The Charlotte Assisted Living & Memory Care

Together, we can 💜

Deborah McMillan-Key from the Alzheimer's Association visited our community to share some valuable information about how to best support brain health. She taught us a few simple lifestyle changes that our Members can start doing immediately to help support their health. One of the things she talked about was the importance of 7-9 hours of sleep every night 😴 to help fully rest after every day. She also shared that you should be working your brain with puzzle games 🧩 and reading often, too.

After our visit from the Alzheimer's Association, we held an ice cream social fundraiser 🍦 to support the important work they do. Both Members and team members made donations and enjoyed ice cream with all the toppings: fresh strawberries, mini M&M's, crushed Oreos, peanuts, sprinkles, chocolate, caramel, or strawberry sauce, and whipped cream with a cherry on top. It was a fun and delicious way to support the Alzheimer's Association's efforts. 💜

Happy first day of Summer! ⛱️✨

With more daylight to enjoy, we're making the most of every sunny moment here at The Charlotte. Whether it's a relaxing bike ride around the neighborhood, a peaceful walk surrounded by greenery, or a little friendly competition in the outdoors with our friends and favorite yard games, there's never a moment that's dull. Longer days mean more time to do the things we love! We invite you to come soak up the sunshine with us! ☀️

To the fathers, grandfathers, and great grandfathers, we love you. Happy Father's Day from Brightwater! 💙

Our Friday outing included a special visit to the Fire Department 🚒 to deliver goodies 🍪 and express our heartfelt appreciation ❤️ for the firefighters' dedication and service. 👨‍🚒👏 We are so grateful to have some incredible service men in the Charlotte area 🏙️, so we are so happy to support them. 🇺🇸❤️ They invited us to see their brand-new fire station 🏢✨ that opened a week ago. We loved the opportunity to do a little something 🤗 for the people who do so much for us and our community. 🚒❤️🏡🙌😊

Namaste. 🧘‍♂️✨ We love Hampton! ❤️ He is the incredible instructor who walks our Members through chair yoga! He leads a class that offers Members a chance to stretch, strengthen, and relax in a supportive environment. 🌿💪 Through gentle movements and mindful breathing Members improve flexibility, balance, and overall well-being. 😊✨

Juneteenth is a celebration of humanity, history, and freedom. 💚💛❤️

Our Member, Bill, is our first Wellness Warrior! 💪🏆 Our Wellness Associate, Kimberly, just started this program, which recognizes one Member each month for their dedication to fitness and healthy habits. 🌟🏃‍♂️ Tiffany, the Director from Broad River Rehab, was with us to congratulate Bill for this achievement. 🎉 He religiously attends an exercise class every day, and you can often find him in the gym or walking laps, both inside and outside the building. We are proud of Bill's work in living The Weller Life! 🤍💙💚

We are so fortunate that Cuthbertson High School 🎶🎓 shares their chorus with us twice a year: they treat us to both a holiday concert and an end-of-year production 🎤✨. It's fun to see how the students' vocal skills develop more each time they visit. 🌟 This time, they shared both solo and group performances 🎼🎶 that really showcased their abilities. 👏🎵

Many of our team members have talents that go beyond their job titles, and Allen is one of them! 🎶✨ He is not only our amazing and dedicated maintenance technician 🔧, but he is also our resident DJ! 🎧💿 Spinning favorite hits from the 1950s and 1960s 🎵🕺, Allen had everyone dancing, singing along, and reminiscing about treasured memories. 🎤❤️ His music brought smiles to both Members and team members 😊, creating a fun Friday afternoon that will always be remembered. 🎶 We truly appreciate Allen for sharing his time and talents to make our day so special! 👏🎵
