Celebrating National Assisted Living Week

Category: Assisted Living

Author: Skye Hookham, Resident Services Director

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 as well as 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 across the nation.

Assisted living communities actively provide a safe space for social interactions, foster intergenerational connections, offer volunteer opportunities, and create jobs. They also build partnerships with local businesses and residents, strengthening the neighborhood’s sense of culture.

Celebrating Culture and Connection at University Senior Living

As National Assisted Living Week has officially kicked off, we are fully embracing this year’s theme, “Inspiring Generations.” This theme captures the nature of what makes University 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.

National Assisted Living Week is a special time for staff and residents to unite to celebrate our community’s culture. I’m eagerly looking forward to having fun and fully embracing the joy this week brings. Each day will showcase a different department, and I’m excited to witness our team members’ creativity, passion for their roles, and all the smiles the week will inspire. The first day will kick off with a culinary highlight at our monthly brunch, and there’s nothing better than great food bringing everyone together!

It is our 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.
