Recreation & Education

Plan your next adventure

New senior resident activities every month

With the Residents’ Planning Committee, you are in charge of your next adventure! Resident initiated activities are planned every month in collaboration with our Life Enrichment Staff and help you shape your retirement lifestyle. These include spiritual practices, educational classes and lectures, live music, game-playing, art workshops and more, whatever residents are requesting or leaning towards. We have a vibrant artist community with various expressions and monthly art exhibits on-site.
