This year many people will be diagnosed with a form of cancer or have a loved one that is. September is dedicated to raising awareness about two types: Prostate Cancer and Ovarian Cancer. Including aspects related to risk factors, symptoms, early detection, and treatment options. Ideally, we can together increase awareness of these cancers, and improve the care and well-being of those impacted by them.
National Preparedness Month (NPM) is an observance each September to raise awareness about the importance of preparing for disasters and emergencies that could happen at any time. The 2021 theme is “Prepare to Protect. Preparing for disasters is protecting everyone you love.” Have you taken the time to review preparedness in your home?
It is National Assisted Living Week and “Compassion, Community, Caring" is this year's theme. This week we have the opportunity for all of us: residents, their loved ones, staff, volunteers, and local communities to celebrate the individuals who live and work in assisted living communities.
This month there is a national focus on the positive aspects of growing older while drawing attention to healthy aging practices.
