Our signature Whole Life Living™ program is what makes us so unique as it is designed around four vital facets that help residents live happy, healthy lives, all grounded in a socially connected environment. It incorporates activities that have produced optimal results for healthy aging. It meets residents in their health and wellness journey, encourages challenging the mind, being active, making nutritious diet choices, and building relationships.

Our activities and programs are specifically designed to engage our residents in four areas of wellness. They are part of our unique and integrated approach in caring for our residents, which includes getting to know each person as a whole - mentally, physically, socially, and emotionally. Our programs, activities, and events forge lasting relationships, and provide purpose, meaning, and, most importantly, choice. Residents enjoy annual community competitions, fitness incentive programs, music memories, discussion groups, resident meetings, corn hole, bocce ball, happy hours, arts & crafts, game time, out & about trips around the beautiful PNW, and GenSocial, to name a few.
