We provide free programs and services to support health and adult education. Currently we host a weekly SAIL (Stay Active and Independent for Life) balance and fitness class. Residents completed surveys to indicate preferred activities. Rotating sessions feature Bingo, Dominoes and Bunko. Monthly arts and crafts are programed. "Meet Up" trips are in the plans for Senior Celebrations, Oktoberfest, Porthouse Theaters, and Soap Box Derby for Seniors.
