Purpose: The purpose of the "Community Outreach Program" is to allow our residents the opportunity to network within the community with other individuals.

It is the Policy of Elm Brook Healthcare and Rehabilitation Centre to provide recreational opportunities for residents to participate within the community.

Elm Brook Healthcare and Rehabilitation Centre offers a variety of opportunities which apply to all residents within the facility. Elm Brook Healthcare and Rehabilitation Centre and the Elmhurst Library have been working together for over two years on a Outreach Program for Residents to attend Library Workshops of interest, request a variety of books desired as well as, participating in scheduled seminars.

The facility also participates in the monthly outings with "Life on Wheels", which is a not-for profit organization who provides outings to the Morton Arboretum Local Malls and free lunch at a restaurant of choice. This opportunity is free to those residents who choose to participate. However, participants must be in a wheel chair due to the layout of the outing bus.

The Local Park District provides a variety of workshops, classes and outings for Seniors within the community in which to participate. Residents are able to request a free brochure monthly to register for upcoming events.

The VFW and the Moose Lodge in Elmhurst provide Socials within the facility on a monthly basis as well as special parties outside the facility during the Holiday Season.
