Applebee’s? More like Apple-please! 🍽️

Our residents enjoyed a fun lunch outing yesterday, and we loved every minute of it. Getting out into the local community is one of our favorite ways to stay active, stay social, and, of course, enjoy some delicious food.

Earlier this month, our community put on our blue suede shoes and had some fun celebrating Elvis Presley's 91st birthday! 😎

It was an electric afternoon filled with great music, dancing, and delicious ice cream floats, and yes, The King himself even made an appearance!

To everyone who stopped by to make it a rockin' time we say, thank you, thank you very much! 🎸

Maintaining brain health as we age is more achievable than many realize. 🧠

Research shows that addressing key lifestyle factors can reduce the risk of developing dementia by nearly 50%. At UMC, we’re committed to empowering older adults with practical tools that support healthy aging.

In a recent piece by Pamela Garofolo, Vice President of Program Excellence at UMC, she highlights four daily habits that make a meaningful difference: https://umcommunities.org/bristol-glen/blog/4-daily-habits-that-support-brain-health-after-65/

Everyone was decked in their holiday best last week, as we all gathered together for Bristol Glen's annual Christmas party! 🎄

Our celebration was filled with holiday music, festive food, and plenty of other reindeer games for all in attendance, as we were all served an extra dose of joy and cheer.

The holidays are always a special time at Bristol Glen, and we are so fortunate to be able to enjoy them with our entire community. Many thanks to all of our residents, teammates, and volunteers who helped make it such a wonderful day.

We'd also like to give a special shoutout to our Executive Director, Anna Burke, and Administrator Joseph Schmidt, who are both pictured in front of our tree. Thank you all that you do for our community! 😄
