The Life Enrichment Program at Mallard Cove is devoted to the needs of Residents and non-Residents alike in providing fun, healthy and enlightening activities to everyone at any level of ability. Exercise classes offered at Mallard Cove include yoga and Pilates, routines that can lead to better posture, increased flexibility and a general sense of well being. Each Resident at Mallard Cove is unique, and staff members will continue to create new opportunities and find the best fit in terms of staying physically healthy and active.

As Life Enrichment Director for Mallard Cove, Rachel Detore strives to promote active lifestyles for every Resident's needs. "We develop programs or find opportunities specific to the person and not just the community as a whole," she says.

"It's about promoting health and wellness and supporting each Residents' goal to stay active and physically fit so they can feel good ultimately."

Rachel organizes popular group events including bingo and bridge, but she also encourages personalized activities such as attending special lectures, creating works of art or spending an afternoon fishing. Whatever an individual's agenda may be, Rachel has met a calling to improve the lives of Mallard Cove Residents every day.

"We should cater to the emotional, physical, intellectual, social, spiritual and vocational needs of Residents," Rachel says.
