Recreation Program
Our philosophy: People feel healthier when they can control their own lives. One place where this independence is particularly fostered is in our Recreation Program.

Our residents' needs and interests are sure to be met with our diverse recreational activities. We have daytime and evening programs, seven days a week. Staff and even other residents encourage everyone to participate.

Local musicians and craftspeople complement our staff and volunteers. Movies, bingo, games, field trips, social hours, cooking programs, discussion groups, and a variety of religious programs and services are offered. Our active music program features 4 pianos, with many people to play them, and local musicians who offer regular musical programs.

One-on-one volunteer visits are available and offered to all residents who request visits. Massage therapists from the local massage school offer their skills for relaxation and therapeutic treatment.

On Tuesdays, our residents enjoy freshly popped popcorn. Residents and visitors also enjoy the resident and volunteer-staffed Corner Store next door to the Council Café, where residents can (and do) play games, enjoy a cup of coffee, and surf the Internet.

Pets, Peds, and Plants Project
Lakeside's commitment to bringing life and laughter to residents is apparent through the many domestic animals that live here, through the inclusion of children in various projects and programs, and through encouraging resident involvement with outside gardens and indoor plants. Certified pet therapists bring a touch of home with their trained, friendly companion animals.
