Willows of Easley: Live Life to the Fullest

Walking Club, Billiards Competition, Movie Matinee, Bible Study, Trivia Tuesday, Lunch and Learn: A Grand Tour of Italy, Chair Yoga, University Program are just a few examples of the weekly Life Enrichment Calendar at The Willows of Easley. It mirrors its’ mission to offer a vibrant and engaging environment filled with activities and programs designed to promote residents’ sense of purpose, curiosity, and creativity while having lots of fun.

 

“Happy hours and paid entertainment are always a big hit,” said Laura Gill Spearman, CRCFA, CDP, executive director. “Residents also love our day trips to apple orchards, pontoon boat tours, ride thru safaris, scenic rides, local plays and shopping trips.”

The dedicated team members, Niki Holliday and Tamra Imundo, who run Life Enrichment Department at The Willows are passionate about offering events that keep brains sharp and hearts wide open.

“Our community projects really give residents a sense of purpose,” explained Spearman. “For example, right now we are doing a food/school supplies drive for Pickens County neighbors in need through United Christian Ministries. Residents also plant, care for and enjoy the bounty from our community garden. Extra veggies are donated to our kitchen.”
