Summary
A trip down memory lane on February 28, 2017 had a group of Cedar Village’s resident volunteers and residents delighting in dressing in period garb for a truly magnificent fashion show. Our community volunteers helped our “models” gather their costumes and accessories as well as aid them in their preparations.
On Sunday, March 5, 2017, two members of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Randy Bowman, principal flutist and Dr. Gillian Benet Sella, principal harpist performed a duet of classical music for our Cedar Village residents and their families.
Challenge
In order to make aging an enriching experience, Cedar Village, must be able to provide a variety of inspiring events. We are located just outside Cincinnati, Ohio, and house over 280 elders in our independent and assisted living apartments or in the long term care units of our Skilled Nursing Center. Through special programming opportunities made possible through contributions received from the community, we are able to provide programs inside our four walls as well as bringing our residents to cultural activities throughout the city.
Solution
Since resident engagement is crucial to our mission, we endeavor to provide, classes, concerts, lectures, plays and outings (including special transportation) as well as any programs presented with partners within the community.
Long Term Impact
Enhanced quality of life is crucial to us. Our residents look forward to living engaged, stimulated, and therefore healthier lives in many ways.
