NOVI, MI – Fox Run is celebrating “Amazing Aging” this week. A series of events that kicked off yesterday and will run through Friday are designed to promote the essence of a healthy mind to successful aging through a variety of creative activities. The week is being offered by the Fox Run “Champions,” a group of staff as well as residents who meet regularly to plan events, activities, and programs that support the “person to person” philosophy that is critical to the mission at Fox Run.

“At Fox Run, we believe that an active brain is essential to total wellness,” says Director of Resident Life Barb Jablonski. “Therefore, we are always providing opportunities for our residents to continue learning and engaging in mind stimulating activities.”

Yesterday, Dr. Peter Lichtenberg, department head of gerontology at Wayne State University, spoke to residents regarding the importance of brain health.

Tomorrow, Jean Barnas from the Alzheimer’s Association will talk to residents about the “Maintain Your Brain” program, and another representative from the Alzheimer Association, Kelly Fulkerson, will speak on Thursday about the positive effects of nutrition on brain health.
