* APY (Annual Percentage Yield) is for consumer promotional rate CD/IRA. Rate effective 1/6/14. The APY assumes interest remains on deposit until maturity. A withdrawal will reduce earnings. Minimum deposit of $500 required to open CD/IRA. To receive the promotional APY, you must have a consumer checking account (excluding money market checking) with a monthly recurring direct deposit. You need to set up a recurring direct deposit to a checking account within 45 calendar days of opening CD/IRA. If you do not meet these requirements, your account will earn the non-promotional APY in effect at the time of opening. At maturity, the CD/IRA will revert to a 60-month CD/IRA with the non-promotional APY at that time. Early withdrawal penalties may apply. Fees may reduce earnings. Offer may be withdrawn at any time. Not to be combined with any additional promotional offer. Maximum $500,000 per account holder. For more information, please call 888-744-4272(4CSB).

Learn.Lead.Succeed. “Nichols College really brightened my future.” Sarah A. Day MBA ’07 Commercial Lending Officer
Since earning her MBA from Nichols in 2007, Sarah Day says her career in banking has taken off. Because of the knowledge she gained, she has worked closely with senior management on business planning strategies — responsibilities well beyond her normal duties. Impressed by the level of realworld experience her professors brought to class, Sarah says she highly recommends the program to busy working professionals who want exceptional quality and convenience.

Seniors on the
Move
TAKING THE NECESSARY STEPS There is no question that taking daily walks is beneÀcial to health even if you do not reach the highly recommended goal of taking 10,000 steps per day. As they say, it helps to take “one step at a time,” particularly if you are overweight or out of shape. One way to help jump start this healthy exercise is to purchase an inexpensive pedometer, which counts the number of steps you take. Not only can this handy little device help you quantify how many steps you take each day, it can also be used to set, meet, and surpass goals. Pedometers can help motivate you to be more physically active. Keeping a chart of your walking progress may also help. At NOTRE DAME LONG TERM CARE CENTER, we understand the importance of remaining active. We provide our senior residents with a wide variety of activity and exercise options. To learn more about our offerings, reach us today at (508) 852-3011. You are invited to tour our conveniently located senior community at 559 Plantation Street. We will exceed your expectations! P.S. If you are taking up walking as a form of exercise, invest in good-quality shoes that support your feet, (think of it as a form of health insurance).

Senior nutrition: Feeding the body, mind and soul You’ve heard it all before: Loved ones constantly reminding, stressing and even insisting that you should be eating healthier. And, until moving into a Capital Senior Living community, you might have chosen to selectively tune out those messages and instead go for the foods you most craved at the moment. Residents at our communities have plenty of food options available at every meal -- including tasty desserts and treats baked onsite daily. But, our talented culinary team believes in that old motto of “you are what you eat.” Proper diets reduce the risks of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer and more, meaning residents could have a longer, happier life in our Capital Senior Living family. That’s why, when preparing breakfasts, lunches and dinners, staff members choose only the best selections of meat and freshest produce to ensure well-balanced meals that are not only big on taste but also -- yes, you guessed it -- nutritious.
According to HelpGuide.org and the National Institute of Aging, older adults can feel better immediately and stay healthy well into the future by fostering a nutritious lifestyle and taking in the right amount of calories per day by watching serving sizes. The more active a senior is, the more calories per day are needed. The institute suggests 1,600 to 2,000 calories per day for women and 2,000 to 2,800 for men. Those calories come from five main categories that, when balanced correctly, can provide a higher quality of life and enhanced independence, according to HealthGuide.org. The pyramid includes fruits, vegetables, calcium, grains and protein. Our Capital Senior Living communities offer all of these “ingredients.” Don’t forget that wholesome meals will give you more energy and, according to the National Institute of Aging, help you look better. So, eating healthy will not only make you feel happier inside and out, it also will appease your loved ones. Happy eating!
