At Green House® Cottages of Belle Meade, located in the heart of Paragould, Arkansas, we believe that each day should be filled with joy, laughter, and meaningful connections. One of the ways we ensure this for our elders is through our engaging games and activities, which have become an essential part of daily life here.
Among the favorites are Bingo and Balloon Ball—two activities that not only keep our elders active but also bring a sense of fun and excitement into their everyday routines. Bingo, in particular, has become a beloved tradition in all of our cottages. We play it weekly, and sometimes even more often, as it’s a time when both staff and elders can come together, chat, and simply enjoy each other's company.
But don’t be fooled—our Bingo games can get pretty competitive! With prizes on the line, everyone is eager to win, and the friendly rivalry adds to the thrill. Whether it's the joy of marking that final number or the excitement of shouting "Bingo!" first, there’s never a dull moment during our games.
Balloon Ball, another favorite, is a fantastic way for our elders to stay active while having fun. It’s light-hearted, full of laughter, and a great way to keep everyone moving. It’s played seated, and each person gets a cut down pool noodle. Using the pool noodle the object of the game is to keep the balloon in the air for as long as possible. When the balloon hits the ground, the game is over. Our elders and staff have so much fun with this game and it’s also great exercise!
These activities are more than just games—they’re opportunities for our elders to stay engaged, build connections, and create lasting memories. We’re proud to offer a variety of activities that cater to the interests and abilities of all our residents, ensuring that every day is full of joy and companionship.
At Green House® Cottages of Belle Meade, we’re not just a care facility; we’re a community where life is celebrated every day.
