Life Enrichment
Just because you're aging doesn't mean you stop living. Your dreams, passions and hobbies are as unique as you are. Granville Gardens is a place where you can continue to be you and continue to grow as an individual by being socially connected, and challenged in mind, body, and spirit. A typical day at Granville Gardens may include any number of interesting activities:
- Start your day with Morning Mental Workout, including games, events and discussions that exercise the brain-our most important muscle!
- Stroll around the neighbourhood with the Walking Club and see what’s in bloom
- Gather to share stories and sing classic tunes with the Java Music Club
- Match wits and trump your opponents at the Weekly Bridge Group. Don’t’ play? We have Wii Bowling, whist, horse races and more!
- Celebrate a birthday with a Slice of Cake and Cup of Tea in the Garden Lounge
- Don’t miss Movie Night, where we screen film classics, old and new.
- Raise a toast to friends during Happy Hour at the Beverage and Bistro Bar, and share snacks, singing, jokes and laughter.
- Take in an Evening Piano Performance, featuring student performers from a local music school
Safety & Security
Granville Gardens is a place you can call home. And not because it's where you wake up every morning, but because you're surrounded by peace of mind and warmth from people who genuinely care about your well-being. We believe that you should feel safe and reassured when living here. Our 24 hour emergency response and on site security are just the beginning. All our staff are trained in specific safety and security procedures which means that your safety isn't treated like a job—it's woven into everything we do.
- Daily visual check
- Monthly fire drills
- On-going staff training
- Annual evacuation procedures
Amenities
If your home had everything you needed at your fingertips, combined with an engaging social calendar, you'd never want to leave. That's how we approach our communities, and Granville Gardens is without exception. Fulfilling your spirit, body, and mind means challenging yourself and bettering yourself. So, try Tai Chi, or Digital Story Telling and when you're done, relax with friends by having a pint, or an evening Piano performance.
