Memorial Day is a time for seniors to remember those who have given their lives in service to America. Thinking and talking about family members and friends who are no longer around can be a very emotional time. Allowing seniors to lean on you for support can be a real act of love. Coronado Retirement Village will be hosting a Memorial Day Celebration honoring those who have given their lives while serving in the US military. We hope here at Coronado Retirement Village that many stories will be told by our senior residents that will allow good memories to be shared with the younger generations.
Celebrating different cultures in senior living communities begins with a vision and ends with creative execution. No matter how complicated the process, no matter how many obstacles must be overcome, remaining tenacious is necessary to be successful and productive.That’s why I am so impressed with the results at Coronado Retirement Village’s Multi-Cultural atmosphere. Although most residents are of a non-Latin background, we encompassed every bit of the Mexican heritage on Cinco De Mayo from perfected carne asada dishes to a seven member Mariachi Band. Residents of CRV toasted their margaritas to another “cultural day” well done.
When it comes to supporting those in need, seniors tend to be very generous. Seniors are especially moved by disasters, such as: hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. During the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe seniors and others donated more than 1.3 billion dollars to Red Cross alone! AARP research shows that seniors of the age 65 and older are the most charitable out of any age group. Since most seniors are retired they are more likely to answer the phone and give donations upon requests. Seniors at CR are too busy to sit around and wait for charitable requests; instead they ban to take matters into their own hands. CRV Residents have decided to take the Monarch School of homeless children
