Physically Distanced. Socially Connected.

Clark Retirement - Physically distanced, socially connected

Physically distanced. Socially connected.

At Clark, we don’t like to think of our residents and staff as socially distant, rather we say we’re physically distanced and socially connected. During the course of the pandemic and associated executive orders from the State of Michigan we have committed to keeping our residents safe and socially engaged.

"Distanced" activities to socially connect with each other

While, we have had to physically distance for safety, our connection as a community remains strong. Our Life Enrichment Team has gone above and beyond to keep our residents engaged and connected. We are excited to highlight some of the amazing activities at Clark that have continued to keep our residents, families and staff connected.
