National Assisted Living Week Celebrates a “Season of Reflection”

Autumn is a season of change. It’s also an  appropriate time to reflect on the positive  aspects of your life — to gain a fresh perspective and focus on what truly matters to you.

That’s the message behind “Season of  Reflection,” the theme of this year’s National Assisted Living Week (September 10 — 16). This theme encourages residents, caregivers, and family members alike to pause and reflect together.

As NCAL Executive Director, LaShaun Bethea explains, “This year’s theme gives us the chance to recognize and thank those who truly make communities across the country a loving home and welcome the sense of renewal that comes with the changing season.”  

Looking back is a guide for going forward.

Reflection enables us to learn from our past experiences and apply what we learn to  future experiences. What we perceive about ourselves, as well as the people and the world around us, affects how we live from day to day. It’s important to recognize that assisted living residents and the people who care for them have an impact on each other’s lives.

In this “Season of Reflection,” take the time to recall and talk about rewarding moments you’ve shared with others — and celebrate life’s little successes together.

During National Assisted Living Week, assisted living communities will be organizing activities and events to help residents reflect on their lives and show gratitude for those who  dedicate their lives to caring for others.
