At The Lodge in Sisters, Oregon, community engagement means more than activities—it’s about friendship, purpose, and living life to the fullest.
More Than Just Activities
At many retirement communities, “activities” are a buzzword. But at The Lodge Retirement Community in Sisters, Oregon, professionally managed by Artegan, we believe true community engagement goes deeper. It’s about creating meaningful opportunities for residents to connect, contribute, and celebrate life together.
Finding Purpose Through Connection
For older adults, the transition to Independent Living often sparks a renewed sense of purpose. At The Lodge, residents aren’t just attending activities—they’re leading, sharing, and building traditions. Examples include:
– A resident-led quilting circle that donates blankets to local families.
– Weekly discussion groups on current events or literature.
– Volunteer partnerships with Sisters-area schools, libraries, and food pantries.
Opportunities for Every Interest
No two residents are alike, and our engagement model reflects that. Some prefer large group activities, others enjoy quieter pastimes. That’s why our calendar includes:
– Creative outlets: painting, woodworking, music, and photography.
– Wellness opportunities: balance classes, guided walks, and meditation.
– Social favorites: game nights, potlucks, themed dinners, and movie screenings.
– Exploring Sisters: local festivals, the annual Quilt Show, and nature excursions.
Belonging Builds Well-Being
Research shows that strong social ties improve overall health and reduce risks linked with isolation. At The Lodge, we see that in action every day. Whether it’s laughter shared during bingo, a heartfelt moment in the garden, or a neighbor stopping by to check in, engagement strengthens both body and spirit.
Rooted in Sisters, Oregon
The Lodge’s engagement philosophy is uniquely tied to its location. Residents enjoy outings that showcase Sisters’ charm—from art galleries to rodeos to seasonal farmers’ markets. These connections make The Lodge feel less like a community set apart and more like a vibrant extension of the town itself.
