Life Enrichment


Painting workshop

The Life Enrichment Department provides a variety of recreational, cultural, physical and intellectual activities designed to meet the needs of individual residents.

Activity calendars for each floor are available at the front desk, posted outside the activity rooms in the home areas, and posted on the bulletin boards by the elevators on each floor at the beginning of the month, to assist families in planning their visits. A copy of the activity calendar is also delivered to each resident’s room at the beginning of the month.


The activity calendars consists of both facility wide activities and those that are floor specific for meeting individual population needs. The calendars are reviewed and changed monthly to incorporate changing entertainers, holidays or special occasions of the month, special events, and resident input and requests.
