Kemp recently launched the program at Market Street East Lake, focusing on the active pursuit of 'personal wholeness' for each resident. The Live Exhilarated™ program includes thoughtfully planned, multi-part programs inspired by individual resident's passions and interests which align with the seven facets of wholeness: Get Active, Be Curious, Get Connected, Be Uplifted, Get Creative, Be Social, Be Adventurous.

At Market Street East Lake, the Live Exhilarated™ program launched with an Oktoberfest celebration featuring authentic German food and the Deutschmeister Blas Band playing familiar tunes. The community chose to Get Connected with German culture to honor the traditions of a fellow resident from Germany.

To Get Curious, residents explored scientific outcomes with a delightful pumpkin volcano experiment; while many chose to Get Social at 'An Evening in Paris' embracing festive attire, French cuisine, music and a fun photo opportunity.

'I Love Lucy Day!' welcomed laughs and nostalgia as residents chose to Be Uplifted with a series of activities celebrating the beloved Lucy character. Residents viewed the documentary of Lucille Ball's life and were greeted with enthusiastic hugs from program specialist Stephanie, dressed as Lucy. "Lucy" took everyone out for a ride, hosted "Lucy-style" chocolate candy making and ended the evening watching memorable episodes of the hit show.
