Let’s #BeCreative AGAIN!

Creating a retirement you love begins in a place where you feel supported, loved and inspired. Discovering the courage to take a leap, try something new, or even take up a passion from long ago can infuse every day with purpose and meaning. As we age, that becomes even more important. By living every day to the fullest, we practice gratitude for this gift of life.

Discover the many opportunities at Verve to #BeCreative
 

Be Creative at Verve

ARTfull Enrichment Program

Our Verve communities offer the Artfull Enrichment Program to promote creative expression, social connectivity, and lifelong learning by empowering our residents through a creative culture rooted in art therapy.
 

Social Connectivity

Providing opportunities for meaningful social engagement with other residents of the community, team members, family and volunteers through a shared art experience.
 

Lifelong Learning

Artfull Enrichment provides the basics for residents to acquire new skills and learn about art history to support their future artistic pursuits.
 

Creative Expression

Art can be a powerful communication tool — a platform through which to express yourself freely and discover hidden passions. Artfull Enrichment programs encourage individual interpretation and self-exploration.
 

 


LIVING LOVING LOCAL

Eggs are our star ingredient for March’s Living Loving Local menu!

Rich in vitamins and featuring a good amount of protein and healthy fats, eggs can be a nutritious part of any meal. In fact, they contain nearly every nutrient you need and can be cooked a variety of different ways. Eggs are also known to reduce the risk of heart disease, contain HDL the “good” cholesterol, and can benefit eye health.

Resident Testimonial


“My mother, Noreen, moved to Courtyard Gardens last month as she could no longer take care of all her own needs in her own apartment. The kindness and level of care from each staff member has been such a welcome relief for me and my sister since we don’t live close. The food is wonderful and my mom is very happy to have made this transition—she’s enjoying her life again! Thank you to all the staff at Courtyard Gardens. “

-Kathleen
