The holiday season is a special time at Village at Oakwood, where we blend cherished traditions with warm, community-centered celebrations. As a trusted option for assisted living in Oklahoma City and a welcoming OKC assisted living community, we understand how meaningful this season is for residents and their families. Our goal is to create joy-filled experiences that honor personal traditions while introducing new moments residents can look forward to year after year.

Celebrating the Season Together

The halls of Village at Oakwood come alive with festive décor, sparkling lights, and familiar seasonal music. Our team plans a full calendar of holiday activities for seniors, offering opportunities to connect, reminisce, and enjoy the comfort of shared celebration. From themed meals to musical performances, each event is designed to bring warmth and belonging to our senior living community.

Families often ask how holidays work in assisted living, and the answer is simple: we celebrate together. Our holiday gatherings are open and family-friendly, making family visits during holidays easy and enjoyable. Whether joining residents for a community dinner or participating in intergenerational holiday crafts, families play a big role in our seasonal traditions.

Honoring Traditions—Old and New

Many families want to know whether residents can continue their own traditions. Absolutely. We deeply value senior holiday traditions, and our team helps residents incorporate cultural, spiritual, or family customs into their daily lives. Whether it’s attending a faith-based service, baking a favorite recipe, or decorating personal living spaces, we encourage bringing family traditions to assisted living in ways that feel meaningful and accessible.

We also ensure our holiday calendar is inclusive. From assisted living Christmas celebrations to Hanukkah, non-religious winter festivities, and other holiday traditions, we celebrate a diverse array of traditions. For those in need of extra emotional support during the holidays, our caregivers and life enrichment staff provide understanding, companionship, and uplifting activities.

Holiday Activities Residents Love

Festivities at Village at Oakwood include crafts, card-making, cookie decorating, music programs, and storytelling, plus signature retirement community events our residents look forward to each year. For individuals in memory care, we offer comforting and engaging memory care holiday events, thoughtfully adapted for cognitive support.

We also host special elderly care holiday programs such as charity drives, musical guests, and scenic light-viewing outings. These events are among the many reasons families exploring retirement living in Oklahoma appreciate our vibrant lifestyle options.

Tips for Family Visits

If you’re planning a holiday visit, consider bringing meaningful items like ornaments, photos, or music your loved one enjoys. Small traditions like reading a favorite story, sharing a treat, or attending an event together mean so much.
