That is why we provide a variety of crafting activities and encourage our residents to get inventive due to the many physical and mental benefits it brings. All resident types are encouraged to participate and to be as creative as possible; whether they’re a seasoned craftsman or simply get pleasure from the process, our teams are ready to assist residents throughout every class.
