We serve adults of all ages.
We promote and assist with social experiences.
In all tiers, residents are continuously learning life skills, from sweeping to budgeting.
Our residents enjoy meaningful volunteer work, supported employment, and competitive employment.
Resident Activities
Our 40 residents are activity enthusiasts. Residents initiate requests for activities. They vote on the movies to go to in a group. Families are invited to host activities. Staff is challenged to set up new and different activities along with old favorites. Activities during the pandemic have been different, and we’re all looking forward to getting back to normal.
