National Assisted Living Week starts Sunday, and The Villas of Holly Brook in Shelbyville have many events planned for their residents and the community to celebrate.

On Monday, The Villas of Holly Brook will welcome police, firefighters, and EMS personnel to The Villas to join the residents for an emergency responders’ breakfast. Kathy Kaigley is the Assistant Executive Director at The Villas of Holly Brook in Shelbyville. She says there will be more festivities after the breakfast that morning.

Kaigley says there is a growing demand for assisted living and senior care for many reasons, so it’s important to know the options in your area.

Other events during the week include residents meeting with the Shelbyville Rams football team and cheerleaders on Wednesday, a carnival for the residents on Thursday, and an ice cream social on Saturday the 16th.
