Well our End of Summer Parade was a great success this last week. Thank you to all that participated & stuck it out even in the rain. Everyone loved seeing the cars decorated & music playing and lots of smiles💦🥳😃
It's finally fall, and we cannot contain our excitement! Fall means there is a cool breeze blowing in the air, food becomes a little more hearty and pumpkins show up everywhere! What could be better?! The team at Summerfield Estates want to know, what you would like to see from us this fall season?

Looking back on October of last year & found these awesome pictures. This year is a little different with the social distancing & such. We will be having a Costume contest & Party on the 30th. Looking forward to seeing all the creative costumes, we are even doing a Pet costume contest😃🎃
Once we start to see fall foliage, evening sweaters, and our favorite pumpkin-spiced products back on the shelves, it can only mean one thing: flu season is just around the corner. Getting vaccinated before flu season is in full force gives your body a chance to build up immunity to the virus, and helps stop the spread before it starts. Read this post to get more insight as to why you need to get the flu shot as soon as possible.

With Christmas right around the corner thought we would do a Throw back Thursday😃These are from last year & there are lot's more where those came from. We are thinking & getting creative for these holidays coming up. Stay tune for some Awesome Halloween pictures at the end of the month🎃
Our very own Karen M. is a very talented lady!!!!! She asked if she could help decorate for Fall. I was away doing transportation & came back to a Perfectly decorated Estate. She has an eye for where things should be that's for sure. Thank you Karen M for your hard work, lovely lady😃😃😃😃🎃🎃🎃
The weather is getting colder all across the country, which also means that our immune systems need to be supported! The team at Summerfield Estates want to remind you to stay healthy by bundling up, wearing your mask, and getting your flu shot if you're going to be out and about in the coming weeks!

Daylight Savings time ended yesterday (11/1), and we had to turn our clocks back one hour. How are you feeling today after we all had to "Fall back?"

So, you have decided that now is the time to sell your home and move to a retirement community. Here are a few tips to help you get started:
1. Take it slow. Rome was not built in a day, and neither was your home. Expect this process to take a while, and do not rush it.
2. Do not be afraid to ask for help! Your friends and family are likely more than willing to help you, and you can hire professional help as well. Our community also offers an Easy Move Program that will help you or a loved one move to our facility. Reach out to us today to learn more.
3. When deciding to donate or sell your furniture, consider having the organization or buyer move the furniture for you. This will save both your back and your time since you will not have to move the furniture yourself.
You can do this! Reach out to us if we can help you in any way!

Keep shining everyone & have a fantastic weekend💝💝💝💝💝P.s. had them take mask off so you could see their smiles beaming!!!
With Valentine's Day on the horizon, we are starting to feel the love in the air! We just wanted to tell you that we love you, we appreciate you, and are so thankful that you are part of our family!

This is from over a year ago. Things have changed since then but we are still exercising. Three days a week we deliver puzzle packets door to door. There are exercises on one page of the packets with pictures and step by step instructions. We also have classes with limited space & sign up required. That ends up being 14 exercise classes a week!!!!!! As we come up on the end of our 21 Day challenge here at Summerfield. We definitely have stronger, healthier and happier Residents 💝💝💝💝
Exercising is one of the most important habits for maintaining our strength, stamina and independence as we age. To help keep you mobile, our sister community in Methuen, Massachusetts has put together a list of simple exercises that will make a big impact to your overall health. Read them below.
