The activities program is intended to be one that enriches the lives of the residents. Although entertainment is a vital part of such a program, it is not the main objective. To the extent possible in such a group setting, Wylie Hall will strive to create an atmosphere resembling “normal life.” Activities offered will reflect the interests and abilities of the residents and will be in keeping with Covenant Way’s mission of contributing to their health, security, happiness, and usefulness in life.
