Each year, National Assisted Living Week provides a special opportunity to acknowledge and appreciate the world of assisted living communities across our nation. The week is meant to spotlight the amazing efforts of caregivers working in these communities and the unique residents who reside in them. As we join in this national observance, it is a chance to reflect on the importance of compassionate care, celebrate the vibrant lives of residents, and appreciate the incredible staff who make it all possible. This week also highlights the importance of assisted living communities being a part of neighborhoods nationwide.
At the beginning of each year, we outline the “Acts of Service” we want to complete throughout the calendar year. Each month, we take on a new mission in our community: hosting a school supply drive, surprising our volunteers with handmade treats from our residents, or organizing a canned food drive for the local food bank. Whenever we step out into the community, we aim to leave a little Kentridge warmth wherever we go!
As National Assisted Living Week has officially kicked off, we fully embrace this year’s theme, “Inspiring Generations.” This theme captures the nature of what makes The Kentridge Senior Living so special: the blend of wisdom from our older adults and the fresh vibrancy of the professionals who work here each day. To celebrate, residents and staff will enjoy a week full of unique events that highlight the various service areas that contribute to the spirit and success of our community.
This is my first year celebrating National Assisted Living Week, and I’m so excited to see all the memories made throughout the week. The residents and staff always have a great time together, and we always find fun in every event!
We hope that by truly embracing the journey our aging adults take when they choose to make an assisted living community their home, we can inspire others to make the leap, join the wonderful culture, and truly thrive alongside others in their generation.
