On September 22nd, we celebrate the first day of fall along with joining people around the world in celebrating Centenarians Day. It’s a special occasion dedicated to honoring those who have reached the incredible milestone of 100 years or more. This day is not only about celebrating longevity, but it’s about cherishing the wisdom, history, and enduring presence of centenarians in our lives.
Across all of our Communities, we are honored to have 24 extraordinary residents who are 100 years young and beyond, including 13 who have surpassed the century mark. Each one of them is a living connection to history, carrying with them stories that span a century of experiences, triumphs, and memories. Their journeys remind us of the resilience of the human spirit and the beauty of a life well-lived.
What Centenarians Day Means
- Celebrating Longevity: Reaching 100 years is a remarkable achievement, a testament to strength, perseverance, and vitality.
- Honoring Wisdom and History: Our centenarians are storytellers of times past, offering invaluable lessons, insights, and a bridge between generations.
- Gratitude for Contributions: We celebrate not just their years, but their lifelong contributions, impacting families, communities, and the world in meaningful ways.
On this day, we encourage our centenarians, along with all our Residents, to continue to Live Your Way®. At Westmont Living, Live Your Way® means embracing life on your terms—with your style, your choices, and your passions. The legacies of our centenarians inspire us to live with gratitude, purpose, and joy each day.
To our 24 centenarian residents, thank you for your wisdom, your stories, and your shining example of resilience. Today and every day, we celebrate you.
