A Wonderful Active Lifestyle

At Emeritus at Garrison Creek Lodge, we have designed an outstanding life enrichment program that helps our residents remain active and engaged. Our rich and varied activities program is tailored to our residents’ interests, skills and abilities - not a one-size-fits-all program. We offer a monthly calendar filled with a variety of entertainers, activities, classes and craft programs – as well as many offsite excursions and outings.

Fine Dining

As we age, we don’t lose our taste for good food! And, retirement dining has never been so good. Our Dining Services staff prepares three home-cooked meals per day, served restaurant style in our elegant Dining Room. Residents have a number of entree choices to choose from and a salad bar is available at both lunch and dinner. Snacks are always available throughout the day, and a snack cart is delivered directly to residents’ rooms in the evenings.
