Activities enrich life at The Glen
There are many benefits to moving to a Life Plan Community like The Glen, including chef-prepared meals in the dining room, new neighbors to get to know, and access to state-of-the-art healthcare services.
However, for many residents, it’s the events, programs, and other opportunities available right down the hall that make life more vibrant, engaging, and fun.
Social Events
Residents at Life Plan Communities are often finding fun and fellowship over an event centered around food. Whether it be ice cream socials in Stiles, out trips to dinner at restaurants around town with Redbrook, cold sweet treats in Village Health Care, watermelon parties at The Cottages, or the campus-wide cookout that The Glen hosted to celebrate Older Americans Month – there are always events on the activity calendars that offer ways for friends to get together and enjoy good food and good company.
Guest Speakers
It’s never too late to learn, and it’s common to see visitors from all kinds of different fields and backgrounds popping in to speak and educate residents with their presentations. Health, nutrition, and history are just some of the interesting categories that have been covered by guest speakers visiting The Glen.
Bean Bag Baseball and Other Sports
There are a number of ways for residents to stay active and competitive. At The Glen, you can find residents gathering multiple times a week to compete in friendly games of Bean Bag Baseball or Bocce Ball. The Glen also has teams and athletes who go to compete in the regional Senior Olympics games.
Wellness Classes
In the same vein of staying active, The Glen’s focus on fitness and wellness includes regular exercise classes for residents to choose from, like Balance & Beyond, Chair Yoga, and Water Aerobics.
Creative Arts Opportunities
Residents may also get in touch with their creative side and learn new skills in a variety of different ways. Some examples of these opportunities at The Glen include: arts and craft programs, book clubs, cooking demonstrations with The Glen’s chef, and group singalongs with the range of choirs and performers who visit.
At The Glen, our event calendar changes monthly. Be sure to take advantage of any of our programs. You’ll have fun trying something new, learning something new, or meeting a new friend along the way.
