Activities

Some days it's a group program in one of the large activity rooms. Other days it's something one-on-one, or a program led by someone who comes in from outside. Residents choose what they join, and the resident council helps plan what comes next.

Meals

Residents eat together in the dining rooms, with options at every meal, so they have a choice and a say in what's on their plate.
