September 26, 2023 (North Tonawanda, NY) ─ Merriment, fanfare and reminiscing ushered in National Assisted Living Week (NALW) at Wheatfield Commons, a DePaul Senior Living Community in North Tonawanda. Celebrated from September 10-16, NALW is an opportunity for residents, their loved ones, staff, volunteers and the community to recognize the role of assisted living in caring for seniors and individuals with disabilities.

Residents at Wheatfield Commons have been celebrating all month long in a multitude of ways.
