but home has extra poignant meaning during the holidays.
“For many of our residents, this is their home and their family,” explained Dana Andreski, Director of Field Operations at Red Rock Pointe Retirement Community. “Not everyone has the opportunity to travel or spend time with extended family, so we make the holidays here feel just as special, filling the season with connection, celebration, and a true sense of belonging.” Red Rock Pointe continues to shine as a recognized leader in senior living by engaging residents’ interests with activities that “broaden their minds, fitness programs that help them thrive, and moments of joy that feed their spirit.”
This is especially important around the holiday season when loneliness and sadness threaten to isolate many who struggle with being away from loved ones. And with a number of activities and programs as diverse as the people who make up Red Rock Pointe, Dana and her team are committed to fulfilling the needs of each resident–physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Whether it is Christmas or any other religious holiday observed during the festive period, the celebration is all about cultivating connection and building community.
“Intergenerational visits—like the Kinsella Angels’ high school seniors spending time playing games with our residents or Las Vegas Troop 7737 filling the halls with Christmas carols, bring such warmth and joy to our community,” Dana shared. “Our seasonally themed happy hours, leading up to our festive holiday banquets, leave residents happily exhausted and completely uplifted by the celebration.”
The simple joys of the holiday season are found in activities enjoyed together like baking, decorating the tree in the dining room, and watching holiday classic movies. Highly anticipated events also include those outside Red Rock Pointe. “Special outings to view iconic holiday decorations and lights, such as the Bellagio Conservatory or Ethel M’s Chocolate Factory, are places that our residents look forward to during the holiday season.”
Reminiscing on holidays past and sharing beloved traditions with one another is how residents and staff further connect and stay engaged in their community, inside and outside the walls of Red Rock Pointe, which is a drop-off location for Toys for Tots. “Having this,” explained Dana, “also gives the residents a sense of purpose.”
Lights may noticeably shine brighter, and halls may be livelier with seasonal adornments during the holidays, but Red Rock Pointe Retirement Community embodies the spirit of humanity year-round.
“The value we uphold in listening to our residents’ needs and wants is a testament in creating the most inviting independent senior living atmosphere,” Dana shared. “The fact that Red Rock Pointe Retirement Community is a special place is a reflection on the unique individuals who choose to reside here, given their individuality and the variety of interest they bring to this community.”
For many of our residents, this is their home and their family.
