💜⚡ Power Up for Purple! ⚡💜

This week, Westminster Village joined the fight to end Alzheimer’s by hosting a Power Up for Purple fundraiser to support the Alzheimer’s Association.

Our amazing staff had the chance to purchase a special “dirty” energy drink—and thanks to their generosity (and love of caffeine 😉), together we raised over $400 for this important cause!

A huge thank you to everyone who participated and helped make a difference. Every dollar brings us one step closer to a world without Alzheimer’s. 💜✨

Blurry or spotty vision and headaches can be early indicators of vision loss. Here is your reminder to schedule your yearly eye exam!

August is National Eye Exam Month. Deteriorating vision can be an early indicator of other health issues and can affect overall quality of life. According to the CDC, about 11 million people over the age of 12 need vision correction in the United States. Getting vision exams on a regular schedule helps doctors to identify issues in their early stages.

✈️ Happy National Aviation Day! ✈️

Today we were thrilled to welcome Chip Stembler, flight instructor with Purdue Aviation, to Westminster Village for a fascinating aviation presentation! 🛩️

Residents enjoyed an inside look at Purdue’s impressive aviation program through Chip’s slideshow — showcasing the different types of training aircraft on campus and a remarkable flight simulator so realistic that students can log actual flying hours while using it 🎮✈️

He also brought along real flight gear, including:

A pilot’s headset 🎧

Flight maps 🗺️

Instruction manuals 📘

Our group had a fantastic time asking questions and learning about what it takes to become a pilot. We even watched this amazing video about Purdue Aviation to top it all off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHXgs6HSrrA

Thank you, Chip, for celebrating National Aviation Day with us and giving our residents an unforgettable experience! 💛🖤
