Seniors on the

Move

TESTING LIMITS Have you ever given much thought to how old you would like to live to be? Can you envision how you would look and function at age 90? 100? 120?

In the eyes of most Americans, 90 seems to be a ripe old age while 120 may be taking things too far. In fact, when the Pew Research Center recently asked Americans about their views on age and life-extending treatments, more than half (56 percent) of those surveyed said that they would not want a treatment that enabled them to live to 120. Instead, most people consider the ideal lifespan to be somewhere between 79 and 100 years.

The median age was 90.

At NOTRE DAME LONG TERM CARE CENTER, our goal is to keep our seniors as healthy, active and happy as they can be for as long as possible.

Our seniors are our number one priority! To learn more, contact us today at (508) 852-3011. We are conveniently located at 559 Plantation Street. Have a wonderful Holiday Season!

P.S. Americans born today can expect to live, on average, to nearly 79.

s innovators, Wegmans ans Food Markets is on the forefront of the cheese market.

In January 2014, we will be opening a state of the art facility with temperature controlled rooms that are designed to mimic European ripening cave conditions. It is here where all imported soft ripened and washed rind cheeses will be received. These products will then be sent to the shops at your local Wegmans. From there the Cheese Shop team will wash and age the cheeses in the store, for your eating pleasure. Wegmans Chestnut Hill will be opening with an open air ripening case, which is exclusive to Wegmans. This will feature –in store- perfectly ripened cheeses, which will come directly from the Central Affinage Facility, in Rochester NY. This case will be coming to the Northborough location

Walking through the doors of Wegmans, your eyes can feast on a plethora of goodies.

As you walk through you can visit the Old World Cheese Department. Whilst in this department, you can experience a multitude of artisan products that are brought in from around the world. It is here that you will find the knowledge people behind the counter, who are willing to give you a taste of the newest products that are offered in this unique area. So please stop in and visit us!

Happy Holidays from your friends in the Wegmans Cheese Department!
