We will celebrate our Country’s birthday all month. What a great time to enhance our pride in America and the privilege of being an American! July is also National Hot Dog, Ice Cream and Picnic Month. There’s no better way to beat the heat than with some cool refreshing ice
cream. Our Centers respond to the important mission of supporting adults of all ages and senior citizens in their efforts to remain independent with dignity in the community. The atmosphere of pride and patriotism will be strong as we will continue to offer the fun activities that our participants enjoy, including: A Daily Exercise Program, Tai Chi, Organic Gardening, Bingo Competitions, Arts & Crafts and Live Entertainment in the afternoons. Please join us as we celebrate another birthday for our great nation, and welcome the month of July.

GETTING SCENT-IMENTAL
July’s aromatherapy scent, Rosemary is thought to stimulate the brain and
improve mental performance. By using certain aromas in conjunction with
activities such as reading, music therapy or meditation, aromatic
compounds can actually influence your brain’s chemistry to heighten your
mood or sharpen your mind in a way that’s safe and all natural.
