Assisted Living Activity Program is designed with the individual resident in mind. Each month, residents choose from a variety of exciting cultural, educational, and social programs to challenge and to enrich the mind, body, and spirit. The Assisted Living Activity Program recognizes and offers meaningful social opportunities for all residents. The objective of this full complement of activities is to enrich the living experience at Palo Alto Commons. The key to this goal lies in the variety of the programs and the freedom of choice by residents. Join any program that suits your fancy, or, if you prefer, curl up with a good book in your own apartment or take a brisk walk along our garden pathways. It’s your choice at Palo Alto Commons.
