Residents have access to activities that help them stay active or enjoy themselves, like a small theatre, fitness classes, massage therapy, and wellness programs, and there are nutritious meals served three times a day, snacks between meals, and diabetic-friendly food too, plus the meals get pretty good scores, so most folks eat well.
