Had a great day today at our OARS Leadership Meeting. This is the meeting where we work on anything related to Moose Lake Village’s onboarding and retention strategies and most importantly, the employee’s experience. Today we shared with each other what we thought their SuperHero Power was and received some very necessary validation! It also felt good for us to validate and support one another.

The picture is of two of our OARS Superheroes who appear to be twinning today!

National Gorgeous Grandma Day is celebrated on July 23rd. It's a day to honor and celebrate grandmothers, recognizing their beauty, wisdom, and the positive influence they have on their families. The day encourages people to appreciate the achievements and enduring spirit of older women, encouraging them to embrace their gorgeous selves!

Moose Lake Village Assisted Living celebrated the day in style with a gorgeous fashion show at Kenwood and a lot of fun!

Here's to all you beautiful women out there! We salute you!

July is Social Wellness Month
Celebrate Social Wellness Month by nurturing your social relationships. Volunteer with a group. Call an out-of-state friend. Join a hiking club.

Social wellness means nurturing yourself and your relationships.

It means giving and receiving social support - ensuring that you have friends and other people, including family, to turn to in times of need or crisis to give you a broader focus and positive self-image.

Social support enhances quality of life and provides a buffer against adverse life events. Social support can take different forms:

Emotional (sometimes called non-tangible) support refers to the actions people take to make someone else feel cared for.
Instrumental support refers to the physical, such as money and housekeeping.
Informational support means providing information to help someone.
One of the earliest studies on the physical and psychological health benefits of social support was in 1905. Dr. Joseph Pratt, an internist from Boston, gathered a group of tuberculosis patients together to educate them about hygiene in relation to their illness. This "support group" provided early evidence of the power of psychological support in physical health and healing.

Why is Social Wellness Important?
Healthy relationships are a vital component of health. The health risks from being alone or isolated in one's life are comparable to the risks associated with cigarette smoking, blood pressure, and obesity.

Research shows that:

People who have a strong social network tend to live longer.
The heart and blood pressure of people with healthy relationships respond better to stress.
Strong social networks are associated with a healthier endocrine system and healthier cardiovascular functioning.
Healthy social networks enhance the immune system's ability to fight off infectious diseases.
Nurture Your Relationships
According to Drs. Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks, in their book Lasting Love: The 5 Secrets of Growing a Vital, Conscious Relationship, the following concepts are instrumental in attaining a healthy and lasting relationship.

1. Become a master of commitment. It's important to be aware of precisely what you are committing to, so that you can realistically judge whether or not you have the capacity to follow through on the commitment.

2. Make commitments you can stand by. In a relationship, it is important to be honest and empathetic to each other's feelings, hopes, and dreams.

3. Break the cycle of blame and criticism. It is important to own your part in the relationship dynamics.

4. It can be helpful to shift your attention away from "fixing the other person" and onto more creative expressions for resolving conflict. Shifting the focus in this way will help to inject more positive energy into the relationship.

5. Become a master of verbal and nonverbal appreciation. Showing appreciation of others is critical to healthy relationships.

Learn more about nurturing relationships.

How Can I Grow My Social Network?
Work out. Joining a gym or an exercise group allows you to meet new people while exercising.
Take a walk with your pet. Starting a walking routine after dinner would not only give you another opportunity to be physically active, but it would also create more opportunities for you to meet your neighbors.
Volunteer. Donate some of your time and hard work to a charity. You'll feel good about the cause, and you'll meet others with similar passions.
Find others who share a hobby, such as hiking, painting, scrapbooking, running, etc.
There are countless ways to grow your social network. Consider your interests and hobbies, and then pursue them. You're bound to find others with similar passions.

We love to do "Movement Challenges" at Moose Lake Village, just to get folks---staff and residents---inspired to keep moving! Here is an example of our latest one that demonstrates the amazing creativity of our Activities Department!

Thank you to all who participated!!

✨ The Great Fairy Trek: A Walking Challenge Adventure! ✨

Hooray! The Fairies Are Home!

After 1,200 magical miles, through twinkling forests, rainbow mountains, dragon caves, and candy-colored rivers — we did it!
Thanks to your brave steps and big hearts, the fairies have finally fluttered back to their mushroom village in the Enchanted Glade. The wild windstorm that blew them far away is now just a story they tell around the glowshroom campfire.
Their wings are untangled, their pixie dust jars are full again, and the sparkle in the Glade is brighter than ever. Little lanterns glow from every toadstool roof, laughter rings through the trees, and the fairies are already throwing a welcome-home party with glittery cupcakes and dancing fireflies.
You didn’t just help them find their way — you brought them home.

Mission accomplished. 🌟🧚‍♀️✨

We will have a garden party with the fairies on July 14th starting at 2pm!
