“Art for the Ages” is the theme for National Assisted Living Week ®. Art is an important part of all our lives, and during this time, assisted living communities celebrate the art our residents, families, friends, and staff have created and continue to create to enhance their own life experience and the world around them. “Art for the Ages” is an opportunity to share, enjoy, and to congratulate the mastery of art, music, sports, and the development of skill.
“Residents and staff in our assisted living facilities are excited to celebrate this year’s artistic theme,” explains Amy Cotton, nurse practitioner and EMHS director of Operations and Senior Services Quality. “Art brings out the best in people and we feel fortunate to have such talented residents, staff, and family members in our assisted living communities.”
