August 2019 Events at Heathwood Assisted Living

It’s officially August and summer is going by so quickly! But don’t sweat it, there are still plenty of warm, sunny days ahead of us. If you have been busy indoors, it’s time to take the party outside and enjoy some food, soaking up the sun, or read a good book by the lake. Before you know it, we’ll soon be digging out our sweaters and boots again!

We will be enjoying the warm weather with many exciting social activities and great entertainment. Be sure to check out our August Calendar of events for a complete listing and times. Also check out the events and activities in Memory Care here .

On August 2nd, it is national ice cream sandwich day. Did you know that the original ice cream sandwich was invented back in 1899in New York City? It was known for being hand-held and portable and to this day they do not know the name of the pushcart peddler who thought of this ingenious idea. Don’t forget to enjoy the ice cream in the courtyard on the 14th.

Starting on the 12th of this month, we have a whole week dedicated to music. We will be having amazing performances by Bob Neusatz, Top Brass, and our very own Heathwood Songbirds. We also have a trip planned to the Ontario Beach Park for a summer concert by Dady Bros.

Make sure to join us on our trips to the Finger Lakes Race Track on August 7th, the Log Cabin restaurant for dinner and a car show on August 21st as well as our trip to the Red Wing baseball game on August 22nd. There’s a lot more going on this month so be sure to check out our activities calendar !

This month it is also National Eye Exam and Immunization  Awareness Month. It’s a good time to visit the doctor for your yearly checkups, before the cold and flu season hits us again. If you have questions, you can ask one of our nurses for help.

There are still plenty of festivals going on such as the Park Avenue Summer Art Festival on August 3rd and 4th. For kid friendly activities, head to the Seneca Park Zoo or The Strong Museum for plenty of things to see and do. Parents and grandparents know that kids go back to school next month, so we hope you enjoy the rest of the summer together as a family.
