Meaningful engagement matters at all stages of life!
Enrollment in this unique adult art program is opening up for 2026! The program offers an extensive list of daily workshop sessions in a cozy and creatively inspiring setting. Participants delve into the interests and hobbies they love while receiving basic caregiving oversight if needed. Rest and recovery breaks with plenty of refreshments and meals are built into the daily schedule of 2 -3 well-paced sessions in art, music, and movement. As an alternative to the rising costs and isolation with home healthcare, the program provides creativity, camaraderie, and personal care in a small group of 3 – 5 participants. Silver Wings Arts Program helps participants expand and rekindle their creative passions in life. Emphasis is on providing the maximum experience with as many tangible take-aways as possible. Basic caregiving oversights include medication reminders, light mobility and basic cognition assistance, are available if needed, but not required for enrollment. Â The rest/recovery room is a quiet space where participants can take a break from the activities and recline at any point in the day. Group enrollment is available at discounted rates.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide a place for participants to find daily meaningful engagement through art, music, and movement while receiving the supports needed for participation.
Phoebe Catlin had been writing her memoirs about life as a teacher and guidance counselor for many years. She was in assisted living at a lovely facility in St. Petersburg, Florida in 2017. She was 100 years old. Her one great desire was to publish her stories. Through the book publishing workshop, her autobiography, I Could Tell You Stories, was released. Phoebe was 103 and thrilled to be able to read her life story before passing away 6 months later in 2020. Her story reminds us to keep following our passions for as long as possible. – Silver Wings Arts Program Director
