We believe that every day should include something to nourish the Mind, the Body and the Soul. And we firmly believe that every day should include time spent with someone that is NOT your own age. We make all of this happen for Gentog Seniors through our Activities Program.
Listed below is a sampling of the activities that happen regularly in Gentog's Adult Day Program. We strive to include something from each category every day, morning and afternoon. If there is something that your loved one enjoys specifically, be sure to let us know when you enroll them...we'll aim to include that activity during the day that they are here.
