Back-to-school season is a reminder that there’s always something new to learn. 📚

Learning doesn’t end with a diploma or a career. At every age, staying curious can mean discovering a new hobby, picking up a new skill, exploring new interests, and more. This back-to-school season, we’re celebrating lifelong learners and the idea that it’s never too late to learn something new.

What’s something you’d still love to learn?

September is World Alzheimer’s Month—a time to raise awareness, encourage understanding, and recognize the millions of individuals and families whose lives are impacted by Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. 💜

At Grace Management, our approach to memory care is rooted in person-centered care. Through The Village Program®, we focus on understanding each individual—their life story, preferences, routines, interests, and abilities—to create meaningful experiences and provide support that honors who they are.

This World Alzheimer’s Month, we encourage everyone to learn more, challenge misconceptions, and help build greater understanding and compassion for those impacted by Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Our residents are getting their kicks on Route 66! 👟🛣️

Beginning September 1, residents across Grace Management communities will take part in our Route 66 Walking Challenge—a friendly competition that turns movement into a 2,448-mile journey from Chicago to Santa Monica.

From daily walks and community strolls to water aerobics, fitness classes, and more, residents can turn all kinds of movement into steps as their communities work their way toward each Route 66 milestone. It’s about more than counting steps. It’s about staying active, having fun, building connections, and enjoying a little friendly competition along the way!

We can’t wait to see where the journey takes our communities. Follow along as our residents get moving, reach milestones, and make their way down Route 66!
