What is a Milestone Birthday?

Milestone birthdays are more than just numbers; they represent significant milestones in our lives and provide an opportunity to celebrate achievements, reflect on the past, and look forward to the future. These birthdays are essential reminders of the passage of time and the value of embracing each stage of life with gratitude and optimism. With milestone birthday celebrations, we honor the journey traveled thus far and recognize the growth, resilience, and wisdom gained along the way. Here’s how you can celebrate your milestone birthdays.

Rocky Mountain National Park

Rocky Mountain National Park is located in northern Colorado. To visit the east side (near Estes Park, CO), follow U.S. I-25 to U.S. Hwy 34 or 36 west to Estes Park. To visit the west side of the park, follow I-70 to U.S Hwy 40 towards Granby, take US Hwy 34 east to Grand Lake, CO.

Innovations in Memory Care

In this care approach, the individual takes center stage in their care plan, focusing on acknowledging their distinct needs, preferences, and abilities. This approach to care recognizes that each person with memory loss is unique, with their own experiences, values, and interests. Memory care communities can provide individualized care and support that meets each resident’s unique needs by taking a person-centered approach to care.

Person-centered care is a holistic approach recognizing that each person with memory loss is unique, with their own experiences, values, and interests. Memory care communities can provide individualized care and support that meets each resident’s unique needs by taking a person-centered approach to care. In this care approach, we prioritize establishing a personal connection with the resident, genuinely getting to know them, their preferences, and their dislikes. By understanding them more profoundly, we can craft a customized care plan that caters to their specific requirements.

Rocky Mountain National Park

Rocky Mountain National Park’s 415 square miles (265,807 acres) encompasses a spectacular range of mountain environments. From meadows found in the montane life zone to glistening alpine lakes and up to the towering mountain peaks, there is something for everyone to discover.

The Importance of Art and Creativity in Senior Wellness

Creative expression is beneficial for everyone. It sparks activity in the brain and body, helping you feel more connected to yourself, those around you, and your community. Art therapy is a powerful tool that has helped many people recover from strokes and traumatic brain injuries. Creative expression helps reduce stress while enhancing feelings of hopefulness.

It can connect you with yourself, boosting self-understanding and expression, and it’s an excellent tool for improving focus and decision-making. Creative activities can help minimize feelings of isolation, instead helping enhance social skills. It also helps decrease pain and fatigue, reduce negative emotions, and reduce anxiety by more than 70%.

Equally important, artistic experiences are both fun and fulfilling, making them a wonderful way to spend time and engage with others.

Rocky Mountain National Park

Rocky Mountain National Park is home to approximately 1,100 species of vascular plants including 900 species of wildflowers! Many different plants found in the montane, subalpine, and alpine ecosystems.

Recipe Spotlight:

Beignets & Berries

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water (120° to 130°), divided
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
  • 1 large egg
  • 3-1/4 to 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • Oil for deep-fat frying
  • Confectioners’ sugar
  • Berries and whipped topping, optional

Directions:
Beat butter, sugar, salt and cinnamon until crumbly. Beat in 1/2 cup water and evaporated milk. In another bowl, dissolve yeast in remaining 2 tablespoons water; add to milk mixture. Beat in egg until blended.

Add 2 cups flour; mix until well blended. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky). Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover; refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.

Bring dough to room temperature. On a floured surface, roll dough into a 16×12-in. rectangle. Cut into 2-in. squares. In a deep cast-iron skillet or deep- fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Drop beignets, a few at a time, into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners’ sugar. If desired, serve with assorted berries and whipped topping.
