Travel the World from Home: How Tuscan Gardens’ TRAVEL TIMES Signature Program Brings Global Exploration to Residents

Wait, we can still travel the world?

At Tuscan Gardens, we believe adventure and discovery don’t have to stop with age or mobility challenges. That’s why we created our TRAVEL TIMES program to bring new cultures, flavors, and traditions right to residents, all within the comfort and safety of our community. If you’re wondering, Is it the Right Time for Senior Living?, you can use our helpful tools to guide your decision and learn more about what we offer.

The TRAVEL TIMES Experience: A Passport to Culture with No Boarding Pass Needed

TRAVEL TIMES is more than just themed activities. Each quarter, residents dive into a new country or region through music, art, stories, and food. Whether it’s exploring Italy’s charming villages or Japan’s peaceful gardens, this program lets residents experience the world without leaving home. It’s one of several Signature Programs at Tuscan Gardens designed to stimulate the mind, body, and spirit—others focus on wellness, lifelong learning, and meaningful social connection, each crafted to enrich residents’ daily lives in unique and fulfilling ways.

Three Months, One Destination, One Big Adventure

By focusing on a different place each three months, residents get to fully enjoy everything the destination has to offer. From special menus to live entertainment and talks, every detail helps create a Signature Dining experience that is fresh and exciting. These immersive celebrations align culinary offerings with the month’s featured culture, turning each meal into a delicious journey of its own.

Taste the World Without the Jet Lag

Food has a special way of bringing people together. Our chefs prepare regional dishes inspired by the destination and sometimes residents even join in cooking demos. Sharing these meals brings back memories and sparks joy and conversation—capturing the heart of what makes our Signature Dining program at Tuscan Gardens so exceptional. This thoughtful approach to dining not only delights the palate but also deepens the cultural experience for residents.

Global Sounds, Stories, and Celebrations Just Down the Hall

At Tuscan Gardens, residents immerse themselves in diverse cultural experiences. From lively Flamenco performances from Spain to festive Carnival celebrations inspired by Brazil, these events bring each destination to life. Residents engage in music, movies, storytelling, and dance, fostering learning and social connections which make every day feel vibrant and full of life.
