Browse some of our featured programs below to learn more about ways our community members follow their passions, and contact us to hear more about the specific program offerings.
Gardening
Get your hands dirty–and take in some fresh air while you’re at it! Gardening is a therapeutic hobby, and it provides our community members with an opportunity for relaxation and self-reflection. Fresh air brings happiness as residents learn new botanical tricks, stay active, and find inner peace while face-to-face with nature.
Senior Sidekicks
Senior Sidekicks is an intergenerational program designed exclusively for our residents and local students. Through Senior Sidekicks, local students visit the community and join our residents for entertaining senior activities. The program offers amusing activities for seniors and students alike. Walnut Heights brims with energy as students from local schools chat and engage with residents. These events are always highly anticipated by residents and students alike.

Technology
We understand the value of relationships with friends and family. That is why we offer technology services to help you keep in touch! Connect with your friends and family over the Internet. The program staff at Walnut Heights is happy to get you started and answer any questions.

Start or Join a Club
From billiards to books to bridge, we want you to do what makes you happy. At Walnut Heights, residents join to explore their interests and make friends. Join a club and continue your favorite pastime or find a new one altogether! If there isn’t already a club formed, our team can help you turn your vision into reality.
Wii Sports
We offer video game activities for seniors! Video games are not just for kids anymore, and our residents are absolutely hooked on Wii Bowling. Start a casual game or compete in a bowling competition against your neighbors.
Fitness
Get strong and healthy through fitness classes! Exercise is a great way to maintain your physical health while also relieving stress. We believe exercise should be enjoyable, so we offer our residents a variety of fun classes to join. Take part in a wide array of senior activities, such as Strength Training, Tai Chi, Swimming, Water Aerobics and more.
Outings
Are you someone who likes to hit the town? Each day is a new adventure for residents. We coordinate trips to museums, theaters, restaurants, lectures, casinos and more. Have an idea for a trip? Get out and see what’s happening. The possibilities are endless!
Transportation
Do you have a favorite local market, shop, or store? We can get you there. Is there a new movie or play that you’d like to see in town? Allow us to drive you. Accessible transportation is a top priority for seniors, and we will arrange getting you to the places you need to go.
Cooking
Food is at the heart of our community. Share meals and conversations with your neighbors as you bond over your favorite meals. Residents love getting together with friends and neighbors to swap family recipes and share their culinary creativity. If you really want to test your mettle in the kitchen, you can compete in one of our popular “Iron Chef” cooking competitions. Or, if you’re just looking to learn some new tricks, attend a hosted cooking demonstration.
Music
Music is good for the soul, and we offer musical activities for seniors to participate in year-round. Many residents form choirs and perform for their fellow residents as well as for audiences in the community. Sing for others or sit back and enjoy the show!
