Whereas, the number of elderly and Americans with disabilities is dramatically
increasing; and
Whereas, assisted living is a long term care service that fosters choice, dignity,
independence and autonomy in our elderly nationwide; and
Whereas, the National Center for Assisted Living proudly created National
Assisted Living Week® to demonstrate how much we care for our residents and
appreciate the staff members that deliver care every day; and
Whereas, the theme of National Assisted Living Week® 2014; "The Magic of
Music", highlights the healing effect music can have on individuals living with
dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease; and
Whereas, almost 40 percent of assisted living residents have some type of
dementia;
Now, Therefore, I, Harold S. Turville, Jr., Mayor of the City of Clermont, do
hereby proclaim the week of September 7 through September 13, 2014 as
.NationaCAcsistedliving Week®
in the City of Clermont, Florida. I urge all citizens to visit friends and loved ones
who reside at these communities and to learn more about how assisted living
services benefit our communities.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great
Seal of the City of Clermont to be affixed this 26th day of August, two thousand
