    Music From the HeART


    Multi-talented Jennifer Hart grew up in a musical family in Iowa and sang with her 4 older sisters in church and school before getting her degree in voice and music education. Her vast repertoire covers standards, showtunes, country and pop, from Duke Ellington to Elton John. She is often featured as a guest vocalist with Big Bands and Orchestras. Join us to hear her vast repertoire, because whatever she sings, she sings from her HeART!

    Your Wishes Matter: Planning Ahead for Your Care

    June Events

    Summer is a time for the great outdoors. Be it hiking, a community BBQ, or relaxing in the shade of our quiet gardens, there is a place for everyone here. As an active senior community, we pride ourselves on being adventurous, staying curious, and meeting new people.

    A Time to Remember

    Over Memorial Day weekend, we took time to remember our veterans and the fallen who sacrificed for our freedom. We celebrated that freedom by coming together. The day included a barbecue, with burgers, hot dogs and sides galore were on the menu. We played cornhole and ended the day with music and dancing.

    Master Chef

    The first Thursday of every month, the amazing Chef Chad demonstrates how to make his favorite recipes. This time it was garlic and butter basted Filet Mignon and yes, it was absolutely amazing. Fortunately, Chef Chad made enough to go around or we might have had a situation. Kidding aside, we are so fortunate for talented chefs like Chad at The Covington and the incredible meals we get to enjoy every day.

    Life in Motion

    One thing you will notice when you visit our community is that we are constantly on the go, pursuing interests and living life to its fullest. Part of the secret to staying active is being active. At The Covington, that includes special classes twice a week to keep our joints healthy and limber. It is an hour of fun-filled camaraderie and smiles.

    The Art of Residents

    One of our most anticipated events is celebrating artists in our midst. This month we celebrated a resident, Joanne who only joined the art classes upon moving here, having never painted before. Under the guidance of a talented and supportive instructor, she has developed her skills and confidence as an artist. Her work is now featured in the Resident Art Gallery.

    The Sound of Music

    We recently attended the stunning Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa for a beautiful performance of the beloved musical The Sound of Music. A critically acclaimed North American tour of this Rogers & Hammerstein classic relived some of our favorite moments and melodies, including “Do-Re-Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” and “Edelweiss”. We left feeling that the hills were indeed alive with the Sound of Music.

    Outings

    Laguna Canyon

    The Covington has several Creative Living Partners, including Laguna Canyon Foundation. This special relationship allows us to enjoy guided hikes though Laguna Canyon to immerse ourselves in the area’s flora and fauna. While on the hike, we learned about the environmental changes and challenges of Laguna Canyon and the importance of the canyons to the ecosystem of the surrounding regions.
