The Eight Dimensions of Engagement
Programs at our community are thoughtfully planned to support eight quality-of-life attributes – or dimensions of engagement – essential to the well-being of all people, regardless of age.
These dimensions are collectively represented by a “cairn” – rough stones stacked in a balanced, interdependent way to create a landmark to help find one’s way and stay on course.
