P A G E 2 National Assisted Living Week Sunday, September 10 - Saturday, September 16, 2017 Family is Forever is this year s theme for National Assisted Living Week. The theme is inspired by a quote from the poet Maya Angelou: Family isn t always blood, it s the people in your life who want you in theirs: the ones who accept you for who you are, the ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what. Anyone who has spent valuable time in an assisted living community has seen how staff can come to think of their residents like family. It takes a special person to work in our profession, and often, caregivers form bonds that can never be broken. This National Assisted Living Week, we want to recognize these amazing individuals who give their heart and soul to their residents, as well as those seniors and individuals with disabilities who leave a lasting imprint on their caregivers. We have a fun filled week planned here at Parker Place to celebrate National Assisted Living Week! Check out this months Activities Calendar, and come join all the fun! We hope to see you there!
