Themed Dinners and Cookouts
Any day can be turned into a special occasion with good food and good company! Themed dinners give everyone the opportunity to dress up and feel fully immersed in the event. Add in some extra decorations and you’re ready to party.
Nothing says summer quite like firing up the grill and having a good old fashioned cookout. From classic dishes to seasonally inspired favorites, our experienced chefs and dining team are busy making sure there is something on the table to delight each resident.
Ice Cream Sundaes
There’s always room for ice cream! Sometimes a sweet treat is the perfect way to cool down. That’s why sundaes are the perfect way to personalize your ice cream with tasty toppings - so you can enjoy dessert just the way you like.
Live Music and Dancing
Encore! Perfect for any age or ability, music transcends the barriers of language and allows the audience to feel the meaning of each song. Even for individuals who have difficulty expressing themselves verbally, music often finds a way to resonate on a deeper level.
From singers to instrumental groups, there are many types of music and different genres played to appeal to everyone’s musical preferences. Sometimes the performers will have an intentional dance-a-long prepared, while other times residents simply begin dancing on their own. Whether the music moves you to dance or you are content to sit and listen, music is a fun event for everyone!
Outdoor Patio Games
Games are a great way to build connections and foster friendly competition year-round, and playing them outside during the summer adds an extra layer of fun. From cards to board games and everything in between, it’s more fun when lounging in our cushioned outdoor furniture, surrounded by fresh blooms and greenery.
Gardening
Calling all green thumbs! Summer sunshine brings blooms of all shapes and colors. Providing residents the opportunity to help plants thrive and grow can be fun and rewarding.
The plants they care for add to the beauty of their gardens and courtyards. Residents also feel proud of their accomplishments as they see the visual representation of all their hard work and dedication spring to life.
