In February, the Greater Princeton branch of AYLUS (GPA) continued volunteering at the Brookdale Senior Living in Hillsborough (600 Auten Road, Hillsborough, NJ 08844; Community 908-431-1300).
About Brookdale Senior Living: There are plenty of vibrant seniors out there who are ready, willing and able to take on the world—with just a bit of help. If you’re living a mostly independent lifestyle but could use an extra hand with some of your day-to-day activities, Brookdale Hillsborough, with both assisted living and memory care, could be right for you.
You’ll have help with managing your medications, dressing and bathing, as well as services like housekeeping and meals. You’ll also find comfort knowing that staff is on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to be alerted to an emergency. That means you can spend time on the things you really want to do while we take care of the rest. And with most utilities and maintenance included, you’ll have fewer bills to worry about. So go ahead and take that painting class and then meet up with friends for bingo. Here you get to redefine your independence with new friendships and the chance to explore new interests or revisit old hobbies.
GPA members Ethan He (2/5, 2 hrs) and Isabella He (2/5, 2 hrs) led this Social Hours program. They called for bingo games and helped with snack service within the social hours, etc.
