Rock the Ages
This unique rock'n'roll chorus is comprised of singers, experienced and new, who want to learn NEW popular music - not the music they grew up with! Music and singing are great for the brain, memory, camaraderie, and general well-being. Weekly practices are open to all.
Meditation Group
Residents play an active role in initiating and leading group activities. The Meditation group meets in the Sanctuary every week to practice quiet sitting in a non-sectarian and inclusive environment open to residents of all spiritual paths, helping to create a sense of community and supportiveness.

The Wellness Committee at The Redwoods sits at the heart of our unique campus culture. The committee is comprised of 50/50 staff and residents. As such, a high level of exchange and communication occurs. The Wellness Committee sets the pace and direction for many campus initiatives and programs.

The residents play an active role in our Emergency Management System. Corridor Reps attend monthly safety meetings on behalf of their floor and report back to their neighbors with any important updates. They also coordinate with staff in welcoming new residents and executing evacuation drills.
