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 9th at 1:00pm.

Path to Well-Being

Active Aging is celebrating aging and the benefits of active living at any

age. Active Aging Week for 2019 will be held October 1-7. The objective of

the annual health-promotion event is to give as many older adults as

possible, the means to experience wellness activities and exercise in a

safe, supportive environment. It also promotes the benefits of healthier,

more active lifestyles across their life span. Here at the Fountains, we are

going to celebrate by doing a week of Occupational Take-Over. Every day for

the week we are having you all step into the role of what it would be like

to do different occupations, such as an Agriculturer, Tennis Player, Baseball

Player and more! You will experience all the hard work they do in their

profession, yet get you moving, active and have fun doing it! We encourage

everyone to help us make Active Aging Week 2019 a successful one!
