Drake Terrace by Kisco Senior Living Fundraising for Alzheimers During 2013 National Active Aging Week

SAN RAFAEL, CA (September 4, 2013) --  The 2013
Active Aging Week theme “Discover Your Community” recognizes the important role
that older adults play in a host of communities including vocational,
geographical and cultural.  They are
sources for history and leadership, caring and friendship.  As neighbors, club members, working
professionals or volunteers, older adults are involved in their community.   Kisco Senior Living communities including
Drake Terrace in San Rafael will host fun and exciting events that are open to
the public during this week of national observance as part of their overall
wellness programs and to celebrate seniors’ full participation in diverse areas
of life.

Kisco Senior Living and its 20 communities in six
states participate in the festivities every year along with their residents and
the greater community. The company also partners with the International
Council on Active Aging’s (ICAA) Changing the Way We Age® Campaign, an
initiative that aims to shift the way society perceives aging. 

The focus at Drake Terrace during Active
Aging Week will be to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association with the help
of the resident volunteer fundraising committee.  The events will begin on Sunday, September 22,
