We are proud to celebrate Simy (Simonette) Alanes, Director of Activities at Leisure Vale Assisted Living, for being named a Frontline Honors Award Winner by Senior Housing News. This national recognition highlights exceptional frontline leaders who elevate the resident experience every single day.
At Leisure Vale, this award reflects more than one individual. It represents the culture of engagement, creativity, and connection that defines our community.
Where Creativity Meets Community: The New StARTs Fine Arts Program
One of the programs that sets Leisure Vale apart is our New StARTs Fine Arts Program.
This is not a basic craft class. It is a structured, guided fine arts experience designed to:
• Stimulate cognitive engagement
• Encourage creative expression
• Build social connection
• Foster confidence and accomplishment
Residents work on large-scale collaborative masterpieces that are proudly displayed in our community. The program gives residents something meaningful to create, celebrate, and share with family.
Creativity is not just an activity here. It is part of our culture.
