Community Life
The Community Life team supports residents in their journey of living. Their varied responsibilities include: the coordination and creation of community events, life-long learning and enrichment opportunities, providing assistance for resident driven programming and navigation of Mary’s Woods support services.
The team develops programming based on Mary’s Woods own 10 Dimensions of Celebrating Life, adapted from the internationally recognized 7 Dimensions of Wellness.
To see how we celebrate life and the many engaging programs offered, browse our campus calendar.
