Every May, the Administration for Community Living celebrates Older Americans Month to recognize the contributions of seniors past and present—with a special attention to those who have served our country in the armed forces. Because Falcons Landing was founded by military officers looking to create extraordinary retirement living, this month is especially meaningful for all of us here.
April is National Stress Awareness Month and has been recognized every year since 1992. According to the American Institute of Stress, 77% of people experience stress which eventually impacts their physical health, so this month is a great reminder to destress and enjoy life.
Owning a pet can be both a healthy and enjoyable experience. For older adults, the unwavering companionship they provide is especially appreciated as a way to combat loneliness. In fact, a 2020 study by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine cited the health risks associated with social isolation and loneliness. It found that the former significantly increased the risk of premature death and dementia while the latter was associated with higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide.
The month of February isn’t just for Romeos and Juliet’s. It’s also American Heart Month, which serves as a reminder to care for your heart. One way to do that is by adopting healthy lifestyle habits that can help you prevent heart disease. Initiatives run by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute are founded on the research that having social support and personal networks make it easier to adopt such habits.
