ACTIVITY CALENDAR


We highly encourage family participation in our numerous activities.  The locations of our activity programs depend on the varying activity, but are mostly at the Ranch, in the solarium. Our activity programming includes daily exercise and encompasses a wide range of other activities based on the individual needs and likes and dislikes of our resident population.

Below is  Lakeview Ranch's monthly activity calendar, which provide engaging activities for our residents! We are flexible to the needs of our residents. That said, we would like you to keep in mind that these activities may change as needed by our residents without notice.
