Riverton Enjoys “A Week at the Met” During Assisted Living Week
Inspiring Art-Themed Activities Include a Grand Gala Finale
Thanks to creative imagination and inventive activity planning, residents of Riverton Enhanced Senior Living experienced “A Week at the Met” in celebration of National Assisted Living Week®. From exploring the history of the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art to a fabulous “Met Gala” finale, participants had countless opportunities to learn, share and be inspired, according to Jennifer Simmers, executive director of Riverton Enhanced Senior Living.
“Entertaining and educational programming is vital to the fulfilling lifestyle our residents enjoy here at Riverton,” said Simmers. “Our Life Enrichment team took an artful approach to the theme of this year’s Assisted Living Week – ‘Inspiring Generations’ – and developed some truly unique ways to excite, engage and enhance our sense of community.”
Established by the National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL) in 1995, National Assisted Living Week offers opportunities for personal care residents and their loved ones, professionals and volunteers to recognize and celebrate the importance of assisted living care for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
