Hestia Health Residencia Esquerdo held another edition of its summer outing to San Juan Reservoir. A day outdoors designed to promote residents’ emotional wellbeing, social participation and independence.
The activity forms part of the Leisure, Social Participation and Healthy Habits Promotion programmes, integrated into the centre’s Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) programme. These initiatives extend support beyond the residential setting and encourage participation in real community spaces.
After travelling by bus, each participant could choose activities according to their interests and abilities. Options included bathing, swimming, walks and ball games, alongside quieter alternatives such as board games, conversation and breaks at local establishments.
Outings like this encourage an active life, reinforce skills and strengthen relationships between peers, while helping build confidence in everyday settings.
At the end of the day, participants expressed their satisfaction at sharing a fun, different and uplifting experience. This is also our aim at Hestia Health: to create meaningful experiences that promote each person’s independence, participation and quality of life.
