The Osborn hosted a birthday celebration for residents turning 100 this year and those who have already passed that significant milestone.
Fifteen residents of The Osborn are in this esteemed group and 13 came to the luncheon hosted by President and CEO, Matt Anderson and members of the senior staff. Talk around the table included shared memories of Charles Lindbergh’s flight to Paris and the 1927 baseball season with the record-breaking successes of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
Mrs. Louise Levy, 107, is the oldest resident at The Osborn. She lives in one of the Independent Living apartments. She attributes her longevity to a positive attitude and being surrounded with people she loves. Mr. Leon Starr, nearly 100, lives in a Garden Home and underscored the importance of starting every day with a healthy breakfast and making time for regular exercise.
“We are so grateful to honor these men and women who have enjoyed such interesting and long lives,” said Mr. Anderson. “While we know that genetics and healthy living play important roles, living in an engaged and vibrant community like The Osborn can also help people live life to the fullest – no matter how old you are!”
