National Assisted Living Week® is an annual celebration sponsored by the National Center for Assisted Living to provide unique opportunities for residents, families, staff, volunteers, and the surrounding community to come together to share with residents a variety of events and activities showcasing the type of care offered. 
“The Art for the Ages theme was chosen because it is about celebrating creativity, appreciating all forms of art, and recognizing how art enhances everyone’s lives,” Hendricks said.  “A top priority for us At Hometown Senior Living is employing Resident Assistants who have a passion for serving our seniors with respect, professionalism and the kind of care everyone deserves.  I like to think we transform companionate care into an Art for the Ages, and that requires individuals who have a natural talent for the art of caring.”
