The Gems in Jewelry Making

The Gems in Jewelry Making

Jewelry making has become a fan favorite recently at Legacy Reserve. Making jewelry allows the residents to express their creativity and create unique pieces of wearable art. For seniors looking to stay active and engaged in their retirement years, jewelry making provides an excellent opportunity to learn new skills and techniques while socializing with like-minded individuals. Not only does jewelry making offer a creative outlet for self-expression, but it also has therapeutic benefits by improving hand-eye coordination and cognitive skills. Through the creation of handmade jewelry pieces, our residents can share their talents with others, boosting their confidence and sense of accomplishment. Ultimately, jewelry making is an enjoyable and enriching hobby that can enhance the lives of our residents in countless ways.

Visitors have unparalleled opportunities to observe wildlife in an intact ecosystem, explore geothermal areas that contain about half the world’s active geysers, and view geologic wonders like the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River.

Legacy Gives Back: M2540 Coat and Tent Drive

In November we will focus our charitable giving to a local organization, M2540. M2540 is a local nonprofit that aids our homeless population in Columbus, GA and surrounding areas. Senior citizens are often a key demographic when it comes to charitable giving, with many retirees choosing to donate their time, money, and resources to various causes. Our residents have a desire to give back to their community. Studies have shown that senior citizens are more likely than other age groups to donate consistently. Engaging with nonprofits can cultivate lasting relationships and drive meaningful impact in the lives of our residents and the less fortunate in our community.

American Diabetes Month

November is recognized as American Diabetes Month, a time to raise awareness about the prevalence and impact of diabetes on individuals and communities. With over 34 million Americans living with diabetes and an additional 88 million adults at risk for developing type 2 diabetes, this chronic condition continues to be a major public health concern in the United States. During this month-long observance, we will collaborate with healthcare professionals, organizations, and advocates to come together to educate our residents about the importance of prevention, early detection, management strategies, and resources available for those affected by diabetes. Our goal here at Legacy is to empower our residents to make informed decisions about their health and well-being and promote healthy lifestyle choices.

An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure

An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure

Vaccines for seniors are crucial in preventing serious illnesses and complications that can arise due to weakened immune systems. As individuals age, their immune response tends to decline, leaving them more susceptible to infectious diseases. Vaccinations not only protect seniors from contracting potentially life-threatening diseases, but also help reduce the spread of these illnesses within the community. Legacy held the Fall Flu and RSV Clinic on October 15th and will host the Covid Clinic on November 4th. By staying up-to-date on recommended immunizations, our residents can lower their risk of illness and hospitalization, ultimately allowing them to lead healthier and more independent lives.
