Programmed activities and events for seniors is incredibly important for their overall health and well-being. As people age, they experience physical, emotional, and cognitive changes that can make staying active and engaged in their communities difficult. Intentional programming for seniors can provide opportunities for socialization, physical activity, cognitive stimulation, and creative expression, which can help promote a sense of purpose and fulfillment. 

Each Harmony Senior Services community has a talented Life Enrichment Team with a full schedule of events that add to the lives of our senior residents. They work closely alongside our dining teams for themed programs like the Harmony Journeys Travel program and our Signature Memory Care Program - Reflections.
