We're grateful to share that all residents and team members at Rush Senior Gardens are safe and doing well following today's shelter-in-place order in the East St. Louis area due to a neighboring chemical fire. The order has since been lifted.

Out of an abundance of caution, residents remained safely indoors while our team followed all emergency guidance and monitored updates from local officials. We are thankful for the swift response and leadership shown by our Community Manager and team, whose quick thinking, calm communication and dedication helped ensure the safety and well-being our residents.

We also want to thank our residents for their patience and cooperation throughout the situation.

At Rush Senior Gardens, the safety of those we serve is always our highest priority. EverTrue will continue to stay informed and follow guidance from emergency officials as needed.

Each August 7th, Americans honor the men and women who were wounded or killed in combat while serving our nation as part of Purple Heart Day. This day is special for many members of our EverTrue communities, veterans who carry their own stories of courage and sacrifice to our country.

Veterans like:
🎖️EverTrue resident Robert Schuller, who was a Marine Corps Sergeant (Kilo Company 26) and served in the Vietnam War. He was awarded the Purple Heart in 1968.
🎖️EverTrue resident Merle Freitag, who was in the Army for 32 years, retiring as Lieutenant General. He served the Korean War and was awarded the Purple Heart during service in the Vietnam War.
🎖️EverTrue Care Center client, Paul David McAlister, who was awarded the Purple Heart for his service in the Vietnam War. He served in the Army, retiring as Sergeant.

Many of EverTrue’s communities have specialty groups for our veterans, encouraging them to share their stories and support while looking for new ways to live life to the fullest. Our thanks to all who committed to military service, risking their lives for our freedoms.

Thirty-six years ago, a historic civil rights law protecting the rights of people with disabilities was signed into law. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ensures all people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.

Thanks to building codes and guidance from ADA experts, EverTrue has created communities with accessibility planned for people with disabilities, particularly keeping in mind the accommodations that impact older adults most. We even use ADA concepts to improve surroundings and make life more comfortable for our residents without disabilities.

"These accommodations help residents to maintain their independence and preserve their dignity," said Todd Hageman, a registered architect and Director of Capital Planning & Design at EverTrue. "ADA features enable residents to move more freely and use spaces, like bathrooms, more safely. EverTrue has a long history to fall back on when deciding what is needed: we can look at our past building experience to see what works, what doesn't work and what can be improved."

There’s nothing better in the summer than having a cookout. Whether you’re the grill master or you bring a dish to a potluck, these gatherings are a great way to enjoy time with loved ones and stay active.

EverTrue executive chefs know that eating the right foods — foods that support brain and heart health — are the key to making your summer of cookouts fun and healthy. Be sure to include fruits and vegetables on the menu, have some lean protein options and crank up the flavor (but not the calories) with tasty marinades instead of sauces. Try out this recipe for Grilled Alaskan "Slammin' Salmon" from Executive Chef Mark Shoopman (of EverTrue Lutheran Hillside Village): https://ow.ly/yeiB50ZoBXQ

Many older adults want to downsize but they find the process intimidating — and getting started can be overwhelming. Experts at EverTrue have tips for people to help make downsizing easier, including start small (resist the temptation to downsize your whole house at once), make a schedule, and use the “three-sticker” system to label items to keep, to donate and to toss. 📦🚚

Summer is a great time to get out and enjoy outdoor activities, but it’s important to remember that too much heat and too much sun is not safe for anyone.

Jha Mitchell, an RN and Director of Nursing at EverTrue Mason Pointe, said that it is important to even monitor yourself when coming back inside because "sometimes you don't get the effects of overheating until much later and you think everything's okay."

Older adults can have fun safely this summer by remembering a few tips:
🫗Stay hydrated
☀️Wear (and reapply) sunscreen
🧢Dress appropriately for the weather
⏲️Limit outdoor activities when temperatures are hottest and,
❄️Finally, when you’re starting to feel too hot, cool off somewhere with air conditioning.

Today is a very special Independence Day, as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday. Our Union continues to strive to live up to the guarantees made in the Declaration of Independence 250 years ago, including “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

EverTrue shares the same sentiment, the freedom to live Life According to You — with Liberty and a daily pursuit of Happiness.

We wish all our residents, team members and families a Happy Independence Day! 🎆🇺🇸

As leaders in innovative and quality memory care, EverTrue knows firsthand how an earlier diagnosis can expand treatment options for people living with dementia, improving their quality of life and help them maintain independence longer.

While it may be difficult to distinguish between signs of dementia and the mild cognitive changes that are typical as we grow older, there are 10 early warning signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's and dementia that everyone should know. Learn the top warning signs from the Alzheimer’s Association here: https://ow.ly/6vZP50Z9wcv

If you notice any of the warning signs in yourself or someone you know, don’t minimize or ignore them. A doctor can help determine if these are symptoms of dementia or signs of another disease that affect memory and cognition.

EverTrue, a longtime partner with the Alzheimer's Association, will be here to help if you or a loved one is facing progressing dementia or other memory impairments.
