Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I

have no regret, for I am far surer of what

is kind than I am of what is true.

February 2018

The Inn

February is the month all

about love. We want to

challenge everyone at The

Fountains with a kindness

challenge! Each week we will

have a specific activity where

we will do a kind deed. You

can also partake in random

acts of kindness all month

long. It can be as simple as smiling at someone or having lunch

with a new resident. To keep kindness thriving, we are going to go

to the headquarters of kindness, Ben's Bells! While there we will

volunteer to help decorate pieces of bells that get hidden all

throughout Tucson. We will also learn about their kindness

mission will be leaving at 9:30 a.m. after breakfast on Thursday,

February 15th. Make sure you sign up for that at the front desk or

let April in Community Life know that you would like to go and

volunteer. There are a million ways to be kind. Lets try and use

them all through out the month!

KindnessChallenge It is important that we take the time to

take care of our emotional well-being.

People who communicate their feelings,

remember the good times in the face of

loss and continue to make new friends

are generally better able to adapt to

life's challenges. To help keep your

emotional well-being healthy we have

plenty of emotional outlets to express

yourself. We have a great Alzheimer's

Support Group that meets with family

members that have a loved one that is

affect by Alzheimer's. We also provide

Have a Laugh on Sundays where you can

read a silly little story or write your own.

Another great program is our Pretty

Hands on Wednesday mornings. It is a

great way to get some girl time and

pampering. For these and more activities

that focus on emotional well-being look

for the pink activities in the calendar!

Path to Well-Being

In January, residents from the Inn and the Gardens got the special

experience of taking a bus tour of the University of Arizona campus. We

learned all about the history of the university and even some fun facts

about the way certain buildings were made. For instance, the structure of

the university's chemistry building is built to look like a wildcats face from

the front! This was a real special treat, especially since we've been having

the University's Swim Team coming in and volunteering. They've been

helping us with socials, visiting with residents, and playing games! They've

told us all about what it's like to be on the university's swim team and what

it's like to compete. This is a great intergenerational program that

residents look forward to every week!
