Greetings from Philadelphia! 👋🍝

Peter, Rona and Paula are representing Montgomery Place at the LeadingAge Annual Meeting this week, where thousands of people from senior living communities across the country gather to share ideas about the future of aging well.

Before diving into sessions, they put on their aprons for an Italian cooking class at La Cucina at the Market inside the historic Reading Terminal Market. Learning, laughing and good food, the Montgomery Place way!

Please join us in welcoming Nicole Frazier, RN, BSN, as Montgomery Place’s new Chief Operating Officer! 🎉

Many of you already know Nicole, and for good reason. She first joined our community as a therapist, helping residents through rehabilitation and daily living, and later returned as a Registered Nurse in our Skilled Nursing Center. Few leaders know our care culture as well as she does.

Nicole also founded A&N Healing Hearts LLC, a nurse-owned private-duty home nursing agency she built from the ground up. She holds a BS in Nursing from Western Governors University and a BS in Biology from the University of Illinois Springfield, and is an alumna of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program.

Her goal is simple: to make Montgomery Place the gold standard for how older adults are served, supported, and celebrated.

Welcome back, Nicole! 💙

Active Aging Week was all about staying ahead of the game! 💪 Our Therapy Department, Trinity Rehab Services joined by Shawn, showed residents what active aging really looks like. The big takeaway: you don’t have to wait until you slow down or get injured to start therapy. Being proactive with consultations and sessions can help you stay strong and independent as your body changes with age. Residents also learned how easy it is to sign up for these services.

A licensed dietitian was on hand to share tips for healthy eating, along with tasty snacks and a refreshing drink. Residents even took a fun taste test to find out if they’re “super tasters” and learned what to do if their sense of taste is changing. 🍎

And a fun surprise: Uber reps stopped by to share features designed especially for seniors, plus a 50% discount on their next ride! 🚗

Our furry friends received a special blessing! 🐾

Residents gathered in the garden beside our St. Francis statue for our annual Blessing of the Pets. Rev. Catherine Healey from The Church Home and resident Rev. Gina Volpe offered blessings to all the pets in attendance, as well as to photos of beloved companions who couldn’t be outdoors or who have recently passed. A heartwarming tradition that reminds us how much our pets mean to us.

There’s something special about October. 🍂

The leaves change, the air cools, and it’s a good moment to ask: how are we taking care of ourselves?

In our newest blog, we share a simple October challenge for aging well in body, mind and spirit :
Eat right. Move more. Keep learning. Stay connected. Get enough sleep. Take care of your spirit.

The trees don’t change all at once. They change one leaf at a time. Maybe we can do the same.

Still working on that New Year's resolution to get stronger? September is a great time for a reset. 💪

Our latest blog post talks about why strength matters as we age, how small steps like walking, stretching and light resistance training add up, and how our newly updated fitness room is ready whenever you are.

It's never too late to dust off that goal.

Remember those New Year's resolutions? You know the ones. The ones we made back in January when we were full of optimism and convinced that this was finally going to be the year we exercised more, got stronger, ate better and took better care of ourselves.
