Every month we celebrate birthdays for that month, and we always have the best time! We gather around, eat cake and something salty to go along with it, and just enjoy being together!

Then we played hockey and y’all, we had the BEST time and laughed so hard! After that, we threw our question ball around, and wherever your finger landed, you had to answer that question! We had so much fun!

October is National Physical Therapy Month, and this year’s APTA theme is “PT For Future Me” — a great reminder that physical therapy isn’t just for recovering from an injury, it’s for staying strong, steady, and independent for years to come!

We’re so grateful for the physical therapists who visit our residents. Whether it’s rebuilding strength after a hospital stay, improving balance to help prevent falls, or simply keeping our residents moving comfortably through daily life, their work makes a real difference in the lives of the people we love.

Did you know physical therapy can reduce fall risk in older adults by up to 37%? For our residents, that’s not just a statistic — it’s more good days spent doing the things they enjoy. If you’ve ever chatted with one of our visiting PTs in the halls or seen them working with a resident, drop a 💙 below — we know our residents (and our staff!) appreciate them as much as we do.

Today is World Osteoporosis Day! 🦴💙

At Lakeside Senior Care, we're raising awareness about osteoporosis – a condition that affects millions of seniors worldwide but can be prevented and managed with the right knowledge and care.

Protecting Your Bone Health:
🥛 Boost calcium intake with dairy, leafy greens, and fortified foods
☀️ Get vitamin D through safe sun exposure and supplements
💪 Engage in weight-bearing exercises like walking and light resistance training
🚭 Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption
🩺 Stay current with bone density screenings

Osteoporosis is often called the "silent disease" because bone loss occurs without symptoms until a fracture happens. But here's the good news – it's never too late to strengthen your bones and reduce your fracture risk!

Our wellness team offers bone-healthy activities including balance classes, gentle strength training, and fall prevention programs. We also work closely with healthcare providers to ensure our residents receive proper screenings and treatments when needed.

Strong bones support an active, independent lifestyle. Let's work together to keep your skeleton healthy and strong for years to come!

Every year, we look forward to our Fall Festival at Lakeside, and this year was extra special! The weather actually felt like fall, with cooler temperatures that made it even more fun! We had an absolute BLAST playing games, laughing, and making memories with everyone! And let me tell you, the game that got the most attention was Wack-a-Kid! Those residents sure did enjoy that one! A HUGE thank-you to Affinity Hospice and Payton for providing all the wonderful prizes! Thank you to Friends of Lakeside and GracePointe Church for coming out, volunteering, and spending your time with us. We enjoyed having each and every one of you! It takes special people to make days like this so much fun, and we are so thankful for everyone who helped make our Fall Festival such a

✓ Ask your doctor to explain things in simple terms

Sometimes you just want to sit back, relax, and enjoy a good movie! That’s exactly what we did at Lakeside! We enjoyed Coke floats, popcorn, and a good movie with lots of smiles and a little time to sit back and unwind. Sometimes it’s the simple things that make the sweetest memories!

🎀 Today is National Mammography Day 🎀

At Lakeside Senior Care, we’re reminding our residents, families, and friends that early detection saves lives. Regular mammograms are one of the most effective ways to detect breast cancer early—when it’s most treatable.

Why Mammograms Matter:
📋 They can detect cancer up to 2 years before it can be felt
📈 Early detection leads to better treatment outcomes
💪 Regular screening is recommended for women 40 and older

We encourage the women in our community, and those who love them, to schedule routine screenings and talk with their healthcare providers about breast health. 💗

Together, let’s spread awareness, support survivors, and honor the importance of prevention.
