St. Anthony of Lansing Affordable Assisted Living to Host Presidential Bingo and Trivia
Bradley, Illinois (PRWEB) February 03, 2015 -- St. Anthony of Lansing -- a BMA affordable assisted living community -- is hosting President’s Day Bingo and Trivia at 2 p.m. on Feb. 16.
The community, which is located at 3025 Spring Lake Drive in Lansing, Illinois, serves low-income seniors who need some help to maintain their independence.
“Test your wits and join us for a fun afternoon with President's Day trivia and bingo at St. Anthony of Lansing,” said Michelle Cunningham, the community’s marketing director.
Questions, including who led the country in 1951 and which president was the first to have a pet dog live in the White House, will test the presidential knowledge of residents and guests during the event, which is free and open to the public.
Patriotic music will be played, and American-inspired treats, such George Washington cherry cobbler, chocolate Lincoln logs and Election Day cookies, will be served.

The St. Anthony of Lansing assisted living community was developed on more than four acres of property on the east side of Chicago Ave., north of 178th St., in Lansing, Illinois.
The community - a $27.9 million development that opened in 2013 - houses 125 one-bedroom apartments.
"We are providing older adults with a wonderful alternative to a nursing home or to struggling alone at home," says Cunningham.
The community combines residential apartment-home living with the availability of personal assistance, help with medications, and a variety of convenience and support services, such as meals, housekeeping and laundry.
Residents live in private apartments that they will furnish and decorate to their tastes. Each of the apartments features a kitchenette, spacious bathroom with shower and grab bars, individually controlled heating and air conditioning, and emergency alert system.
Certified nursing assistants, working under the direction of a licensed nurse, are on-duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"Residents also benefit from all of the opportunities that will be available to socialize with friends and neighbors and to participate in activities and special programs," says Cunningham.
St. Anthony is certified to operate through the Illinois Supportive Living program, which emphasizes personal choice, dignity, privacy and individuality.
