In general, the home is very focused on keeping residents as active as possible, an indication of which is the Tai Chi activity this afternoon (which appeared to motivate the majority of the residents), among many other varied activities, which go on on a regular basis.

Originally from the small island state of Grenada, I bring with me a lifelong passion for hospitality, deeply rooted in the culture and natural beauty of my homeland.
