Real Activities + Real Interests = Real Enjoyment

 

The Activity Department serves the needs of all of our residents.. We offer a variety of programs that reflect every resident’s interests. Programs and activities are developed through Resident Council meetings, leisure assessments and daily conversation with our residents. This enables Great Northern to provide residents with enjoyable quality physical, cognitive and emotional programming to fully enjoy.

Calendars and newsletters are always available for residents, family and friends. Monthly calendars are always posted beside elevator doors on each floor to keep our residents informed. We encourage friends and family to participate in any of our programs. There are a variety of areas within the home for resident socials and get togethers. We also post upcoming events on Facebook.

 

We welcome all suggestions for new ways residents can enjoy an active lifestyle.
