Savannah, Georgia – September 9, 2022 – As August draws to a close, and another National Senior Citizens Day has come and gone, it is worthwhile to reflect on the important role of seniors in American society. With that thought in mind, the Savannah, Georgia-based senior living community The Social at Savannah wishes to call attention to the history and meaning of National Senior Citizens Day.
Celebrated annually on August 21st, National Senior Citizens Day was first proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan in 1988, a senior citizen himself at the time. At the official proclamation ceremony, President Reagan made the following remarks:
“For all that they have achieved throughout their lives and for all that they continue to do, we owe our gratitude and sincere greetings to our senior citizens. We can show our gratitude and appreciation better by making sure our communities are good places. Age and maturity, places where older people can participate as much as possible and find the encouragement, acceptance, support and services they need to continue living a life of independence and dignity.”
The Social at Savannah echoes the sentiments of President Reagan, and calls on all Americans to cherish the role of senior citizens in society, and to show them honor and respect not only each August 21st, but all year round. They have more than earned such treatment.
Since its inception nearly 35 years ago, National Senior Citizens Day has also been used as a catalyst to bring attention to various important issues that affect the elderly, such as health problems, financial exploitation, and isolation. The Social at Savannah takes these issues with the utmost seriousness, and its team members do everything within their power to protect its residents against these issues while providing love and support and continually advocating for senior citizens in general.
