A Wonderful Active Lifestyle

Our Life Enrichment activities include church services, cards, puzzles, exercise, bible study and let’s not forget about BINGO! Music, bands, dancing and shopping excursions to various destinations are also apart of our active schedule. Our Brentmoor bus system goes for “Joy Rides” often as well. In the summer months you might catch our residents taking our Life Enrichment Director led dining experience tour.

They might go to little town in the area where some of our residents farmed in their younger years to enjoy a meal at the local diner and hear many stories about the “good ole’ days”! In the winter we stay in town but find as many ways as possible to enjoy the season. Children’s choirs, hand bell choirs and polka music can often be heard in our community, laughter can be heard in the hallways and always a friendly “Hello”. The residents are free to participate in as many or as few of these activities that they would like.
