What is Grand Living’s FACETS® Program?
FACETS® is more than just a collection of events and activities—it’s a way of life. Our program encompasses life-enriching experiences that touch on every facet of well-being, from physical health and social connection to lifelong learning and creativity. Through carefully curated activities, our senior residents are empowered to continue growing, rediscover old hobbies, explore new passions, and engage with their community in meaningful ways.
