It is one of our favorites times of the year again and that is our weeklong celebration of Acitve Aging Week. And while this year may look different than years past, two things are for sure. We will still be crazy spirited, dressing up each day to a theme. And secondly we will be active!
This year’s Active Aging Week theme at Brightview Bel Air is an associate favorite... Spirit Week. The days include:
Monday- Sports Day
Tuesday- Decade Day
Wednesday- Movie Character Day
Thursday- Country Western Day
Friday- Tie Dye Day
We hope you are able to join us virtually throughout the week through some of our favorite photos!
May the fun begin!
