Frank Rosenstein, a resident of Westbury Care Center, a Brookdale Senior Living retirement community in Lisle, IL. soared to new heights while taking a ride of a lifetime on “Serena’s Song,” the nation’s first wheelchair accessible balloon.
During the early morning hours on Sunday, July 6 Frank ascended into the sky at the Eyes to the Skies Festival in Lisle Community Park.
To his surprise his daughter met everyone at the balloon site launch, and she joined him on his flight.
“Sharing this experience with my family only added to this very special day,” said Frank.
Frank flew a private jet for Swift foods before retiring, and often took the family for flights on weekends.
“I truly love flying,” said Frank.
“We had such a wonderful time. The look on Frank’s face and his obvious enjoyment was heartwarming,” said Rosemarie Thomas, director of lifestyles of Westbury Care Center. “We were honored and thankful to be able to help one of our residents achieve their dreams and live an Optimum Life.”
The Optimum Life® program is exclusive to Brookdale Senior Living communities, and is a lifestyle where whole person wellness is achieved through fulfillment in six key dimensions of wellness - physical, emotional, purposeful, social, spiritual, and intellectual.
