Daily Life

Residents enjoy encouragement and friendship through daily social and recreational activities. These activities are planned and supervised by our activity coordinator (our AC does not supervise all activities). Each activity is specially-designed to combine socialization with therapeutic intervention.

ACTIVITIES

Special events, parties, outside social, and leisure activities are scheduled regularly. Our daily routine of social and leisure activities is designed to respond to all of the residents needs. We encourage family and friends to  join  in any of the activities and events, especially holiday parties. All of our residents are invited and encouraged to attend and participate in the activities; however some residents may choose to just observe or decline to join in. We honor the residents’ rights to make choices and we will offer alternative events and activities as appropriate.

VISITING HOURS

We have no set visiting hours. Families are welcome at any time of the day or night. All we ask is that you consider the routine of other residents who might go to sleep early. We strongly encourage the families to be involved in the resident’s life. It gives the residents continuity.

Families are also welcome to have meals with the residents, free of charge. We ask however that you give us a few hours notice so that our kitchen staff can make sure there is enough for everyone.

The residents may leave with family any time. We do not allow res  idents to leave unaccompanied. We will not let a resident leave with someone that we are unfamiliar with unless we first obtain permission from the responsible party.
