[A]utumn, that season of peculiar and
inexhaustible influence on the mind of
taste and tenderness, that season which
has drawn from every poet, worthy of being read, some
attempt at description, or some lines of feeling. She occupied
her mind as much as possible in such like musings and
quotations...
~Jane Austen
A highlight each month for our Thriving Residents, is participating
in the Watermark University classes that helps them both physically

beginning of the flu season! We strive to help bring healthy
knowledge to our residents, so join Nurse Tracy on Wednesday,
October 17, with her health presentation about Flu and Pneumonia.
Also, join Katie, owner of Achieve Footwear, as she shares her
knowledge of Foot Care needs on Tuesday, October 23.

It's AlreadyOctober... This October, Watermark Retirement
Communities is proud to participate in
National Breast Cancer Awareness
Month.
Breast cancer is the second most
common kind of cancer in women.
About 1 in 8 women born today in the
United States will get breast cancer at
some point.
The good news is that many people can
survive breast cancer if it’s found and
treated early.
Talk to a doctor about your risk for
breast cancer, especially if a close
family member of yours has had breast
or ovarian cancer. Your doctor can help
you decide when and how often to get
mammograms.
For more information on Breast Cancer
Awareness, please join Nurse Lynn on
Wednesday, October 10th.
Path to Well-Being
Holy Cow, what a perfect day spent with one of our other Fountains
Community from Kalamazoo, Michigan. in the City of Chicago! We started
the day taking the train into the City, followed by a taxi ride to the World's
Famous Harry Caray's Restaurant! The food was delicious, The Memorabilia
all over was fascinating to look at and seeing the Residents from the 2
Communities conversing, as if they knew each other forever, was simply
amazing! After lunch we went on the Wendella Architectural Boat Tour,
along the Chicago River. The history was so interesting that even some of
the Residents that lived in Chicago learned so much from the boat ride! We
then had to say goodbye to our "new friends" from Kalamazoo and head
back to the train station. As we were leaving the City, the whole train ride
back home, the Residents kept sharing how much fun they had!
