Residents Enter a 'World of Pure Imagination' at Pelican Landing Assisted Living and Memory Care

VERO BEACH, Fla., Dec. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A Golden Ticket was available for all of the residents of Pelican Landing Assisted Living and Memory Care to enter a magical 'world of pure imagination' as the community was transformed into Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

Residents and guests were greeted by a full cast of Pelican Landing associates dressed impeccably as the Oompa Loompas, a colorful Violet Beauregarde, Veruca Salt, Grandpa Joe and Willy Wonka himself. The community was adorned with purple and gold balloons, festive photo backdrops and mouth-watering displays of sweets reminiscent of the scenes from the movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

These unique events are part of the Live Exhilarated™ program at Pelican Landing Assisted Living and Memory Care, a Watercrest Senior Living community.  At Pelican Landing, residents are engaging in diverse and enriching programs whose benefits greatly exceed the traditional activities typically found in senior living communities. The Live Exhilarated™ program includes thoughtfully planned, multi-part programs inspired by individual resident's passions and interests which align with the seven facets of wholeness: Get Active, Be Curious, Get Connected, Be Uplifted, Get Creative, Be Social, Be Adventurous. 

"Transforming our community into the real-life experience of a classic childhood movie provides multiple benefits for both associates and residents," says James Brassard, Senior Executive Director of Pelican Landing Assisted Living and Memory Care. "We are encouraging engagement, interaction, and creativity, while also sparking fond memories for our seniors."
