Life Enrichment Program

At every community, our dedicated activities team develops an extensive calendar tailored to your specific needs and preferences. We offer a blend of activities and outings that enrich the body, mind, and spirit. Activities range from weekly field trips into the community, to on-site performers, visiting school children and therapy animals, various groups and games to play, and of course, plenty of Bingo!

Communities also organize plenty of special events throughout the year. These may include cookouts in the summer, Mother and Fathers’ Day buffet luncheons, annual holiday parties, Sunday dinners and a trip to the drive-in theater complete with popcorn and candy. We also encourage family and friends to participate in any of these activities.

Common activities include:

• On-site Movie Events
• Seasonal Holiday Celebrations
• Current Events Discussions
• Religious and Worship Services
• Summer and Weekend BBQs
• Outdoor Events
• Bingo & Games
