Recreation
 
Our philosophy at Suffield by the River is that just because you have gotten older does not mean you stop having fun or challenging your mind.  Liz Sansom, our recreation director, embodies this philosophy.
Liz Sansom joined the staff at Suffield by the River as Recreation Director in February 2006. Liz had formerly been the fitness instructor at our facility, and her background includes certifications in working with the senior adult population.

Activities that have been added to the recreation calendar include a current events discussion group, enrichment lectures, flower arranging, garden club, karaoke, pet therapy, walks at the Windsor Locks Canal State Park Trail, wellness seminars, and Wii bowling as well as our Ambassador program to welcome and help acclimate new residents. These activities along with bingo, blackjack, poker and weekly entertainment help to keep Suffield by the River’s residents entertained, challenged, and happy.
