PRIME LIVING

A New Chapter

In today’s youth-obsessed culture, referring to midlife as the “golden years” seems counterintuitive. But think about it: career and family responsibilities have made way for an exciting time where you actually have time to pursue interests you’ve put off for years, such as living a more active lifestyle, volunteering and making new friends.

The time is now for Dallas-area seniors to begin this new chapter of life, and these independent and assisted living communities have the resources to make it happen.

Situated on 20 acres of land near the shores of White Rock Lake stands C.C. Young, a continuing care retirement community where as Russell Crews, C.C. Young president and CEO, says, “People don’t come to retire: They come to live.”

And that they do — the faith-based, not-for-profit community boasts eight buildings and offers services from independent and assisted living to memory care, home health and hospice for those age 55 and better. Since 1922, C.C. Young has been dedicated to helping seniors enjoy an active, fulfilling lifestyle by providing personalized care and support.

“Beyond providing living and health services, C.C. Young offers a variety of programming intended to educate and enrich the lives of those it serves, both on campus and in the community,” says Jennifer Griffin, director of communications and public relations with C.C. Young.

“One way to see if C.C. Young is a good fit is to participate in activities at The Point, Center for Arts and Education, which offers memberships for residents and non-residents,” Griffin says.

Memberships include discounts for educational programs and computer classes, and free monthly art gallery shows.

A recent lecture, free and open to the public, was titled, “Art and Alzheimer’s: A Personal Journey.” It featured Cognitive Dynamics foundation founder/president, Dr. Daniel Potts; Meredith Pond, a master trainer with the Alzheimer’s Association’s memories in the making program; and Molly Middleton
