Your Choices. Our Priorities.
On the way to workout room? Be sure to take some time to visit the beautiful photographs taken by Lillian Meiggs. She likes to use her ipad to get very close to the beautiful flora in our area. That’s why she titled her exhibit Up Close and Personal. The “up close” is clear, but the “personal” is the direct way this lady approaches her craft. And this craft is not limited to photography.
We visited her apartment to get to know her a little better.
We’re always busy around here, but Active Aging Week was extra full of fun group activities. This year’s theme was Inspiring Wellness. Now, that’s a theme we can all get on board with. This is more about the week from the Active Aging Week website:
Active Aging Week takes place each year during the last week of September. The weeklong campaign calls attention to and wholeheartedly celebrates the positivity of aging today. It showcases the capabilities of older adults as fully participating members of society and spotlights the role models that lead the way.
September is a big month for us, with two special weeks: National Assisted Living Week and Active Aging Week. This year we celebrated in excellent style. We did have to deal with the threat of a hurricane, but we weathered through!
Residents and staff came together in downtown Asheville for our 4th Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The walk is held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide. It’s the largest fundraising event for the organization and raises money for awareness, care, support, and research.
Here’s a look at last year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s:
We loved the invitation to visit our local TV station recently! Our very own Sarah Marr and Roberta Martin were guests on WLOS Spotlight Carolina talking about our special community.
Sarah and Roberta looked right at home after they filmed their segment.
Join us for a tour and meet our team (and residents).
