Programs for Lifelong Learners

Engaging with like-minded individuals on a variety of mutually shared interests and pursuits keeps things interesting. Don’t call this an activities program – this is EnrichedLIFE at Standish Village! Every day you’ll find something to do that nurtures some element of what makes you tick and helps you continue to grow as a person. We are fortunate to have an EnrichedLIFE Director who is also an Expressive Arts Therapist, so residents are always exposed to new programs and creative fun!

Pursue hobbies you love or try something completely new! Our popular programs include:

• Headlines and Horoscopes
• Blue Hills Choir
• Poetry Slam Group
• Discovery Learning Series
• Monthly volunteer program
• Fitness classes including yoga, stretch and fall prevention exercises
