Virtual Flower Pot Planting Program for Seniors Across LI

The Bristal Assisted Living communities and the Long Island Alzheimer's & Dementia Center in New York will host a virtual pot planting program through Zoom on July 1 and July 8 that all Long Island seniors and their caregivers can participate in, reports Patch . The free, hour-long program will be overseen by Casey Drum, director of recreation at The Bristal at North Hills. "With over 20 years of experience caring for seniors, The Bristal understands the unique burdens caregivers face," said The Bristal Director of Business Development Julie Wexler. "These programs offer a chance for caregivers to connect with others, while offering their loved ones an engaging activity." All required supplies will be delivered or mailed to participants' homes a few days before the first session, and the Zoom class will be recorded so participants can engage on their own schedule. The program is limited to the first 100 people who register.
