WHY ANTHOLOGY LOVES HEALTHY AGING MONTH
It reminds us to stay healthy
We often get so caught up with our daily routine that we forget to take care of ourselves. This month reminds us of the importance of following a healthy lifestyle to ensure we age comfortably.
It gives us a chance to develop a new skill
Healthy Aging Month is an opportunity to learn new skills. Whether it is a sport that you've always wanted to play or include healthy dishes in your diet. This is the perfect time to make sure you have a well-balanced lifestyle.
It gives us a chance to expand our knowledge
This month allows us to read and expand our knowledge on health and nutrition. Knowledge is power, and it is important to take charge of our lives with all the information we need to do the right thing and keep ourselves on track
CELEBRATING NATIONAL ASSISTED LIVING WEEK!
September 11 – 17 is National Assisted Living Week (NALW) and Anthology is proud to recognize the essential role of assisted living in caring for older adults across the country.
This year’s NALW theme – Joyful Moments – honors the assisted living staff, communities, residents, and families that come together as a large extended family to create joyful moments and special memories together. After the challenges of the past two years, this theme is especially meaningful in encouraging everyone to find happiness, joy, and fulfillment in both the big and small moments in life.
