Recreation with benefits

One of the ways we make our residents physically active is through different activities. Schedules are very important for our residents to actively participate, so we make activity times part of their daily routine. This is very beneficial for our residents because they get to enjoy recreational time and exercise at the same time through the activities and programs we organize.
