A beautiful thing about a retirement community is that very word: COMMUNITY
That doesn’t start right away though
People need to get acclimated to their new environment
Just another way we help support older adults + their families
Let us help. Visit https://t.co/UGzIKEcoVL
Did you know: aging services professionals offer a wide range of support to match older adults’ specific needs? Watch our Choices video during #OlderAmericansMonth to see the many options for older adults to stay #PoweredByConnection all year long.
We were at 4 communities today laughing with seniors + getting referrals for friends not quite as social as them

What a big day for care! Thrilled to see @POTUS champion caregiving in all forms! LOVE to see @NA4Caregiving & @AARP research shape this critical policy work. Learn more about the progress being made by the @WhiteHouse 👉: https://t.co/xK6zPNdmY1 #CaregiverNation#CareCantWait
Is stress linked to the risk of dementia? It’s hard to know for sure. Our research team looked at the evidence and found stress could play a role in dementia development but is unlikely to be the only factor: https://t.co/8PcJKTp6GC

Insightful time with a group of older adults thinking if “they should stay or go” to a senior community from their home
At Happy Talks, we appreciate being a part of these conversations
Listening + Connection is what it’s all about 💛

"Should I Stay or Should I Move?" 🤷♀️
It's a question that a lot of older adults are thinking about + families are discussing as they explore Active Adult Communities.
If you're in the Atlanta area, join us March 21st at Holbrook Acworth
