- Finding peace, hope and comfort during difficult times, our SPIRITUAL CARE PROGRAM supports residents and families.
- The power of MUSIC THERAPY is a vital medium to engage residents and encourage lost connections in a supportive environment.
- ART THERAPY can help recall memories, relieve stress and assist residents in discovering a hidden talent.
Together these vital therapeutic services benefit our seniors greatly. Help make what matters »

Equipment – Bike Program
With the addition of the Orion Bike, we now have 3 specialized Bikes for tandem style rides. Since 2009 our two Duet Bikes, have been on the move thanks to our wonderful volunteers who take our seniors out for 11 ½ months out of the year. The Orion Bike, with motorized support, was purchased in 2020 and is a unique style of riding where the rider and passenger sit side by side and the passenger has the option of peddling a little, a lot or none. All of our specialty Bikes are designed for individuals with mobility limitations who want to get out for a ride – safely. As with any bicycle, the Duet and Orion Bikes require regular maintenance to keep the program running. Get us moving »
Every dollar counts. We are grateful for our community who generously give to the Foundation.
