April 2024: The Importance of Community in the Golden Years: A Focus on Aviva Pembroke
As we age, the value of community becomes increasingly apparent. Whether it’s for emotional support, intellectual stimulation, or simply companionship, being part of a community can greatly enhance the quality of our golden years. This rings especially true for the future residents at Aviva Pembroke, where community-centric programming will be the heart of their mission.
Allison Hechtkopf, the Executive Director of Aviva Pembroke, understands the vital role that community plays in the lives of seniors. She believes that fostering a sense of belonging and connection is essential for optimizing the lifestyle of residents. With this vision in mind, Aviva Pembroke has begun developing a range of innovative programs designed to promote community engagement and enhance the overall well-being of its residents.
One such program will be the “Neighbors Helping Neighbors” initiative, which encourages residents to support each other through acts of kindness and companionship. From organizing walking groups to assisting with errands, this program not only strengthens bonds within the community but also will promote a sense of purpose and fulfillment among residents.
In addition to this, Aviva Pembroke will offers a variety of social activities and events aimed at bringing residents together. From art classes and book clubs to group outings and holiday celebrations, there will always be something happening at Aviva Pembroke to foster a sense of community and camaraderie.
