Oh, the places we will go!  


 When  Grandbrier of Prospect Heights   invites you for ice cream, you go!
Aspired Living of Westmont residents visited their fellow Pathway to Living community for socialization and a sweet summer treat. Pathway community get-togethers like this help residents widen their social circles and broaden their horizons with new experiences and an exchange of ideas.


 
with Meteorologist Tracy Butler!   

Chicago's favorite meteorologist, Tracy Butler from ABC 7 Chicago, talked about her career in weather and broadcasting and shared a virtual tour of the ABC studio. Tracy stayed for lunch and sat with a very happy resident, Hattie!   


  


Tapping it Out in Memory Care  

Tap dancing is a form of dance movement therapy that can benefit those with dementia and Alzheimer's. Aspired Memory Care residents took a step in an entertaining and healthy direction when they joined the toe-tapping fun at dance class.  

Reasons to Tap Dance... 
  • Rhythmic movement can help induce calmness 
  • Promotes a mind-body connection that can boost self-awareness and self-confidence 
  • Helps build motor skills to improve balance and coordination 
  • Provides a form of non-verbal self-expression through body language

Pathway Culinarians are serving up heaping helpings of fresh, in season, locally grown food. What's even more exciting is that residents have a hand (literally!) in picking the fruits and vegetables that show up on their plates.
  
Many are rolling up their sleeves to harvest food from local farms as well as from their community's very own Victory Gardens. 

 

 

 


Life Enrichment Aides (also known as LEAs or CNAs) are like superheroes to Pathway community residents. They touch residents' lives daily in many ways-from providing personalized wellness care to helping them look their best to answering calls and needs promptly with an "I can do"
attitude and smile.   
 

Much-deserved root beer float break for LEAs!
