Activities Based Approach

Offering Structure and Support

At The Heritage, our life enrichment calendar of activities offers a base foundation of structure and support to promote consistency and continuity in life.  However, we strongly hold an attitude of flexibility and incorporate individual interests and desires into everyday life.  In addition to our monthly community calendar, we integrate special events and activities that reflect personal passions of our residents and staff such as musical events, animal assisted interventions, individual hobbies, etc.

We also take into consideration that there may be times in the evening and night time hours when people are unable to sleep and will need personal interaction.  We have planned for these situations and offer a variety of activities that are less stimulating and allow for interaction and engagement.  These activities are personalized for the needs of the individual at that time and focus on promoting relaxation and rest.
