This Veterans Day at Tampa Gardens Senior Living is extra special. For Joe, Allen, and Paul, this year will be marked with an extra dose of happiness and security. For many Veterans, navigating post-service life can be daunting. After years in a regimented lifestyle, navigating the ins and outs of accommodations, benefits, social services or medical coverage can be tricky. That is where veteran’s workers, social workers, and care teams have been truly changing lives.
Over 40 million Americans act as volunteer caregivers for a family member. Being a caregiver is one of the most difficult and significant roles someone can take on. It can be exceptionally rewarding, but it is also a difficult task full of challenges and hard work.
Caregivers have a huge responsibility, and their role is constantly changing - they have to learn to adapt and be continually flexible to the needs of their loved one. From medication management to staying on top of doctor visits, medical papers, helping with transportation, the activities of daily living, home upkeep, and so much more, caregivers do a lot.
We love Halloween at Pacifica Senior Living. This time of year our communities are transforming into spooky ‘haunted mansions’ or fun-filled festive parties as we celebrate Halloween. Both our residents and staff members from across our communities love getting involved by dressing up in costumes. Whether you prefer scary looks, funny ones, or cute outfits, there are so many ways to celebrate this holiday!
Many of our communities celebrated Halloween over the weekend, and will continue to celebrate with their communities and neighborhoods with trunk or treat events and halloween parties. Here are some of the ways our communities have celebrated this super fun holiday.
At Pacifica Senior Living we love adding a splash of fun. Holidays and events are a great excuse to add a little extra pizzazz and excitement to our activities and craft times. Across our communities, our residents and team members have been making some amazing fall and Halloween creations.
Activities - especially creative ones - are not only fun, but they are hugely beneficial for older adults. A creative outlet can help boost moods, great endorphins, and be both calming and relaxing.
