Brandywine Senior Living at Huntington Terrace Celebrates National Assisted Living Week

(Melville, NY)–In observance of National Assisted Living Week®, September 8 to 14, Brandywine Senior Living at Huntington Terrace will host a series of events with their theme “Old Fashion Brandywine Street Fair” developed as a special opportunity to bring together residents, families, employees, volunteers and the surrounding community to celebrate “Homemade Happiness."

“Homemade Happiness” was chosen because it is about celebrating those times, both present and past, that brought us happiness yesterday, fulfills us today, and will inspire the memories of tomorrow.

“Homemade Happiness” celebrates the child in all of us. Whether it is a resident’s first try at hopscotch, the high school dance or their first trip to the Jersey Shore, life is about finding happiness as we move on our journey through life. Jennifer Riedman, Executive Director at Huntington Terrace says, “This weeklong celebration is a demonstration of the commitment assisted living professionals feel when providing care and services to residents in their communities. There’s really nothing like it."

Some of the week’s special events include:

Grandparents Day - Sunday, September 8th at 7:00 PM - Do you remember drive-in movies. Weren’t they great? Especially in the summertime. Top down in the convertible, you, that special someone, the stars and of course, the movie.

Old Fashion Fun – Monday September 9th at 1:00 PM - What’s more fun than a good old fashion sing-along? That’s right…Karaoke! Throw in an old fashion soda pop and now it’s a party.

Patriot Day – Wednesday, September 11th – 2:00 PM - What better way to show our patriotic pride that to celebrate our nation’s heroes. A “Center Sate" performance does the honors.

Horticulture Day - Friday, September 13th – 10:30 AM - What fun!! Residents make their own terrariums and spend the day learning about nature, plants, flowers and all things earthy.
