A hero is defined as a person who shows great courage and is admired for their achievements and noble qualities according to Merriam Webster. There’s no mention of flash and capes, because true heroes, like those in our communities, are too busy serving courageously in their PPE instead. We call them Vital Heroes because they are essential in bringing vibrancy to the lives of our residents and their families, especially now. Here are just some of the ways they make a difference.
Are you caring for a loved one yourself? We know it isn’t easy, so we’ve created a resource that helps each day go a little more smoothly. The Caregiver’s Checklist: Supporting an Aging Parent covers a wide variety of topics ranging from creating a safe home environment, to how to recognize the signs a senior needs more assistance.

Celebrating During National Assisted Living Week and Beyond
Last week we honored our Vital Heroes during National Assisted Living Week for caring first for residents, families and each other no matter the circumstances. It was a great week celebrating them with fun activities across our communities.
But we didn’t feel that was quite enough given their achievements so we created our own holiday for them, Vital Heroes Day, which we will continue to celebrate each year. You’ve seen what makes our caregivers heroes to our residents and families, now take a look at this video to see why we admire these heroes so much!
