​Melody Living Lake in the Hills senior community is thrilled to announce our Halloween Trick or Treat drive thru fun event is back!  All you have to do is get your little ghosts and goblins all dressed up.  Grab their plastic pumpkins.  And load them in the car.  Then head our way to 525 Harvest Gate Road, Lake in the Hills Illinois. 

The Halloween spirit will be all around you as you drive thru.  Our staff and residents will be all dressed up to greet trick or treaters.  

The Halloween Trick or Treat drive thru is set to take place Friday, October 29, 2021 from 3:30-5:30 p.m.  The community is encouraged to attend. 

The kids will leave with loads of sweet treats.  After providing tons of joy to our senior residents. 

Melody Living Lake in the Hills community creates aromatherapy experiences for our senior living residents.  Lavender, peppermint, and lemon are some of the most popular aromas for stimulating emotional wellness.  Lavender provides a light, floral scent that promotes calmness and reduces stress.  Peppermint creates a rejuvenating sensation that awakens the senses with a fresh and uplifting aroma that is great for easing headaches, nausea, and is also great for increasing energy.  Lemon is excellent for creating a fresh smell that is great for fighting exhaustion and reducing depression.  The benefits of aromatherapy for seniors are bountiful.
 
Aromatherapy arouses your smell receptors and then sends messages through the nervous system to the part of the brain that controls your emotions.  Studies show aromatherapy boosts your mood, improves your sleep, and relieves pain.  
 

​National Assisted Living Week celebrations are in full swing at Melody Living’s assisted living and memory care community in Lake in the Hills. The celebration provides a unique opportunity for residents, their loved ones, staff, volunteers, and the surrounding communities to recognize the role of assisted living in caring for America’s seniors.

This year’s theme is “Compassion, Community, Caring.” Melody Living staff kicked off the week by displaying hearts to write messages and display throughout the community. Residents also enjoyed sweet chocolate treats to celebrate National Assisted Living Week.
​
Several other events are planned throughout the week at Melody Living to include: Wear Your Favorite Sports Team Day, Wear a Hat Day, Ice Cream Day, and Superhero Day. The celebrations will conclude Saturday evening with s’mores on the patio. 

​Touchdown! NFL Football has kicked off and we can’t get enough of our beloved Chicago Bears. Melody Living’s assisted living and memory care community in Lake in the Hills hosts gatherings to watch the game every Sunday of the season.
​
Scientists believe watching football can bring physical wellness to fans. Studies determined watching four quarters is equivalent to a moderate cardiovascular workout, like a brisk walk. Studies also show a boost in your emotional wellness when your team takes over on the scoreboard.
