Attendees danced to a summer playlist, enjoyed a picnic style lunch, cornhole, and were assisted into the water. Extra pool noodles, floatation devices and Palm Beach County Ocean Rescue were nearby at all times for extra support. 

“Many of the residents haven’t been to the beach in years. There was a lot of excitement leading up to today and it's really nice to see the smiles on their faces and the feeling of freedom being in the water brings, “ said Jay D Mikosch, Executive Director of Wellington Bay and Lisbet Memory Care. 
Many of the beachgoers participated in the beach cleanup. Gloves, supplies, buckets and pickers were provided by Keep Palm Beach County Beautiful. 

“Keep Palm Beach County Beautiful is proud to support the residents of The Carlisle Palm Beach during Senior Beach Day. It’s a wonderful reminder that caring for our environment also means caring for ourselves. When our seniors come together to protect our beaches, they’re not only keeping our community beautiful, but also staying active, healthy, and engaged in making a positive impact,” said Linda Moreno, Executive Director of Keep Palm Beach County Beautiful. 

Transportation was provided for the residents so all they had to worry about was which bathing suit to wear and which song they wanted to hear next! 

“Thank you, Phil Foster Park, for allowing us to put this event on for our residents,” said Lisa Davis, Campus Executive Director at Carlisle Palm Beach. “Staying active is one of the best things we can do for our long-term mobility, and it was inspiring to see our residents embracing that and giving back to our community.”
