L - Learning
Oxford Vista Wichita aims to generate new opportunities to engage residents in a lifelong learning process and inspire them to be lifelong learners. We accommodate our activities to seven unique learning styles that include:
- Visual Learning
- Logical Learning
- Verbal Learning
- Physical Learning
- Aural Learning
- Social Learning
- Solitary Learning
E - Expressive
In this mode, we help residents use expressions to add meaning and purpose to their lives and those around them. Art, including music and writing, can bring into focus an important view of a person’s life and give them chances to speak through self-expression, self-exploration, and self-interpretation.
Expression is the light we all have. It’s finding it again that is sometimes the trick. LEGACY finds a way and makes programming around expression a core part of the week, the day, and the moments with our residents.
G - Gathering
When a person is aging, they can become isolated and distant from people. We find ways to bring individuals together in numerous social spaces, specially designed for movement and social interaction, taking place throughout the building. We also use the latest in interactive technology and find ways to create synergy within the community and with the families of the residents.
We are committed to keeping families part of care and part of our team of experts. New Home. New Neighbors. New Relationships. Learning to come together with a whole new group of people and make meaningful times with one another is a huge part of LEGACY!
A - Active
We encourage residents to keep moving physically and mentally. Whether it’s gentle exercise, walking groups, or brain-stimulating activities, every step counts, regardless of age.
C - Community
We want to make a difference in how the meaning of community is redefined – through interaction and development within our building, our extended family, and our city. We are a community hub that gives back too, being involved with day cares, high schools, nursing schools, and colleges.
Building a community is not just an idea we toss around. We take every day as an opportunity to create that sense of home and make your home a place people love to come visit and live.
Y - Youth
Growing the bonds between generations can lead to an extension of the legacy that a person can leave. The interaction that we can do with youth and elders enriches lives and our program over the long haul.
Building a bridge with our residents to young people is a goal of LEGACY. The wisdom, stories, and life they have to share are vast and interesting.
