Our activities program is about opportunity and choice. Under the direction of a full time Activities Supervisor, we offer both individual and group programming that promotes personal fulfillment as well as a sense of camaraderie and community spirit.
Residents are just a short walk or ride away from many of the concerts, gallery openings, plays, festivals, and restaurants in downtown Poughkeepsie. We also provide regular transportation to suburban shopping malls or just short jaunts for an ice cream sundae or lunch out. At other times, we bring the community directly to our residents with recitals, lecture series, travelogues, and multi-denominational worship services.
Quiet, private time is also part of our program. Vassar-Warner has a grand piano, large book collection, jigsaw puzzle, cable TV service in each room as well as a large screen TV in the parlor, and two loving cats.
Good fellowship and good company are available through sing-alongs, therapy dog visits, bingo, trivia contests, classic film fests on our large screen TV, a garden club, and happy hours (with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages). We encourage our residents to invite family and friends to visit, and visitors are always welcome at scheduled activities and meals.
Residents come together monthly to form the "Resident Council", a group that advocates for resident concerns and views on life at Vassar-Warner.
