Williamsburg Landing’s Health & Rehabilitation Center has been recognized as a 2019 recipient of the Bronze – Commitment to Quality Award by the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL) for its commitment to improving the lives of residents through quality care. The distinction is the first of three progressive award levels through the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program and is valid through 2022.

Williamsburg Landing has announced the appointment of three new members to its board of directors.  Jeanne Zeidler and Elizabeth Fletcher Davis will each serve three-year terms. Residents’ Council President, Tim Wright, was newly elected by the Williamsburg Landing Resident Association. As a non-profit Life Plan Community, Williamsburg Landing is governed by a local 18-member volunteer Board of Directors that includes two voting residents.

Williamsburg Landing provides home care aides for its residents, upon request, who are professionally screened and interviewed. However, residents can also choose to hire caregivers on their own.  Unfortunately, many are not aware of the risks that can occur when bringing outside services into one’s home without thorough vetting, as we have recently learned in our community.

When Older Americans Month was established in 1963, only 17 million living Americans had reached their 65th birthday. About a third of older Americans lived in poverty and there were few programs to meet their needs. Interest in older Americans and their concerns was growing. In April 1963, President John F. Kennedy and the National Council of Senior Citizens designated May as “Senior Citizens Month,” the prelude to “Older Americans Month.”
