Assisted Living Activities at The Gables at Spring Lake

Life at The Gables Assisted Living at Spring Lake is designed to be full. Full of laughter, connection, purpose, and freedom. Our residents enjoy an active and engaging lifestyle, where every day brings something new to do and someone new to talk to.

Located in Shreveport, LA, The Gables offers a community where seniors thrive. Our assisted living activities are built around joy, independence, and choice. Residents can join in as much or as little as they like, enjoying programs that range from social gatherings and fitness classes to creative workshops and community outings.

Bringing Joy to Everyday Life

Our senior life enrichment programs are about more than filling time. They’re about living life fully. Every activity we plan is designed to keep residents active and connected.

That might look like a morning stretch class, an afternoon of painting, or an evening spent laughing over a game of cards. Some residents love gardening in our sunny outdoor spaces, while others enjoy reading groups or friendly trivia nights. Each program encourages creativity and friendship.

And because our residents live in private apartments with full kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas, they always have the comfort of their own home to return to. They can come and go freely, cook their favorite meal, or simply relax between events. It’s independence supported by community.

Senior Life Enrichment Programs

Our dedicated Life Enrichment Coordinator works closely with residents to plan activities that create new experiences both on-site and in the local community. It’s a proven fact that active seniors lead richer, more fulfilled lives, and our programs are built to support that truth. We work with residents to create new experiences, both in-house and in our community. So, if there’s something you want to see here, just let us know! We’ll help you set it up.

Activities for Active Seniors

Many of our residents lead active lifestyles, and we make it easy for them to stay active! Regular physical activity helps seniors maintain mobility, balance, and strength, so we incorporate fitness into our weekly routine. Activities for active seniors at The Gables include guided exercise classes (like chair yoga, stretching, and light aerobics), walking clubs around our scenic grounds, and even dance sessions or rhythmic movement classes for fun. Our staff is always nearby to lend a hand or encouragement, ensuring that everyone can participate safely.

We also understand that “active” means more than just physical exercise. It’s about staying actively engaged in life. Residents who are able often venture out with family or independently, and our assisted living model encourages personal freedom. Want to spend an afternoon out with friends or attend a grandchild’s recital? No problem! Our residents can sign out and enjoy outings on their own schedule. For planned group excursions, our team organizes frequent off-site trips (with provided transportation) so that all residents, including those who don’t drive, can experience local parks, shopping, restaurants, and cultural events. We ensure that active seniors never have to slow down unless they want to.

Spring Lake Assisted Living Events

Monthly Activities Calendar

Residents receive a monthly activities calendar that lets them know about scheduled events. Family and friends are always welcome to join our events, too. We love seeing multi-generational fun in our halls. Many residents invite their loved ones to birthday celebrations, cookouts, and community gatherings, making these events feel like big family get-togethers. We also encourage residents to take the lead in some activities: a Resident Council meets to suggest new ideas, and those who enjoy planning often help our staff with event prep or decorating.
