The monthly birthday celebration at Buckingham Senior Apartments in Los Angeles, CA, is always lovely. Residents play games, win raffles, and enjoy delicious food, including a celebratory piece of cake, all provided by EngAGE.
After a birthday gathering – and as part of their daily routine – the Exercise Class enjoys their evening walks around the neighborhood. Other exercise options offered at Buckingham include free weights, a recumbent bicycle, and a treadmill.
EngAGE changes lives by transforming affordable senior and multigenerational apartment communities into vibrant centers of learning, wellness, and creativity.
