Lynn Gledhill, our Activity Director

Welcome to the Activities Department at Carrington Place Retirement Residence.  Our departmental philosophy is a person centered approach to recreation and leisure.  Time is taken to get to know each resident on a one to one basis.  This allows for personal discussion regarding how each resident likes to spend their leisure time.  We encourage our residents to participate in all our regularly scheduled activities and to apply their own personal strengths when doing so.  From helping a fellow resident play bingo, to singing along with our many weekly entertainers.

Lynn Gledhill has recently completed her degree in recreation and leisure therapy at Brock University.  She combines her theoretical knowledge with her life experience to bring a fun but age appropriate activity program to Carrington Place.  Lynn is always open to new ideas and suggestions from residents and family alike.
