🌟 LIFE PLUS ROLLOUT: DAYS TWO & THREE! 🌟
Our Life Plus launch continues at Clarendale Six Corners, bringing our community together through experiences designed to support the four pillars of Life Plus: Longevity, Connection, Movement, and Nutrition. 💙🧡
And we’re finding so many ways to bring those pillars to life!
🌳 Longevity Through Learning & Exploration
Residents enjoyed a beautiful day exploring Graceland Cemetery, a historic Chicago landmark, on a guided tour. We learned about the fascinating stories of notable Chicagoans buried there, including baseball legend Ernie Banks. Getting out, exploring our city, staying curious, and keeping our minds engaged are all part of living a long, vibrant life!
🌷 Expert Next Door: Lillian’s Guide to Flower & Plant Care
Our new Expert Next Door program brought residents together with Lillian, who shared her love and knowledge of flowers and plants. Residents learned about her favorite varieties, how to care for them, and what helps them thrive. 🌱🌸
🎶 Connection Through Culture & Music
We continued celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with a talented singer who filled our community with Spanish-language music. Residents enjoyed listening, singing along, and connecting through the universal language of music! 💃🎶
☕ WAKE UP, CHICAGO!
Today, our entire community came together for a giant Chicago-inspired coffee crawl! ☕️🏙️
Residents traveled throughout the floors, stopping at coffee stations inspired by different Chicago neighborhoods. Our leadership team traded in their usual roles for the day and became coffee baristas, serving up different coffee creations at each stop!
Residents received their very own Chicago coffee passport and checked off each neighborhood as they explored. 🗺️☕️
It was a celebration of nutrition, connection, and community all wrapped into one delicious morning!
💃 And we kept the energy going with a dance class that had everyone moving and grooving!
🎃 Bridging Connections
Residents from all levels of care came together for another Bridging Connections experience. Together, we created trick-or-treat bags for the elementary school students who will be visiting our community later this month.
We also painted festive Halloween ceramics, giving everyone another opportunity to create, socialize, and have fun together. 🎨👻
From exploring Chicago history to gardening, music, movement, nutrition, creativity, and intergenerational connection, our first days of Life Plus have shown just how many ways we can support Longevity, Connection, and Nutrition every day.
