A Spring Outing to the Garden Center

Led by Engage Life Program Instructor Janet and our Driver, Wilner, residents recently enjoyed a delightful outing to a local garden center, where they selected a beautiful assortment of flowers and plants for our raised beds, courtyard planters and their apartments. The trip offered a wonderful opportunity to welcome the season, and take in the colors and fragrances of spring.

Conversation and Cordials

Engage Life member Malcolm hosts a weekly evening gathering called Conversation and Cordials—and it’s a resident favorite!

Each week, residents come together to discuss current events, share personal talents, and enjoy meaningful conversation in a relaxed, social setting. The evenings are often filled with laughter, thoughtful insights, and even a little a ca****la, as one resident breaks into song.

It’s a wonderful example of the connection, engagement, and vibrant spirit that make our community feel like home.
