Many seniors and their families worry that living in a senior living community can become isolating. That’s why Buckner Retirement Services encourages a range of activities offsite through group outings.

Residents must stay active in the retirement community and are part of their larger community. There are several types of senior group outings to keep residents active and connected.

Cultural outings

There are endless opportunities to explore Texas culture when it comes to senior group outings in Texas. Transportation services can get residents to a museum to learn about the community’s history.

There is also a variety of art museums where residents can spend the afternoon immersed in the works of both local and national artists. Exploring the culture of Texas is good for the mind, body and soul, and it can be a good way to balance out the routine of everyday life.

Cultural outings can also spark interest in a new hobby or even present opportunities to meet local artists. Retirement is a wonderful time to spend exploring the art and history of your area in a way you may not have had time to before.

Shopping trips

Everyone deserves a little shopping excursion to either treat themselves or shop for a loved one from time to time. Sometimes finding the time to get your shopping done can be a challenge, so it can be helpful to take advantage of group transportation and make an afternoon of it.

Whether it is an outing to a shopping mall or a local boutique, shopping is one of the popular types of senior group outings.

Entertainment outings 

Texas has an abundance of entertainment options, from live theatres to movie theaters to concerts. Some venues even set aside special days that cater to group activities for seniors in Texas.

From opera to jazz to action movies, there are entertainment options for all preferences and tastes. An evening of live entertainment is a wonderful way to venture outside of the retirement community, connect with residents, and build relationships in the larger community.

Nature trips 

It is important to stay active and get plenty of fresh air in retirement. It can be easy to get into staying indoors, even with an active lifestyle. That’s why nature trips make for great senior group outings in Texas.

Residents can enjoy a leisurely walk through a park, a challenging hike on a trail, or simple bird watching on the outskirts of town. Texas offers warm weather almost year-round, so there are opportunities to explore nature in all seasons.

Spending a morning or afternoon in nature is a wonderful way to connect and reset and also contributes to overall wellness.
