Great things sometimes happen by accident, and that is true of many things in life, including astronomy. There are numerous incidents in astronomy where something unexpected is suddenly revealed far beyond the original scope of the research. Some of the most important and spectacular discoveries in astronomy were not the result of carefully planned experiments, but came from unintended results. Join us for armchair astronomy and learn about some of science’s great findings.
Join Chris Epting and discover the vibrant rock ‘n’ roll history of Orange County, where surf music was born and legends like Elvis once roamed. This engaging presentation will take you through iconic venues and landmarks that shaped the soundtrack of our lives, highlighting the influential musicians and cultural movements that emerged from this sunny Southern California paradise.
Federico Barone will discuss chronic pain, sudden pain and post-workout soreness, the differences between them and how to manage them safely to keep up with a regular fitness routine.
Join Elizabeth Kaye, award-winning author, editor and dance historian. Via Zoom, she explores the scope and impact of American Ballet in the last century and this one.
Buckle up for some memorable armchair travel. Hernan is a world traveler and his presentations take us to remarkable places, as he shares history and trivia from favorite destinations.
The Holidays were wonderful at The Covington, a joyous time for family and friends, and filled with the spirit of the season. From presents under the tree and ringing in the New Year to January resolutions, residents continue to embrace opportunity and relish new experiences.
At The Covington
As the holiday season arrived, residents displayed their winter crafts. The Creative Living program offers a range of classes that explore different techniques and materials. Winter Crafts was an opportunity for residents to proudly display their creations and share in each other’s talents.
At The Covington
Residents opened their doors to welcome others and show their decorations. Friends gathered to share stories, wish the best of the season and share snacks as they went from home to home, seeing how their neighbors celebrate the holidays.
At The Covington
One thing we’ve learned over the years is that residents love to throw a party. Our annual New Year’s Eve party was once again a lively affair, offering residents a chance to celebrate another year and look forward to the future together. The evening included a Fantasy Casino, which allows residents to throw caution to the wind without losing their wallets (something everyone appreciated the next day).
At The Covington
The Covington is proud to be part of the ECS family of active senior living communities, an organization at the forefront of senior care, support, and lifestyle. Recently, ECS staff came together for a new and powerful training experience. Through immersive learning and hands-on training exercises, more than 30 team members became Certified Dementia Practitioners. From caregivers and nurses to dining and transportation staff, everyone walked away with new tools and a deeper understanding of how to support residents with empathy and respect.
At The Covington
Saddleback College is one of The Covington’s creative living partners. Each Friday, a professor delivers an educational presentation on a different topic. Residents packed Schumacher Hall to hear this insightful and thought-provoking discussion.
Outings
The Covington Walking Club meets every week to explore a different part of our region. Recently, they visited the Dana Point Headlands Conservation Area, where four conservation parks span almost 60 acres. Three miles of public trails link the conservation parks and public open space areas of the Headlands. The system includes pedestrian trails, coastal and beach access, scenic overlooks, and an informative Nature Interpretive Center. The conservation area is home to more than 150 species of plants and animals native to coastal Southern California. It was a beautiful day out in a stunning location.
Outings
Located in Santa Ana, California, Bower’s Museum’s permanent collection includes more than 100,000 objects. The collection includes pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, Native American art, the art of Asia, Africa, and Oceania, and California plein-air painting. Residents spent time exploring the breadth of the collection, then discussed works over a delicious lunch.
