WEST MILFORD National Assisted Living week founded in 1995 by the National Center for Assisted Living provides the opportunity to join together residents, families, staff, and volunteers to celebrate our elders, and “Hearts in Harmony.” The week’s celebration began with Grandparents’ Day. Young and old shared stories and enjoyed ice cream. Next, the seniors relaxed on Spa Day with massages, manicures and the like. Residents went apple picking at Penning’s Orchards, and experienced singing Karaoke. The final evening included a hat lovers contest and dancing and singing with entertainers Vince and Peg Martel. Van Dyk is an assisted living and senior apartment facility located on 197 Cahill Cross Road in West Milford. It is a family run business providing health care and housing for older adults.
