Farmington Presbyterian Manor announces Art is Ageless® winners Farmington Presbyterian Manor is excited to announce the winners of its recent Art is Ageless® juried competition and exhibit. “We’re honored that local seniors allowed us to exhibit and judge their wonderful works,” said Keely Jameson, senior living sales director. “Art is Ageless is unique because it only features the works of artists who are 65 and over.” Our artists prove it’s never too late to create art, in any form. Local competition winners will join winners from 14 other PMMA (Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America®) senior living communities to be judged at the masterpiece level. Winning entries at the masterpiece level are selected for publication in PMMA’s annual Art is Ageless calendar and note cards.

Started in 1980, Art is Ageless is an extension of PMMA’s wellness programs, which focus on mental, physical, social, and spiritual health. The program encourages Farmington Presbyterian Manor residents and other area seniors to express their creativity through its annual competition.

Tips for staying safe during summer heat Summer is here and so is the heat. Not only do rising temperatures make life uncomfortable, they can also be life threatening. To help keep you and your loved ones safe this season, the Center for Disease Control reminds you to stay cool, stay hydrated and stay informed. Stay cool • Wear loose-fitting lightweight clothing • Stay within an air-conditioned environment as much as possible • Limit outdoor activities to when it is the coolest • Cut down on strenuous outdoor exercise • Wear sunscreen—sunburns affect your body’s ability to cool down and can make you dehydrated • Avoid hot and heavy meals Stay hydrated • Drink plenty of fluids—don’t wait until you’re thirsty (if your doctor limits how much you drink, be sure to check first) • Stay away from sugary or alcoholic beverages • Replace salt and lost minerals with sport drinks (if you are a low-salt diet, check with your doctor before taking any supplements) • Provide plenty of water for your pets Stay informed • Check your local news or weather app for extreme heat alerts • Learn the signs and symptoms of heat-related illness • Keep an eye on those at risk—infants, those dealing with a chronic illness and overweight individuals u
