One of the delightful things about Grand Lake Gardens is the rich array of activities from which you can benefit!

Our residents regularly enjoy visits to the Oakland Symphony; classes with Chi Gung and other forms of exercise; and outings, movies, and museum trips.

In season, residents head to the ballpark for Oakland A’s games.  Throughout the year, groups enjoy shopping excursions and lunches at popular East Bay restaurants.

Many residents take advantage of the Posit Science Brain Fitness Program, an award-winning, computer-based exercise program that enhances mental sharpness.  Studies have shown how the Brain Fitness Program strengthens memory and increases processing speed in healthy aging adults.

Grand Lake Gardens’ Life Stories class is also very popular.  Residents document and reflect on family and personal journeys.  Poetry reading is another favorite activity in which residents share from their favorite authors or their own written work.  Our Music Appreciation class uses hand held instruments, guest artist appearances, DVDs, and listening to CDs as tools of exploring music from around the world.

Many residents make Grand Lake Gardens activities a part of their daily life while others enjoy just “doing their own thing.”
