💪 September is Healthy Aging Month—Let’s Build Strength Together! 💪

Each Friday this month, we’re spotlighting key areas of healthy aging to inspire older adults to live well—physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. This week, we’re focusing on bone and muscle strength, essential for maintaining mobility, independence and overall vitality.

At Cornwall Manor, residents enjoy access to resources that support strong bodies and active lifestyles—from nutritious dining to engaging fitness programs and a vibrant community that nurtures holistic wellness.

🌿 Nutrition for Strength & Stability 🌿
Strong bones and muscles start with smart nutrition. Our USDA-certified organic farm provides fresh, seasonal produce that’s rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin K—nutrients that help maintain bone density and muscle function. These farm-fresh ingredients are featured in our dining room meals and available every Friday at our Farm Market.

Incorporating vegetables like leafy greens, sweet potatoes and squash into daily meals can help older adults meet their nutritional needs for bone and muscle health. Experts recommend consuming two to three cups of vegetables daily to support strength, balance and resilience.

At Cornwall Manor, we believe aging well means staying strong—inside and out. Stay tuned each Friday for more tips to help you thrive at every stage of life! 🌟

🌼 Happy Grandparents Day! 🌼

Today we honor the incredible role grandparents play in shaping families, communities and hearts. Their wisdom, resilience and unconditional love are the foundation of generations — and we’re especially grateful for the remarkable residents who live right here at Cornwall Manor. 💛

They are mentors, storytellers, caregivers and friends. Every day, they remind us of the value of connection, tradition and the simple joys of life. Their legacy lives on in the lives they’ve touched — and we’re proud to celebrate them today and always.

September is Healthy Aging Month! 💪

Each Friday this month, we’ll spotlight a key area of healthy aging to inspire and empower older adults to live well—physically, mentally, emotionally and socially. From staying active to nurturing connections, these weekly posts will offer practical tips and encouragement to support vibrant aging at every stage.

Living at Cornwall Manor provides residents with many of the resources and opportunities needed to support healthy aging and holistic wellness—through nutritious dining, engaging activities, recreation opportunities in a vibrant community that nurtures mind, body and spirit.

This week, let's focus on 🌿 Nutrition for Longevity 🌿
During Healthy Aging Month, we celebrate the power of wholesome food to support vibrant living at every age. At Cornwall Manor, our onsite USDA-certified organic farm provides residents with fresh, seasonal produce grown just steps from their homes. Produce is used in meals in the dining room and can be purchased on Fridays at the weekly Farm Market.

These nutrient-rich vegetables are packed with antioxidants, fiber and essential vitamins that promote heart health, cognitive function, and strong bones—key pillars of aging well. By integrating farm-to-table nutrition into daily life, we support our residents to thrive with energy, resilience and purpose. Older adults should incorporate two to three cups of vegetables into their diet each day.

In the news! Please plan to join us for this special resident artist exhibit.
