Breathe in Life: August Events

Our Alive in All Seasons’ theme for August is The Environment. Our communities will focus their efforts on maintaining healthy environments through environmentally conscious activities. Our “Green Canopy” program emphasizes designing and operating buildings that meet new standards of environmental sustainability. We are proud to be the first long-term care company with a building in the US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program.

According to research by Go Green, Americans throw away 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour; 25 billion Styrofoam cups and 40 billion soft drink bottles and cans each year. Eighty-four percent of the average American’s household trash can be recycled. If we recycled just 1/10 of our newspapers 25 million trees could be saved. Are we all doing our part?

Join us this month as we learn more about the environment, expand our wide-scale recycling program, learn more about environmental sustainability programs and work with our community Green Teams to promote our “Green Canopy” initiative. We encourage you to accompany us on this environmental journey so that we can all continue to Breathe in Life!

Our fabulous activity offerings this month include our Annual Community Shredder Event where you can get rid of all of your unwanted documents that have been clogging up your closets in a safe and secure manner while dancing to music and enjoying summer refreshments on August 7^th from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm; our Annual Community Back To School Outreach Event to assist children returning back to school please join us for summer music, refreshments and more after donating a brand new book bag filled with notepads, pens, markers and pencils (to which we will add a note of inspiration written by our residents) on August 14^th from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm; or our Conquering Compassion Fatigue Presentation by Jennifer Parker of Samaritan Hospice to teach us tools to reduce stress and fatigue as we provide care to those we so dearly love on August 19^th from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Take a look at our calendar and join us for any and all activities that will help you make the most of these last few weeks of summer.
