Staying Active and Engaged Every Day
An active social life plays a key role in senior wellness.

That is why the daily schedule at SummerHouse Park Provence is packed with activities that spark joy, connection, and movement.
Residents here often enjoy events like live concerts, wellness classes, themed parties, and outings to Slidell’s Olde Towne for local festivals.
Daily activities residents enjoy include:
- Musical performances at the community or Slidell Auditorium
- Fitness classes designed for all mobility levels
- Group trips to Honey Island Swamp or Palmettos on the Bayou
- Game nights, movie showings, and book club gatherings
The goal is that every day feels different, yet familiar, filled with opportunities to explore and have fun in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.

That kind of well-rounded lifestyle supports the whole person (mind, body, and spirit), promoting senior wellness every single day.
