'It's a place for clarity, compassion, and community. No judgment, just help and hope.'
'At Discovery, we believe that leadership in senior living requires more than operating great communities.

Our team of experts are building new tools and resources to support residents and families today, while shaping the future of extraordinary senior living.

Why Now? Brain Health and Dementia is a National Priority

The Disappearing Mind is the first podcast of its kind to speak to both sides of the spectrum, from proactive aging and brain health to dementia care and caregiver empowerment.

RFK Jr. pulls $500 million in funding for vaccine development
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Department of Health and Human Services will cancel contracts and pull funding for some vaccines that are being developed to fight respiratory viruses like COVID-19 and the flu. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary and a longtime vaccine critic, announced in a statement Tuesday that $500 million worth of vaccine development projects, all using mRNA technology, will be halted. The projects — 22 of them — are being led by some of the nation's leading pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Moderna to prevent flu, COVID-19 and H5N1 infections. The mRNA vaccines are credited with slowing the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. Kennedy said in the Tuesday statement that he wants the health department to move away from mRNA vaccines, calling on the department to start 'investing in better solutions.' He provided no details on what those technologies might be. Solve the daily Crossword

Samsung Galaxy Ring drops to its all-time low price from Prime Day
Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy Ring is an awesome wearable, but it's expensive, and deals are hard to come by. It's rarely on sale! The best discount we've seen on it takes it down to $299.99, which is $100 in savings, and this only happened during Prime Day. Today, the same record-low price is available for everyone! Buy the Samsung Galaxy Ring for just $299.99 ($100 off) This offer is available from Amazon as a 'limited time deal.' The discount is applied automatically to all color versions of the Galaxy Ring. This includes Black, Silver, or Gold. Samsung Galaxy Ring Samsung Galaxy Ring Fancy Titanium ring, with fancy sensors The Samsung Galaxy Ring is a leap into a new device segment for Samsung. Available in nine sizes 5 through 13, this jewelry-inspired wearable is packed with sensors to track your health and fitness, and some basic controls for your smartphone. Designed for 24/7 wear. See price at Amazon Save $100.00 Limited Time Deal! As much as I like the Samsung Galaxy Ring, and everyone I know who uses one feels the same way, I find it hard to pay almost $400 for a smart ring. This $100 discount makes the price much more enticing. I am personally not much of a flashy person, which is one of the things that made me like the Samsung Galaxy Ring so much. It is really made to go unnoticed, with a minimalist design that doesn't make it look much like a high-tech gadget. It sure is more than a cheap, simple band, though. It is made of titanium, which is known for being a very light and resistant metal. It's only 7mm wide and 2.6mm thick, so it will also be very comfortable to wear. While it looks simple, there's a lot of technology inside this little ring. It has features to throw around! The Samsung Galaxy Ring can track your heart rate, blood oxygen levels, skin temperature, sleep, activity, and more. It can even help women predict their menstrual cycles! Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority This is a great health tool, but smart home enthusiasts will also love its smart home functionality. It integrates with Samsung SmartThings, and you can use it to control your smart home devices. For example, you can program it to turn off the lights when the rung detects that you are asleep. Pretty fun, right?! You can use it with any Android device, but some of the features are exclusive to Samsung. Some of these include the ability to use pinch gestures, Samsung Health data integration, access to Energy Score, and Wellness Tips. The battery life is pretty nice, as it can last about four days on a charge. You can conveniently charge it using the carrying case. As an added benefit, there is no subscription needed to use the Samsung Galaxy Ring. Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority Again, this is a record-low price for this product, so you might want to sign up for yours before the offer disappears. These discounts don't tend to last long. By the way, you'll have to find out and pick your ring size. Samsung has its own guide to figure out which size works best for you, so check it out before you make the purchase. Follow

Death Toll Rises To 3 In Legionnaires' Outbreak In New York
Cases of Legionnaires' disease in New York City reached 67 on Tuesday, as the growing outbreak in the city has resulted in three deaths, though the New York City Department of Health says the risk to most people remains low. Legionnaires' disease cases reached 67 by Tuesday. (Photo by) Getty Images The NYC Health Department is investigating the cases of Legionnaires' in Central Harlem, specifically in the zip codes 10027, 10030, 10035, 10037, and 10039. Legionnaires' disease, a form of pneumonia, is caused by bacteria (Legionella) that grows in warm water, with cooling towers, showers and hot tubs among the sources, according to the health department, which noted residents in the affected zip codes can still drink tap water, bathe, shower, cook and use their air conditioners. People who inhale mist containing Legionella can get sick, but most people exposed to it do not develop Legionnaires' disease, which is not contagious between people and cannot be contracted by drinking water. The NYC Health Department has said the outbreak is not linked to any building's plumbing system. This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
