At Le Genesis we believe that leisure is an essential component for a healthy, well-balanced lifestyle.
The Recreation Director, along with a team of dedicated volunteers, encourage seniors to participate in a variety of individual, small and large group activities which are designed to meet social, physical, intellectual, and spiritual needs.
Our Resident Council (CADO), a non-profit corporation, has a mandate to improve our seniors quality of life and therefore are very active in supporting our recreational program. They also serve as a voice for our seniors by giving new ideas and suggestions to our Administrators.
