It's National Nonprofit Day, and PSL is proud of our 97 years as a nonprofit leader in senior living!

A number of significant differences exist between non-profit and for-profit senior living communities.

Research by senior advocacy groups found that sponsorship and ownership of a senior living community can affect its quality of care, including quantifiable differences such as hospitalization rates. In addition, non-profit communities are differentiated by their missions, commitment to serving residents and the public, types of stakeholders and other aspects.

This week our Wellness Wednesday features Social Connection and Community!

At PSL, we know that meaningful relationships are the foundation of well-being. Whether sharing morning coffee with neighbors, joining the community choir or celebrating special events together, residents at PSL THRIVE through connections.

Studies from the National Institute on Aging reveal that seniors with active social lives experience better physical health, improved cognitive function, and longer lifespans than their more isolated peers. Regular social interaction has been shown to reduce the risks of cardiovascular problems, arthritis, and even some types of cancer. Strong social connections contribute significantly to cognitive health, with lower rates of depression and reduced risk of cognitive decline.

A key component of our THRIVE Wellness program, social connections promote a fabric on interconnection on our campuses. At PSL, we believe meaningful relationships are the cornerstone of a fulfilling lifestyle. Read more on friendships, connections and senior living communities:
