It’s the Little Things That Count…
We make sure our residents have access to everything they need, and then some. Chinook Village has two registered Therapists on staff who are resident-focused ensuring and encouraging an independent lifestyle. They adapt programs to meet individual resident needs so all may enjoy the excellent variety of leisure programs.
Never a dull moment! Our resident, Elsie, shares some of the activities offered.

-
Cyber Seniors connecting students from Medicine Hat Collage who act as mentors to our seniors who want to learn more about using computers, iPads, cell telephones etc.
-
Pen pal project connecting our seniors with students from a Grade Three class; Having fun with preschoolers who come to visit throughout the year, bringing music, crafts, reading and joy to our seniors!
I like Chinook Village as it is a friendly place. Lots of nice people, both staff and residents. Recreation programs are good and keep us busy.
