Every resident’s day is a little different, because staff follow each person’s routine. This is how a typical day in the community runs, from breakfast to bedtime.
Morning: breakfast and a slow start
Staff help residents who need it to get up, washed and dressed. Medications are given on schedule, breakfast is cooked in the kitchen, and a morning snack follows.

Midday: lunch, and time to rest
Lunch is cooked fresh in the community and served at the table, with puréed, mechanical and renal diets for those who need them. Afterwards, some residents rest while others stay for conversation.
Afternoon: cards, crafts and visitors
Afternoons are for cards and games, music, crafts, a book club or a hair and nail spa day. Families are welcome to drop in until 6 pm.
