Going Gold for Senior Living

 

We are proud to join Buckner Retirement Services in Going Gold for Senior Living, a ribbon support campaign designed to highlight and encourage senior living residents and staff.

During the month of June, Texans can show their support for local senior living communities and their residents and staff by displaying a gold ribbon outside homes, businesses and churches.

We have seen the Golden Rule in action like never before as residents committed to following social distancing and quarantine guidance at the cost of countless milestones missed with friends and family. We’ve witnessed associates sacrificing the health and wellbeing of their own families to be available to care for the seniors – truly, like they are family. Yes, the Golden Rule has taken on new meaning in this unique and challenging environment.

Please tie a gold ribbon outside of your home or business, through the end of June to show support for senior living residents and staff. #SupportSeniorLiving

MAKE AN IMPACT:

Displaying a ribbon also signifies the completion of one or more of items from a list created by Buckner detailing ways to make a positive impact in the lives of seniors and senior living employees. The list includes:

 

  1. Become a volunteer at a local senior living community.
  2. Walk or sponsor a walker in your local Heart Walk for the American Heart Association.
  3. Donate to the Alzheimer’s Association to help accelerate research.
  4. Post a positive testimonial on social media about you or your family member’s experience in senior living, using the hashtag #SupportSeniorLiving.
  5. Collect clothing and/or supplies for under-served senior living community residents.
  6. Have your children or grandchildren send pictures, cards or letters to senior living residents. Or, become a pen pal with a senior living resident.
  7. Encourage children to share impactful stories they share with their grandparents.
  8. Advocate for state and federal laws impacting senior adults and senior living by writing your elected officials.
  9. Bring your well-trained pet to visit residents and staff at a senior living community.
  10. Sponsor an event at a senior living community that is open to all residents and associates.
