Look on the bright side: it could save your life! A long-term Boston study found optimists live up to 15% longer than pessimists. The reason? Stress hormones released by persistent negative feelings about that very stress cause an increase in heart disease, gastrointestinal problems, and liver disease. The solution? Improving your mental state with a little yoga or meditation, or even a little laughter can go a long way. So, see a comedy show, it’s for your health! ow.ly/g5cm50xdTpV ... See moreSee less

Optimists live longer. Here's why.

When you think of places where people line up wanting a job, you might think of Facebook, Google, or, according to Steve Moran of Senior Living Foresight, Covenant Living Communities and Services. That is indeed the case, thanks to Covenant Living of the Great Lakes Dining Room Manager Tonio Wynn, who no longer needs to devote resources to recruitment “because I made this a great place to work.” By empowering young workers with real responsibility and leadership positions of their own, he ensures an operation that runs exactly the same, whether he’s actually there or not. And by identifying workers’ individual strengths in lengthy one-on-ones, Tonio is able to direct talent where it’s needed most and assign tasks to those who get the most out of them.

We’re grateful to have someone like Tonio actively making Covenant Living a place that people want to work. You can watch Tonio’s full interview, which is laden with pearls of his unique brand of leadership wisdom, here: ow.ly/I9Jz50xcoHO ... See moreSee less

Tonio is a superb example of a “leader” or leads by example. His team members truly enjoy working with him and it shows! He is a true “leader” as well as “team member” in the very best sense!

Tonio has formed a great team of very wonderful young men and women. As a resident, I appreciate the him and his team.

Working with Tonio brings Joy & Inspiration Everyday!

As a resident here, I want to give a "shout out" to Tonio for ALL he does for us!

Amen and thank you Tonio for you love and devotion.

November is National Diabetes Month, and the focus for 2019 is the link between diabetes and cardiovascular disease. What’s the connection? As it turns out, adults with diabetes are nearly twice as likely to die from heart disease or stroke as people without diabetes. That’s why people with diabetes need to be extra careful not to smoke, to manage their cholesterol levels, and to maintain healthy lifestyle habits. ow.ly/x8GL50x7Obc ... See moreSee less

Learn about the link between diabetes, heart disease and stroke; risk factors; symptoms; diagnosis; and warning signs—and how to prevent or slow heart disease.

This week in National Family Caregivers Month, we’ll be looking at the ways family caregivers can #BeCareCurious about their loved one’s goals. By better understanding what your loved one hopes to accomplish throughout their care journey, a caregiver can take those first steps towards delivering the kind of care they truly require. It may be the case that your loved one requires a level of care that is too complex or demands more time than can be realistically expected of a family caregiver. By communicating openly with your loved one, you can more easily determine if their expectations and goals are more capably handled by the 24-hour care provided by Assisted Living or Skilled Nursing. ow.ly/RM6850x2OtA ...
