Williamsburg Landing's Outstanding Service to Seniors Award

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 grew. 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.”

Are there exercises that can help those with Parkinson’s disease?

By Britnee Cason, Assistant Director of the William A. Doig Health Club and Spa

Recent advances in research have shown that exercise plays an important role in maintaining and improving the quality of life of a person living with Parkinson’s disease. Evidence- based exercise programs specifically for people with PD can be a very effective way of combating some of the symptoms of this movement disorder, such as slowness of movement and postural instability.

Gifting Smart, Gifting Well

National Adult Day Services Week is this week, September 17th-23rd. As we get closer to the opening of Williamsburg Landing Adult Day Center in early 2018, our Senior Director of Development, Sally Wolfe, has created a guide on how to give well.

Like so many things in life, there is an art to philanthropy. “But”, you say, “I’m not a philanthropist!” I bet you are! I bet there are many causes you support. Have you made a gift to your church or your college? Maybe you’ve donated to the American Cancer Society or the Salvation Army? If so, you are a philanthropist!
