She shares how, at first, she had to push herself to be social and open to trying new activities at Brightview. Fast forward a few months, and she's a total social butterfly - eager for each day's activities and to spend time with her new friends.

: Meet Kimberly. Her mother resides at Brightview in Wellspring Village, the memory care neighborhood.

Kimberly shared that her mom had previously been living nearby, but as her care needs increased she made the decision to move her to Brightview Sayville. She knew it was the right choice when she saw how attentive the Brightview associates were, consistently checking in and prioritizing her mom’s well-being.

In our final installment of tips, we’re spotlighting how strong minds are built through meaningful connections and proactive medical care.

💬 Social and mental engagement: More than fun, it’s brain-boosting! Interacting with others forms new neural pathways and promotes emotional well-being. One of the most powerful (and surprising) therapies for the brain is volunteering! It gives our residents a sense of purpose and joy while supporting cognitive health.

🩺 Medical health: Managing chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes helps protect long-term brain function. Staying on top of medications and following care plans supports not only brain health, but overall quality of life.

All year long, we empower residents to engage, give back and take charge of their health - all in vibrant, award-winning communities!

Looking for an LGBTQIA + friendly senior living community? Prioritize inclusivity, respect, and a warm sense of belonging.
