September 27, 2022 (Cheektowaga, NY) ─ September is a month filled with opportunities to celebrate the art of aging well. September 11-17 is National Assisted Living Week, September 21 is World Alzheimer’s Day and September 22 is National Centenarian Day. There’s been an abundance of ways to raise awareness and shine a spotlight on aging at Glenwell, a DePaul Senior Living Community in Cheektowaga!

 

On Saturday, September 24, several Glenwell staff members and residents’ family members participated in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Buffalo. Pictured left to right at the walk are Marketing Director Stacy Jasinski, Resident Care Director Monique Washington-Mathews, Administrator Tina Hagen and Assisted Living Program Director Dominique M. Glenwell was mentioned at the walk for having one of the top fundraising efforts with a total of $3,191 raised for the Western New York Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association through hot dog, ice cream, chocolate and bracelet sales, as well as football squares.

In celebration of National Assisted Living Week, September 11-17, residents headed to Hamburg Gaming. Pictured in the group photo are residents Barb Kreuzer, Helen Scolino, John Gerhardt, Carol Fazio (back) Dolores Dominiak. Established in 1995, National Assisted Living Week is an opportunity for residents, their loved ones, staff, volunteers and the community to recognize the role of assisted living in caring for seniors and individuals with disabilities.

Glenwell would like to thank the community for their support of their many sales to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association, as well as generous and thoughtful donations such as these exquisite handmade quilts and pillowcases from the Scrappy Treasures quilting group being displayed by residents Dolores Dominiak and Helen Scolino.

“Our residents and staff enjoyed creating joyful moments and making fun memories during the celebration of National Assisted Living Week” said Administrator Tina Hagen. “Glenwell is very lucky to have a community that recognizes the importance of assisted living in caring for our area seniors.”
