Our elders took the brunt of illness during the pandemic, especially those who lived in isolation from friends and family. It was also a different time for those who lived in residential senior housing. Our community teams worked tirelessly to maintain a connection between residents and families through virtual communication, and we had to be especially creative in providing door-to-door activities to keep their spirits high.
We ask everyone to take time from their busy schedule during the week of September 11th -17th to honor an elder for National Assisted Living Week. This year’s theme “Joyful Moments” is especially meaningful given the past two years. It encourages everyone to find happiness, joy, and fulfillment in big and small moments.
Whether seniors living in your home, your neighborhood, or in a senior living community, let them know that you care. A simple gesture such as writing a card of appreciation or a small token such as giving a plant, or a flower, or dropping off treats to a senior living facility.
We can tell you that a little kindness goes a long way. Please consider making Joyful Moments for our elders from Sept. 11th through 17th.
