    countries, which found that the world’s happiest people live in Northern Europe

    (Denmark, Norway, Finland, and the Netherlands). The US ranked 11th. The report’s

    conclusion affirmatively states that happiness has predictable causes and is correlated

    specifically to various measures that governments can regulate and encourage. And

    there’s more. A new AARP study looks at how Americans feel – and what factors

    contribute to their sense of contentment. It concludes that nearly 50% of us are

    “somewhat happy” and another 19% are “very happy.”

    Friday, 10/9, 3:00 pm – Vitalize 360: Wheel of Life

    Your Health Coach, Kim Rivers, will discuss what the “Wheel of Life” is and what the

    benefits are to your well-being and living healthy.

    Friday, 10/9, 4:00 pm – One Day Univ.: Brain Aging and What Can You Do About It

    Aging is associated with subtle declines in some cognitive abilities, but not others. As we

    age, we become a little more forgetful, we get distracted more easily, and we can’t

    process information quite as quickly as we once did. At the same time, world

    knowledge, emotional processing, and what’s sometimes called “wisdom” tend to

    remain stable, or even improve, with age. Why is that?

    In this talk, Professor Thad Polk, a leading researcher on the neuroscience of aging, will

    address that question by explaining what happens to our brains as we age. In addition to

    discussing specific brain regions whose function tends to decline with age, he’ll also

    present evidence that our brains reorganize themselves in order to compensate for age-

    related declines, so that we can continue to function as effectively as possible as we get

    older. Finally, he’ll describe some scientifically verified approaches that can help you

    and your brain age a little more gracefully.

    - Different Walk, Same Reasons: Walk to End Alzheimer’s

    thing hasn’t changed: The Alzheimer’s Association’s

    commitment to ending Alzheimer’s. This year, Walk to End

    Alzheimer’s® is everywhere — on every sidewalk, track and trail.

    Your health and safety are top priorities. There will not be any large in-person

    gatherings — instead, you’re invited to walk in small teams while others in your

    community do the same. Because we are all still walking and fundraising for the same

    thing: a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.”

    Collington will hold a walk on Friday October 16th 10:00am to honor loved ones, past

    and present with Alzheimer’s and other dementia. If you would like to register through

    Department Announcements

    From the COO, Megan Barbour

    MedStar Update: The MedStar Center for Successful Aging Outpatient Clinic at Collington team will provide a 972 broadcast update on Wednesday, October 7th at 4:30pm. On the broadcast we’ll talk about physician and nurse practitioner recruitment updates and COVID-19 testing within the clinic and updates to reaching the on-call providers after hours and on weekends. COVID-19 PANDEMIC UPDATE We continue to ensure appropriate infection control measures are in place. We would like to remind both residents and team members the need to ensure that masks are covering both your mouth and your nose to be most effective. Hand washing remains an important way to mitigate the spread of the virus as well as other germs and illnesses. Physical distancing of 6 feet is also an important way to protect yourself and others from the virus. Below is the most recent Collington COVID-19 dashboard.

    FROM THE CHIEF OF FINANCE, Justin Reaves

    Dear Collington Residents,

    As you are aware, the BB&T Bank branch, located on Collington’s campus, closed at the

    beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic for the safety of residents, team members, and

    the BB&T employees. Since then, we’ve had numerous discussions with BB&T and sent a

    letter on behalf of the Collington residents, communicating the need for banking

    services. Unfortunately, BB&T is not comfortable opening the Collington branch in the

    midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. For the safety of residents, team members, and the

    BB&T employees the Collington BB&T branch will not open for the foreseeable future.

    In partnership with BB&T, we developed a plan to provide transportation to the

    Kettering BB&T branch, beginning Wednesday September 23, 2020. BB&T Kettering has

    developed a plan to serve Collington residents on Wednesday afternoons each week.

    During this time, Collingon residents will have access to BB&T Kettering and all its

    banking services. See below for additional information.

  • 15 Courier October 5-October 11,2020

    For those residents who have safe deposit boxes, you can email Justin G. Reaves, CFO at

    [email protected] to request access to your safe deposit box. Please

    provide a date and time that works best for you at the time of your request. Once your

    safe deposit box request is made, it can take up to one week for confirmation.

    Below are instructions on how to schedule transportation to the Kettering BB&T branch.

    Beginning September 23, 2020, trips to the BB&T Kettering will be every Wednesday,

    leaving Collington at 1:00 pm.

    To request a trip to the BB&T Kettering Branch:
