FROM YOUR DIRECTOR
JEAN RENFORTH,
Executive Director
Did you know October used to be the eighth month?
The early Roman calendar, thought to have been introduced by Rome’s first king, Romulus (around 753 BC) was a lunar calendar. This ancient timekeeping system contained these 10 months: Martius, Aprilis, Maius, Iunius, Quintilis, Sextilis, September, October (meaning the "eighth" month), November, and December. Martius, Maius, Quintilis, and October contained 31 days, while the other months had 30, for a total of 304 days. In winter, the days were not counted for two lunar cycles.
It wasn’t until about 713 BC that a calendar reform, attributed to the second Roman king, Numa Pompilius, added the months Ianuarius and Februarius. Some historians think that both months were placed at the end of the year, while others believe that Ianuarius became the first month and Februarius the last. Later reforms organized the months as they are arranged today in the Gregorian calendar, whereby October became the 10th month in spite of its name.
At Crestwood Village, we pack the calendar full of engaging life enrichment opportunities. I encourage all of our residents to attend the many events here at Crestwood Village this October!

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES THAT MAY HELP LOWER YOUR RISK OF DEMENTIA
As you age, you may have increased concerns about developing dementia. Dementia is the loss of cognitive functioning — thinking, remembering, and reasoning — to such an extent that it interferes with a person's daily life and activities.
While many factors that may influence your risk of dementia, such as genetics and environment, are beyond your control, there may be steps you can take to lower your risk.
Refer your friend to Crestwood Village and after your friend moves in, you will receive a check for $200! Pick up a Referral Reward form in the lobby or download and print a copy here.
