National Happy Hour Day

Cheers! National Happy Hour Day is Friday, November 12, 2021. Melody Living Lake in the Hills Senior Living Community hosts happy hour for residents every week. The drink menu includes alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The social benefits of seniors attending happy hour are overflowing.
 
There are several recent studies related to the benefits of spirits for seniors. First, a University of California San Diego School of Medicine led study claims older adults who consume alcohol moderately on a regular basis are more likely to live to the age of 85 without dementia or other cognitive impairments than non-drinkers. The findings were published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease.

​A University of Pittsburgh study published in Research on Aging suggests about 70 percent of assisted living residents drink alcohol, and it’s likely that the number is even higher for residents at an independent living community.
 
Melody Living Lake in the Hills senior living communities host happy hour for our residents to connect with each other and grow a larger support system. Happy Hour is on Fridays at 3:30 p.m. We also gather for Mimosas & Mingling on Mondays at 10:15 a.m. Health experts believe socially active seniors are more motivated to stay in good health to keep up with their friends and family members.
