Social Opportunities
Special Interest groups include:
Individual Activities
The Activities Staff organizes chess, checkers and other one-on-one games for those so interested. They also devise specific activities for those with memory loss problems who need the comfort of familiar repetitive actions to lower fear or frustration levels, which enhances their safety and builds self esteem.
Entertainment and Performances
Weekly guest performers and demonstrations by experts from the community provide entertainment as well as added exposure to a mixture of local cultural activities and the arts.
