Activity, Volunteer and Donation Programs
Veteran Home Residents are encouraged to be active in their environment which promotes involvement, self-esteem, productivity and freedom for independent choices.
This is accomplished by providing diverse recreational activities of interest to each resident. Activities provided are physical, social, intellectual, sensory, spiritual, creative, and community oriented.
Recreational activities are available to the veteran home residents in small or large groups, or independent participation. Activities are available 7 days of the week, including evenings and Holidays.
