Summary

• Innovators in the field of health and
  medicine are changing the idea of residential
  living by bringing in elements usually not found
  there. Nowadays, residents in assisted living
  grow, move and connect at their own pace through
  dynamic activity involvement.

  stimulation, lessen feelings of loss and help
  prevent frustration. Life is all about activity
  so we must live every moment with joy. We have

  undertake to make their living fun in an assisted
