June is Men’s Health Month and here at Falcons Landing we are excited to share some of what makes our community special. As a military-themed retirement community, residents have the common bond of service to our country. Once you are here, you are sure to experience a thrilling next chapter of your life.
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.
