Celebrating Grandparents Day: Honoring Legacy at Crestwood Manor
Grandparents Day, celebrated on the first Sunday after Labor Day, is a day for families to come together and honor the bonds between generations. It’s a time to reflect on the impact grandparents have on our lives. This year, the holiday is celebrated on September 7.
Crestwood Manor celebrates and supports grandparents year-round through our wellness programming, resort-style amenities, and activities. You can live comfortably while also having access to health services on site.
At Crestwood Manor, every day we focus on celebrating the stories, knowledge, and health of our residents. Our design focuses on connections within our community and cultivating a rich experience. We empower family members to stay involved in their loved ones’ lives by creating ways for meaningful family engagement.
The Importance of Family Support
For older adults, family support is critical in supporting a high quality of life and whole-person wellness.
Crestwood Manor’s multi-dimensional LivWell wellness program emphasizes a holistic approach to each resident’s well-being and encourages family engagement within the community without creating dependency.
Our community includes a variety of common areas for family gatherings, flexible visiting policies for loved ones, and family-friendly events and celebrations. Family support complements senior independence rather than replacing it.
Sharing Stories and Memories Across Generations
At Crestwood Manor, we find importance in creating spaces and opportunities for intergenerational connection. Our modern apartments and resort-style amenities allow for comfortable settings for family visits and story-sharing opportunities, specifically in independent living residences.
Our senior living community offers a range of programs and spaces to facilitate memory sharing. We believe it’s important to encourage these meaningful connections between generations. Our activities are not limited to just our residents. We offer a wide range of activities for families to enjoy with their loved ones. National Grandparents Day is a wonderful opportunity to use as an excuse for shared time with a loved one.
Empowering Senior Independence
Senior independence has evolved into a diverse, resident-centered community with an emphasis on lifestyle and wellness. At Crestwood Manor, we’re dedicated to meeting older adults where they’re at. We want to provide the best possible experience and let residents design their retirement the way they see fit.
Our amenities are designed to enhance your living experience. Modern apartments provide privacy and personal space while giving you easy access to our community features. Access to on-site health services gives residents peace of mind while still having the freedom to live the life they choose.
The Crestwood Manor community is able to support senior independence while providing access to a fitness center, library, art center, woodworking shop, and more. These amenities allow for a customized lifestyle, support, and reduced caregiver stress.
