A sample week — the calendar changes with the seasons and with what our residents want to do.

Faith & Fellowship

Sunday still means something here

Weekly devotionals, hymn sings, and rides to the church of your choice keep faith close at hand. Many of our residents have belonged to the same Dothan congregations for decades — we make sure that doesn't change.

Family & Visitors

The door's always open

Grandchildren, church friends, and neighbors are welcome any day of the week. We keep the porch stocked with extra chairs and the kitchen stocked with sweet tea, because family time shouldn't need an appointment.

Ways to Spend the Day

Something for every kind of afternoon

Porch Sitting

A wraparound porch with wicker chairs and a swing — the unofficial heart of the house.

Card & Domino Games

Rummy, dominoes, and Rook run most afternoons — bring your own trash talk.

Raised-Bed Gardening

Tomatoes, herbs, and zinnias grow in our accessible raised garden beds out back.

Live Porch Music

Local pickers and singers stop by for informal front-porch concerts.

Book & Puzzle Nook

A sunlit reading corner stocked with large-print favorites and jigsaw puzzles.

Outings Around Dothan

Group trips to the farmers market, the National Peanut Festival, and local shopping.
