A group of residents get together weekly to sew decorative quilts—for fun and as a community service project. Their beautiful hand work—really works of art—now graces the walls of shelters for women and children, as well as RPP's Health Care Center.

Roland Park Place's ideal location attracts people who want to go out on their own and enjoy the many cultural, educational, volunteer, and recreational activities available in the area. But, there's no shortage of excursions organized and escorted by RPP staff, or things to do on-site.

You'll be amazed at the variety and caliber of programs, events and activities that add to the fun and enjoyment of living at Roland Park Place. It goes without saying that physical, mental and social stimulation are vital to a healthy lifestyle, and contribute to zest, vitality, and longevity. You'll find abundant choices, geared to all interests and physical abilities.
