Some of the Best Ways to Get the New Year Started in Folsom

Use these ideas to have your best year yet

2022 is finally here, and what better place to celebrate than in California? At Creekside Oaks Retirement Community in Folsom, California, we provide plenty of opportunities for our residents to enjoy themselves and achieve their goals right here at home. But due to our amazing location, our active seniors can choose to take advantage of nearby activities and events, as well! Our expert team has put together some of our favorite ways to celebrate and start the new year strong at our community. Please note, we want all of our residents to enjoy themselves, but we also ask that you gather safely.

At Creekside Oaks

There’s no need to step outside the community gates if you’re looking to kick off the new year. Instead, gather around with your loved ones and take advantage of our amenities. Below are some great ideas to get you inspired.

• If you’re looking for more ways to socialize, gather in our community areas with your fellow residents for a celebration together. Try making the event a potluck where everyone can bring one of their favorite dishes or drinks. Everyone can always bond over food!
• Are you trying to get more exercise? Try joining one of our many workout classes. We offer various workouts from yoga, aerobic, and more every day! If you haven’t found a favorite yet, we bet you will at one of our senior group exercise classes.
• Volunteering is always a great way to start the year. As you’re giving to others, you feel the warmth within. So sign up for one of the many volunteer opportunities and service programs offered: food and clothing drives, household items for Women of Abuse, letters to our troops, recycling programs, and more.
