It’s been a busy week at Lakewood! From rock climbing to biking the Capitol Trail, Active Aging Week has kept us moving—and in community with one another.
To us at Lakewood, our theme, Flip the Script means celebrating what older adults can do—breaking stereotypes and showing the strength, creativity, and resilience of aging with purpose.
Tomorrow, we cap the week off with the Parade of Hope to End Alzheimer's and The Grand Finale Block Party. We can't wait to celebrate with everyone!
