As we come to the close of National Assisted Living week, we would like to share our appreciation again for the teams that serve these communities and their continued commitment to care. Thank you for all you do!
Senior Citizen's Day was created to support, show appreciation an honor our seniors as well as to recognize achievements and contributions made to our community by seniors.
“For all they have achieved throughout life and for all they continue to accomplish, we owe older citizens our thanks and a heartfelt salute. We can best demonstrate our gratitude and esteem by making sure that our communities are good places in which to mature and grow older — places in which older people can participate to the fullest and can find the encouragement, acceptance, assistance, and services they need to continue to lead lives of independence and dignity.” -President Ronald Reagan
President Ronald Reagan signed Proclamation 5847 declaring August 21st as National Senior Citizens Day in August of 1988.
Cesar Chavez said "If you really want to make a friend, go to someone's house and eat with him...the people who give you their food give you their heart."
These days, we don't get to eat together in the same way but we can still share the love and leave a piece of our heart - with our local communities - via snack baskets. Have a treat on us, friends, we can all use a pick-me-up sometimes.
