A Day in the Life

  • Start the day off right!
    With the help of our staff, residents will join each other downstairs and prepare their breakfast.
  • Tap into your inner artist during our guided music session.
    From the bongo to piano, we have a range of instruments to chose from.
  • Fuel up on lunch.
    Dig into a tasty meal that is fresh, low in sugar and most importantly, delicious!
  • Be a part of the community.
    At the local food banks we help others in need and meet locals from the neighbourhood.
  • Relax and unwind during free time.
    Whether you are in the mood to read by the fire, play a game or have down time in your apartment, the choice is all yours.
  • Join in and be a ‘sous chef’.
    Each day residents have an opportunity to take turns in helping to plan, prepare and clean up after dinner.
  • The good times keep coming!
    Round off the day with a movie night and healthy snack.

Did you know that regular exercise helps to produce chemicals in your brain that make you feel good?
This can reduce anxiety, depression, ADHD and more!
