With a focus on socialization, activities include cognitive stimulation through brain games, meaningful activities, group exercise, a creative arts program, discussion groups, public outings and interaction with participant centric entertainment, including singing, dance and memory challenges. The program provides the latest in proven therapeutic methods for increased levels of happiness and engagement for all members.
