Paradise Pointe Assisted Living and Memory Care is celebrating National Assisted Living Week by commemorating the decades — and the celebrations will feature the music local jazz musician and Paradise Pointe resident Lou Donaldson.
"Officially sponsored by Select Rehabilitation, National Assisted Living Week encourages communities to highlight the dedication of care team members, the individuality of residents, and the deep connections formed in these settings," a press release states. "It is also a time to both look back at where assisted living has been and look ahead to where we’re going as a profession."
Donaldson's music will be played during a '60s themed jazz party for the residents. Donaldson is an award-winning saxophonist who became known for ushering in the soul jazz/jazz funk era, the press release states. He also wrote and recorded "Alligator Bogaloo" and is an International Jazz Hall of Fame Inductee.
“We are so excited to kick-off this weeklong celebration to not only honor our residents, but also their families and our many care team members," said Darlinda Copeland, administrator and CEO of Paradise Pointe. "Hosting engaging, fun and meaningful celebrations with our residents and care team members makes a tremendous difference in their lives."
