Enjoying Our Cortland Lifestyle
Our residents are busy taking in the events and attractions around our town. With frequent outings to events like air shows, concerts, and baseball games, the greater Cortland community is used to seeing our Walden Place residents pull up and join in! We enjoy trips to local attractions like farmers markets and pumpkin patches to celebrate the seasons. In our community, we have social happy hours with delicious drinks, and local artists and volunteers visit our community regularly, bringing live music and exciting seminars to our residents. SUNY Grad students and interns are welcomed by the staff and residents every year as they delight our residents with specialty programs.
Staying Active
We encourage exercise every day for our residents. From Tai chi, chair yoga, and morning exercises to water aerobics at the YWCA we’re always on the go. Of course, if our residents would spend a little time alone, they can always use our walking path to enjoy some fresh air and exercise in the great outdoors.
