APRIL 2023
The bonds of sisterhood are strong at Parsons Presbyterian Manor Sisters Laura Groff and Maxine Stacy grew up in Cherryvale, Kansas and despite their six-year age difference, they’ve remained very close over the years. In fact, they’re now neighbors at Parsons Presbyterian Manor, thanks to Laura moving in last October. “We see one another every day for lunch,” said Maxine, who lives in Independent Living.
National Exercise Day is April 18th and our Aegis Therapies team has some tips National Exercise Day is April 18th, but here at Parsons Presbyterian Manor our residents are always looking for ways to stay active. If you’d like to put some more pep in your step, here are some tips from our friends at Aegis: 1. Consistency • Scheduled exercise at the same time of day creates habit and rhythm. 2. Progress • Tracking your progress can compare where you started to areas of improvement and can also reveal areas to focus on. 3. Friends • Find a friend or group of friends to exercise together, keeping each other honest to stick to the program! u
“We also enjoy doing puzzles together and Sisters Laura Groff and Maxine Stacy we LOVE shopping,” said Laura, who lives in Assisted Living. The pair lost a brother, and both are widowed. That makes their current bond stronger than ever, they say. “I feel very blessed that she’s here with me,” Maxine said. Laura also enjoys her grandchildren and great-grandchildren whenever she gets to see them. Both ladies are avid readers and say they’re loving life together at Parsons Presbyterian Manor. u
