S.P.J.S.T Assisted Living residents and staff celebrated Assisted Living Week with a root beer floats, popcorn and an indoor baseball game. The annual celebration is in honor of National Assisted Living Week, held from Sept. 9-15, which aims to provide opportunities for residents, families, staff, volunteers and the surrounding communities to come together to share with residents a variety of events and activities that show them how much they are cared for by others.


Though they make sure to be active during National Assisted Living Week, Taylor’s S.P.J.S.T staff works to show love and appreciation for residents throughout the year. From offering a fitness class, to raised garden beds and other activities, staff always has something to offer residents with varying interests.
