Newton Village celebrates National Assisted Living Week

In observance of National Assisted Living Week, Sept. 7 to 13, Newton Village will sponsor a series of events developed as a special opportunity to bring together residents, families, employees, volunteers and the surrounding community to celebrate The “Magic of Music.”

The “Magic of Music” celebrates the role music plays in the daily lives of assisted living residents. The theme also celebrates the bonds built between residents and their families, friends, staff, and volunteers that make the assisted living community a home for them.

“Music provides comfort, joy and enhances the lives of residents,” administrator Brenda Colvin said. “This celebration recognizes the bonds built between residents and the assisted living professionals who are committed to providing residents with person-centered care and services.”

Some of the week’s special events and music include:

• Family Meal and Door Prizes — 5 p.m. Sunday in the dining rooms

• Harry’s Hawkeye Travelers — 1:30 p.m. Monday in the first-floor activity room

• Cul de Sac — 6:15 p.m. Tuesday in the first-floor activity room

• Jonathan May Magic Show — 1:30 p.m. Thursday in the first-floor activity room

• Steve Knight — 2 p.m. Sept. 12 in the first-floor activity room

National Assisted Living Week is an annual event sponsored by the National Center for Assisted Living, Washington, D.C. For more information on National Assisted Living Week, visit www.nalw.org.
