Local Residents Enjoy Creative and Educational Trip Down Memory Lane
MOORESTOWN, N.J. (Sept. 14, 2023) — Cambridge Enhanced Senior Living is celebrating National Assisted Living Week® with a week-long exploration of the 1970s. Cambridge’s assisted living residents are “strolling down memory lane” via a series of activities highlighting the decade’s memorable and meaningful moments.
“Active, fun and educational programming is essential to the fulfilling lifestyle our residents enjoy here at Cambridge Enhanced Senior Living,” said Kathy Leypoldt, executive director. “The theme of this year’s Assisted Living Week – ‘Season of Reflection’ – inspired our Life Enrichment team to come up with some truly unique ways to entertain, engage and deepen our sense of community.”
Established by the National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL) in 1995, National Assisted Living Week offers opportunities for assisted living residents and their loved ones, professionals and volunteers to recognize and celebrate the importance of assisted living care for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Cambridge Life Enrichment lead Julia Jackson noted that the choice of the ‘70s – a decade when peace, love and understanding were alive and well, disco was dominating music, and Watergate rocked the nation – best reflects the personality of the Cambridge community. Throughout the week, daily themed events encourage residents to share special moments like weddings and anniversaries and recall how children had fun during that time. Other activities focus on key historical events, and an “Outrageous Friday” party will close out the celebration in the true spirit of the decade.
“It is a special week for everyone involved,” said Jackson. “Not only are we learning about this period in history, but the memories and experiences shared by our residents are truly priceless.”
