You’re probably not thinking about heart health when you floss your teeth and get into bed every night, but both regular flossing and getting a good night’s sleep are among the things you already do that help keep your heart healthy. The Cleveland Clinic includes both daily flossing and getting more than six hours of sleep a night in an article titled, “5 Things To Do Daily To Keep Your Heart Healthy.”
February is American Heart Month. Heart disease risk factors include having high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and/or diabetes – conditions you can identify by visiting your healthcare provider, who may prescribe medications to help control them. But making small changes to things you already do can make a positive impact on heart health. Healthcare providers recommend eating more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean meat and to exercise within safe limits. One way to make what we should do more fun is by trying foods you’ve never tried before or participating in an activity you’ve always wanted to try.
Throughout the year, residents at Village at Proprietors Green have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities including wellness and fitness programs, ballroom dancing, walking on the community walking path in nice weather, and Wii bowling, to name a few.
Chances are, you’re already engaging in some good habits to reduce your heart disease risk. Keep in mind that every little effort you make to step up those healthy habits will do your heart even better. Also, remember to consult your personal healthcare provider about your individual nutritional and exercise needs.
The collegial and cozy first-ever Paint & Sip Professional Networking Event at Village at Proprietors Green brought out everyone’s inner artist. Referral partners from around the South Shore had an opportunity to engage with their colleagues as they hand-painted two wine glasses. Art teacher Jeanne Runewicz provided instruction. Anyone who had not previously toured the community was encouraged to do so.
There is a growing body of evidence that social isolation and loneliness take more of a toll on individuals who lack social connections than most people realize. Researchers presented the most recent findings on this subject at the 125th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association, and concluded that loneliness and social isolation are serious public health issues that must be addressed.
At Village at Proprietors Green, we understand the importance of social engagement and offer older adults a wide variety of ways to stay socially active. The community features art and exercise classes, exciting lectures and themed parties, author talks and book signings, musical entertainment and frequent inter-generational events and programming, to name a few of the many opportunities for social engagement.

Residents and staff gladly join forces each year to raise money for the Marshfield Food Pantry through sales of locally made items at the Holiday Boutique, held at the senior retirement living community. This year the community is proud to donate $2,500 to Jim Hewitt and the food pantry.
There was lots of spirit at the annual Holiday Boutique held at Village at Proprietors Green. Festive trees, inventive reindeer treats, handmade wreaths and other holiday decorations filled the community. Early shoppers were rewarded for their efforts as they purchased handmade items for friends and loved ones. All proceeds from the holiday sales will benefit the Marshfield Food Pantry.
During the annual Welch Senior Living Awards Dinner celebrating long-term staff, Principal Paul T. Casale, made special mention of the culture of caring the company fosters, saying it all boils down to “Doing the right thing.” He congratulated and thanked employees for their dedication, high standards, and length of service during the holiday-themed event, held this year at The Villa at Ridder Country Club. The awards dinner is an opportunity to recognize the nurses, social workers, certified nursing assistants, activities professionals, housekeepers, maintenance staff, and many others whose roles are critical to the happiness, health, and well-being of residents.
Caitlin Sullivan, business office director, is among the most tenured staff members at Village at Proprietors Green. She was honored for 20 years of service with Welch Senior Living. Another of the evening highlights is the selection of the Employee of the Year. Chosen from a pool of employees who have received Employee of the Quarter honors, the award this year went to Amanda Korona, resident assistant at Village at Proprietors Green.
Residents and staff joined forces at Village at Proprietors Green for a Halloween filled with friendly ghosts and goblins. Besides sweet treats the only thing on the menu was a hefty dose of fun!
