Resident Programs

Afternoon Tea

Families, friends and neighbors are welcome at most events sponsored by The Brighton's Resident Outreach Committee. A group of residents, Board members and a staff member meet monthly to discuss issues of interest to residents and to plan events and activities. Our Resident Outreach coordinator is glad to hear suggestions for meaningful and enjoyable events.

Ongoing Programs:

Quarterly Health Education
Events in the Penthouse: Topics range from Medicare/Medicaid information to Seasonal Affective Disorder, nutrition, exercise and fire safety.

P-Patch Gardens
24 raised beds are available on a first-come, first-served basis in our beautiful P-Patch garden. Last year's gardeners get first pick, but there are always enough plots to go around, and it's a lovely place to visit.

For more details, see our Ongoing Programs page.
