Our Alive in All Seasons’ theme for August is The
Environment. Our communities will focus their efforts on maintaining healthy
environments through environmentally conscious activities. Our “Green Canopy”
program emphasizes designing and operating buildings that meet new standards of
environmental sustainability. We are proud to be the first long-term care
company with a building in the US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design (LEED) program.
According to research by Go Green, Americans throw away 2.5
million plastic bottles every hour; 25 billion Styrofoam cups and 40 billion
soft drink bottles and cans each year. Eighty-four percent of the average
American’s household trash can be recycled. If we recycled just 1/10 of our
newspapers 25 million trees could be saved. Are we all doing our part?
Join us this month as we learn more about the environment,
expand our wide-scale recycling program, learn more about environmental
sustainability programs and work with our community Green Teams to promote our
“Green Canopy” initiative. We encourage you to accompany us on this
environmental journey so that we can all continue to Breathe in Life!
Our fabulous activity offerings this month include our Let’s Go Green BBQ for a health-conscious gathering with some of the usual trimmings and festive music by Dave Hidalgo on our sunny Juniper patio nestled in our Highlands Neighborhood on August 8th from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm; our Breathe In Life Hawaiian Luau festive party with great music provided by Just The Two Of Us and a variety of refreshments held in our Country Store on August 21st from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm; or our Alive in All Seasons Carnival event on our Juniper patio featuring your favorite carnival treats like kettle corn, candied apples, and snow cones with carnival games for prizes on August 28th from 10:00 am to noon. Take a look at our calendar and join us for any and all activities that will help you make the most of these last few weeks of summer.
