21st Century Programming

Lifelong Learning for Vibrant Minds & High Spirits

Learning begins with enthusiasm. The number one question senior living residents ask is, “How do I achieve better brain health & avoid cognitive decline?” We provide learning opportunities that enable people to make decisions and create personal plans for healthy living.
 
Classic education and lectures no longer fit. Residents want to learn how the past influences the present and how creative thinking skills can help us solve complex problems. A lifelong learning program is a foundation for building a healthier quality of life. Changes in our behavior happen because we have learned new information.

First, residents want new and fresh programming.

Second, residents and staff want to learn new things and create a healthier lifestyle NOW.
Third, residents and staff want to engage with the experts. They want to ask questions and join discussions in real time.
