Programming With Purpose
Signature Programs by Sonata Senior Living
To Sonata Senior Living, programming isn’t just about games and activities. It’s about opening up a whole world of meaningful lifestyle opportunities, cultural and educational experiences and delivering resort-like services, amenities and care to all who call Sonata home. It’s about honoring residents’ individuality and independence while finding ways to connect with their motivations, their sense of purpose and what they most enjoy in life. We want to make it possible for every Sonata Senior Living resident to lead a rewarding, enjoyable and purposeful life at every age and every stage.
