Key Pillars of Healthy Aging
🎯 Stay Active: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity, like walking, plus strength training twice a week to maintain muscle mass and bone density.
🎯 Nourish Your Body: Focus on nutrient-dense whole foods, such as dark leafy greens and the Mediterranean-style diet, which support long-term cognitive and heart health.
🎯 Protect Brain and Senses: Engage in regular cognitive stimulation, prioritize sleep, and get routine health checks like dilated eye exams.
🎯 Foster Connections: Combat social isolation and loneliness by staying in touch with friends, joining community groups, or picking up new hobbies.

The 2026 Car Show is a wrap!
Spotting familiar cars triggered powerful nostalgia, stimulating fond memories for so many participants this year. Wandering through the selection of cars provided enjoyable time outdoors - even in the heat! What a great opportunity to swap stories with fellow enthusiasts.

Research has proven that farm animals provide psychological and emotional benefits that can sometimes far surpass traditional therapy! And it was obvious when we had Town's End Clydesdales & Carriage visit recently. The cuddles and snuggles and connections made between animal and participant were heartwarming! Thanks so much for visiting us again, Kelly Jo!

We may have missed posting yesterday, but we couldn’t let Pirate Day during our Great Lakes PACE Spirit Week sail by without sharing these fun memories! 🦜⚓️

Our crew traded in our everyday attire for eye patches, bandanas, and plenty of pirate spirit.

🌺🌴 Aloha from Great Lakes PACE! 🌴🌺

Our Spirit Week fun continued today with Hawaiian Shirt Day, and it definitely brought all the tropical vibes! 🌞🌊

It was so much fun seeing everyone trade in their everyday work attire for bright colors, palm trees, and island prints. A little friendly fun goes a long way in bringing smiles to our team and the participants we serve. 💙

Stay tuned to see what the rest of Spirit Week has in store! 😎
