Prioritizing the Newest Guidelines for Seniors and COVID-19

The health and well-being of our residents are paramount at Pegasus Senior Living. It’s a commitment that we take to heart daily. It’s especially at the forefront of our minds with flu season beginning and the threat of new COVID-19 variants.

According to a recent article, the Biden administration plans to urge all Americans to get a COVID-19 booster shot this autumn to counter a new wave of infections. Our communities will be following the vaccination guidelines for senior citizens and COVID-19.

Our senior living communities take a proactive approach to health and wellness. We want to echo this message and encourage residents and their families to stay vigilant and protect their health. We are committed to health care for seniors.

Understanding New COVID-19 Variants: What They Mean for Older Adults

Recent reports from global health organizations have highlighted the emergence of new COVID-19 variants.

One such variant is BA.2.86, a highly mutated lineage of the virus that distinguishes itself from the currently dominant XBB.1.5 variant with 36 unique alterations.

Despite these mutations, there is currently no evidence to suggest that BA.2.86 spreads faster or causes more severe illness than previous versions of the virus.

However, it’s important to remember that information about this new variant is still coming to light, and we must stay informed and vigilant.

The BA.2.86 variant has been detected in six cases across four countries since late July, including in:

  • United States
  • United Kingdom
  • Israel
  • Denmark

While it differs structurally from earlier variants targeted by current vaccines, scientists are working tirelessly to analyze its potential impact on public health.

With the emergence of BA.2.86, the world has seen a rise in infections and hospitalizations due to the EG.5 “Eris” subvariant.

This variant has been responsible for more cases in recent months. Still, it’s reassuring to note that the COVID-19 vaccine continues to defend against illness and death, including against the Eris variant.

This underscores the importance of getting vaccinated and staying up-to-date with recommended booster shots. Updated boosters are currently being developed to target the Omicron subvariant XBB.1.512.

Preliminary trial data suggests promising results from the latest version of the Moderna vaccine against Eris and a related variant called Fornax. Pfizer’s updated COVID-19 shot has also shown neutralizing activity against the Eris subvariant in a study conducted on mice.

Understanding these evolving dynamics of COVID-19 can feel overwhelming for older adults and their families. Our Pegasus Senior Living Health and Wellness team, led by Dr. Sandra Petersen, is committed to staying ahead of these developments and implementing necessary measures to protect our residents.

We encourage everyone to:

  • Follow health guidelines
  • Keep up with vaccinations and boosters as recommended
  • Remain vigilant

Together, we can navigate this complex landscape and continue fostering healthy, vibrant lives in our senior living communities.

Staying Vigilant to Senior COVID-19 Guidelines

COVID-19 has underscored the importance of staying vigilant when it comes to our health. As we navigate a season that now includes three bugs, it’s crucial to remain informed of the latest health advisories and recommendations.

The proposed COVID-19 boosters are designed to enhance the effectiveness of the initial vaccine doses, providing additional protection against emerging virus variants.

Like the annual flu shot, this booster is another tool in our arsenal to protect ourselves and our loved ones.

How Pegasus Communities Can Help

In Pegasus Senior Living communities, we are committed to supporting our residents in maintaining their health. We consistently monitor updates from health authorities and adapt our protocols accordingly to ensure the health and well-being of all community members.

We understand that getting to vaccination appointments can challenge some residents. That’s why we’re here to help coordinate transportation and assist with scheduling these essential appointments.

Many of our communities have participated in on-site vaccination programs since 2020.

Our team members work tirelessly to create a nurturing environment that prioritizes the health of residents. From nutritious meal planning to organizing engaging mental and physical activities, we aim to support the overall wellness of our community members.

A Shared Responsibility

Protecting the health of residents is a shared responsibility. It involves our dedicated team members, the residents, and their families. By staying informed, following recommended guidelines, and getting the necessary vaccinations, we can all contribute to a healthier community.

Pegasus remains steadfast in our commitment to the well-being of residents. We will continue prioritizing their health, providing the most current information, and offering the support needed to navigate flu season.

Let’s stay vigilant, protect ourselves, and continue to live vibrant lives at Pegasus Senior Living!

Hello, I’m Chris Hollister, co-founder and CEO of Pegasus Senior Living. I want to share what motivates our associates at Pegasus and why we strive to offer the best senior care possible.

If you’re reading this, you’re likely on a journey to find the right level of care for yourself or a loved one. We understand that this journey can often be emotional and complex whether you’re considering:

  • Social independent living
  • Engaging assisted living
  • Comforting memory care

Choosing the right living communities for older adults is a decision that involves the whole family. It’s about ensuring they receive the best care services that cater to their unique needs and enhance their quality of life.

Pegasus Senior Living | Senior resident and staff member hugging
Our associates care deeply about all of our residents

At Pegasus Senior Living, we’re more than just a long-term care provider. We are your partners in your family’s care plan.

Working in senior living is more than just a job for our team members. It is a calling.

Taking care of our seniors is a privilege that demands commitment, compassion, and a high level of personal care. Our team members are highly motivated individuals who share this belief and put it into practice every single day.

Many seniors transfer from home care services to long-term assisted living and memory care. Our dedicated associates strive to make the transition smooth and provide the highest level of care. They work tirelessly to ensure that each resident feels at home in our communities and receives the individualized attention they deserve.

Here at Pegasus, we believe everyone deserves to enjoy their golden years with dignity and joy. This belief drives our mission to celebrate and enhance all lives with kindness and integrity.

So, whether you’re looking for independent living options for yourself or a care solution for a loved one, know that our team is ready to welcome you with open arms and devoted hearts.

Join us as we continue our mission to provide the best senior care possible. Together, we can make a positive difference in the lives of our older adults and their family members.

Celebrating and Enhancing Lives

At Pegasus Senior Living, our mission is simple: to celebrate and enhance all lives with kindness and integrity.

We believe in positively impacting the lives of every individual we care for. This ethos drives our team to deliver person-centered senior care. Dedicated associates find immense satisfaction in seeing how their work enriches the lives of our seniors.

Making a Difference in the World

We see our work as an opportunity to make a difference in the world. Our associates are passionate about creating meaningful change through their work. Our why is to facilitate people getting better and living to their fullest.

They are driven by a sense of purpose and the ability to contribute positively to the community. This shared vision makes Pegasus communities more than just a senior care home; it’s a place where every day brings new opportunities to touch lives.

Our team also strives to create welcoming and attractive environments for our seniors. They understand that residents deserve individualized senior care and a comfortable and inviting home.

These qualities earned us Best of Senior Living awards from A Place for Mom and U.S. News and World Report.

Providing Quality Care

I’ve been in this industry for over 35 years. Since the beginning, our communities have been pioneers in the senior living industry.

We were among the first operators to integrate memory care with assisted living. The average age of people needing assisted living is about 85. Providing care for what may come next is essential.

We recognize the increasing need for specialized care that doesn’t uproot residents from their homes over and over.

Our focus has always been on providing top-notch, clinically-driven services. Our associates take pride in offering the highest quality care, making us leaders in senior care homes.

Senior health and nutrition are essential for maintaining a happy and healthy lifestyle as people age. Nobody understands this better than the award-winning culinary team at Greenhaven Place.

Our senior assisted living community in Sacramento loves eating fresh and seasonal meals.

Our bodies have different needs as we age, and a balanced diet becomes even more important. A trip to the local farmers market can be an excellent way for seniors to improve their health and nutrition and get out and about.

The Greenhaven Pocket Farmer’s Market opened in 2022. It is a welcomed addition to the area of South Sacramento. Our independent living and assisted living residents love having this new feature for a weekend activity. It’s one of our favorite planned excursions across the city.

Why is nutrition different for older adults?

Nutrition is all about taking care of our bodies as we get older. Nutrient needs can be a bit different compared to the carefree eating people do when they are younger.

One of the reasons for changing diets is a slower metabolism. Over time our bodies don’t burn calories as quickly. It’s believed that metabolic rates begin to decline around age 60.

Seniors need to choose foods that provide the necessary nutrients without too many extra calories.

Older adults (not all) are generally less active than younger people. They need fewer calories to maintain their weight. Eating smaller portions and choosing nutrient-dense foods is essential.

Certain nutrients may become harder for the body to absorb with age. Seniors might need more vitamin D, vitamin B12, and calcium. It’s essential to talk to a healthcare provider about possible supplements.

Seniors need more protein to maintain muscle mass and support bone health. Some foods that can help include:

  • Lean meats
  • Fish
  • Dairy
  • Beans

Some retirees may experience digestive issues or have trouble absorbing certain nutrients. Foods high in fiber can help with digestion. Consider meals featuring whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.

Older adults may be more prone to dehydration. Drinking plenty of water and other fluids throughout the day is crucial. You’ll notice many assisted living facilities in Sacramento feature pellet ice. This superior form of cooling beverages is also a great way to encourage hydration due to its soft texture.

Additionally, some older adults may face challenges with eating, such as dental issues or difficulty chewing. Choosing soft and easy-to-eat foods can be helpful.

As people age, the risk of heart disease can increase. Seniors should aim for a heart-healthy diet by limiting:

  • Saturated fats
  • Trans fats
  • Sodium

Chronic health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure will also dictate diet. Nutrition can play a crucial role in managing these conditions.

Nutrition can be influenced by social and emotional factors, such as eating alone or feeling lonely. Encouraging social mealtimes can positively impact a senior’s eating habits.

Every person is different, and it’s essential for seniors to work with healthcare providers or dietitians to create a personalized nutrition plan that meets their specific needs. By focusing on a balanced and nutritious diet, seniors can enhance their overall health and well-being as they age.

Visit Your Local Farmers Market for Fresh Eating Habits

Farmers markets offer a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Seniors should focus on colorful fruits and veggies, like:

  • Oranges
  • Berries
  • Spinach
  • Carrots

These are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help boost the immune system and promote overall well-being. Seasonal fruits and vegetables are often at their peak in terms of taste and nutrition.

Shopping at farmers markets supports local agriculture and ensures seniors get food that’s grown nearby. Buying in-season also tends to be more budget-friendly.

Local producers often feature different food than what’s at the supermarket. Try something new, like heirloom tomatoes or other types of squash. Experimenting with fresh foods can make meals more enjoyable and nutritious.

Staying hydrated is crucial for seniors’ health. Markets often sell homemade juices, herbal teas, and infused waters alongside fresh produce. These can be a refreshing and healthy addition to any diet.

Every senior should have some sort of activities program. Planned excursions city-wide help keep seniors social. Going to street markets can be a great source of mingling. Take friends, family, or neighbors to make the experience more enjoyable and help combat feelings of isolation.

Relish in Not Cooking or Cleaning

One of the most significant advantages of being part of our senior living community is the liberation from the kitchen and chores.

The Joys of Community Dining: More than Just a Meal

At Greenhaven Place, we cherish the spirit of community and connection. Our communal dining spaces encourage social interaction and camaraderie, where residents can share stories, laughter, and delicious food.

Mealtime becomes a cherished opportunity to forge meaningful friendships and engage in lively conversations, making every dining experience enjoyable.

The Importance of Friends for Older Adults

Research has shown time and again that friendships are vital to healthy aging. They provide emotional support, social stimulation, and a sense of belonging.

These connections become even more crucial as we age:

  • They keep us active
  • They make us feel heard and supported
  • They offer companionship

Friendships can also positively impact our health. Just as loneliness can hurt our health, socialization can improve it in far-reaching and sometimes surprising ways. Social activities, including dining with friends, significantly reduce stress and promote better overall health.

The Benefits of Community Dining

Community dining in a senior living campus offers the perfect setting for fostering these friendships. Sharing a meal can be one of the most important ways to help seniors maintain their independence.

Studies show that we naturally eat more around others and make better food choices. When dining with peers, seniors tend to make healthier choices. This interaction during meals promotes physical well-being and contributes to emotional health by providing a sense of community and belonging.

Our dining room is a hub for socialization. It’s a space where friendships are nurtured and bonds are strengthened over shared meals. Residents savor the joy of good company.

A Park-Like Outdoor Setting

Picture yourself strolling through our scenic campus. Imagine living in a sanctuary of tranquility and natural beauty. Our thoughtfully landscaped grounds provide an inviting backdrop for enjoyable walks to the dining areas, where residents can relish their meals with friends or family.

A standout community among many assisted living homes in California, Greenhaven Place is committed to providing a vibrant and enriching environment for seniors to thrive in their golden years. Among the many innovative programs our senior living community offers is our art therapy program, which promotes creativity, self-expression, and well-being among residents. This unique initiative not only enables seniors to explore their artistic talents, but it also cultivates a deep connection with nature, as well as a sense of joy, tranquility, and purpose in their lives.

Unleashing Creativity through Florals

Henri Matisse once said, “There are always flowers for those who want to see them.” In our data-based approach to aging, we’re helping seniors see the best in life.

Henri Matisse once said, “There are always flowers for those who want to see them.”

The art program at Greenhaven Place is thoughtfully designed to celebrate the beauty and symbolism of flowers, inviting older adults searching for assisted living homes in California to tap into their creative potential. Guided by professional artists and experienced instructors, seniors are provided with a wide range of media, including painting, sketching, collage, and even three-dimensional crafts. Through these methods, residents can bring their imaginations to life, creating stunning works of art inspired by the delicate petals, vibrant colors, and diverse forms of flowers.

Some of our recent projects have included:

The Healing Power of Nature

Studies have shown that engaging with nature and artistic activities can have significant positive effects on seniors’ mental and emotional well-being. The floral theme of our arts and crafts for seniors in assisted living aligns perfectly with these findings, as flowers have long been regarded as symbols of beauty, hope, and renewal. The program allows seniors to immerse themselves in the calming and therapeutic nature of the artistic process, encouraging self-reflection, reducing stress, and enhancing overall happiness.

Community Engagement and Collaboration

We also emphasize the importance of social connections and a sense of community among residents. Regular group art classes provide opportunities for seniors to interact, collaborate, and learn from one another. Through shared experiences and the joy of creating together, lasting friendships are forged, fostering a sense of belonging and a supportive environment where seniors can flourish.

Celebrating Accomplishments

Arts and crafts for seniors in assisted living at Greenhaven Place extends beyond the creative process. Regular exhibitions and showcases are organized to exhibit residents’ artwork, allowing them to proudly share their accomplishments with their peers, families, and the wider community. The recognition and appreciation they receive for their artistic endeavors further boosts residents’ self-esteem, encouraging them to continue exploring their talents and passions.

Integration of Art into Daily Life

Beyond formal art sessions, Greenhaven Place actively integrates nature and art into residents’ daily lives. Common areas that set us apart from other California assisted living communities are adorned with floral-themed paintings and sculptures, creating an atmosphere that is both visually stimulating and emotionally uplifting.

Greenhaven Place’s arts and crafts for seniors in assisted living offer remarkable opportunities for residents to embrace their creativity, engage with nature, build meaningful connections, and celebrate their artistic accomplishments. By providing a nurturing and inclusive environment, it enables seniors to experience the therapeutic benefits of art while fostering a deep appreciation for the beauty and symbolism of flowers. Greenhaven Place continues to inspire and empower seniors, ensuring their lives are filled with joy, purpose, and the blossoming spirit of artistic expression.

Full Occupancy Senior Housing in Sacramento

Our community is proud to have achieved 100 percent occupancy, with a waitlist, thanks to the outstanding leadership of our Executive Director, Robert Coe.

Coe’s commitment to providing exceptional care to our residents has earned Greenhaven Place five awards in his short time as our leader. These achievements cement our reputation as a premier senior living community in Sacramento, CA.

What sets our Sacramento senior living community apart:

Senior Living Foresight tells Pegasus Senior Living CEO Chris Hollister most senior housing communities are stuck around a 77 percent occupancy rate. Having a waiting list for independent living, assisted living, or memory care in Sacramento is an incredible accomplishment.

How to Achieve 100 Percent Occupancy in Senior Housing

Robert Coe is an accomplished and results-driven Executive Director passionate about serving seniors. With 19 years of experience in the Senior Living Industry, Coe has established himself as a leader who focuses on building success through cultural change and empowerment.

Coe’s dynamic experience in senior living nutrition has allowed him to create exceptional dining experiences for residents while keeping food costs low. He is also skilled in leading, directing, training, and mentoring departmental employees to deliver superior services and achieve company goals.

Growing a community to 100 percent occupancy is about a cohesive team passionate about helping seniors and their families navigate this next chapter in their lives. Building extraordinary services and keeping communication clear is a top priority.

Senior living is about promoting independence and autonomy for older adults. Senior living management companies can benefit from utilizing the same philosophies in their communities.

“Pegasus has been the first company in 19 years that has allowed me to build a culture that is employee and resident-focused culture,” Coe tells Senior Living Foresight. “We work hard and play hard. We have won 5 awards so far this year, and we are pushing for more.”

Working at Pegasus Senior Living has been a game-changer for Coe, as it is the first company that has let him lead with freedom, resulting in the exceptional success seen at Greenhaven Place. Coe is a passionate team player and gifted trainer with an unorthodox approach to increasing occupancy that works.

With his exceptional leadership skills and dedication to serving seniors, Robert Coe is a valuable member of the Pegasus Senior Living family.

A Message from Pegasus Senior Living

Robert Coe, the Executive Director of Greenhaven Place, has made significant strides in transforming the community since joining in September 2022.

Thanks to his exceptional leadership, Greenhaven Place has achieved full occupancy and boasts a waitlist in a highly competitive Sacramento senior living community market. This achievement is a testament to Coe’s commitment to providing exceptional care and services to the residents.

Coe’s impact goes beyond occupancy rates. He has built a team dedicated to delivering exceptional care to residents. His focus on creating a culture that is both resident and employee-focused has earned Greenhaven Place five awards, cementing its reputation as a premier independent and assisted living community.

Coe’s leadership style has been characterized by his ability to inspire and motivate his team to go above and beyond to provide residents with personalized care. He has also been instrumental in improving the quality of life for residents through the introduction of innovative programs and initiatives that promote socialization, wellness, and community engagement.

At Pegasus Senior Living, we are incredibly proud to have Coe as a member of our family. We are confident in his continued leadership and success within the community and are excited to see what he accomplishes next.
