Vitalia Senior Residences at Stow Demonstrates Acts of Kindness During Be Kind to Humankind Week

Kindness is defined as doing something towards yourself and others, motivated by genuine desire to make a positive difference. Kindness is shown to increase self-esteem and mood, decrease stress levels, improve relationships, slow aging, and is accompanied by emotional warmth. Research shows kindness and mental health are deeply connected.

We at VITALIA Senior Residences® at Stow know that one act of kindness can lead to many more. Kindness is contagious and it begins with you!

To me, kindness means going above and beyond for someone that you care about. Some ways to encourage kindness and put a smile on someone’s face is with laughter or just having fun with someone to make them happy.

We can help to inspire others to spread kindness with participation in fun activities. I have seen numerous times, residents helping each other out, putting a smile on each other’s faces.

Kindness is important to health and well-being. It improves one’s well-being by improving self-esteem and mood.

VITALIA Senior Residences® at Stow practices kindness each day with every resident, whether they live in Independent Living, Assisted Living, or Memory Care. Arrow Senior Living believes “Acts of Kindness can drive change in the world.” We hope kindness finds its way to and from you.
