For many, springtime brings to mind warmer weather, fragrant flowers, green grass…and the tradition of the annual Senior Prom. This annual formal dance has become a significant rite-of-passage for most high school students in the United States. Every year many people look forward to seeing handsome young couples around town, dressed in formal wear and smiling for the camera. These images cause many to reminisce about their own senior proms of long ago.

In the interest of continuing this delightful spring tradition, an increasing number of communities have given the "Senior Prom" a new twist by creating a different kind of Prom…a Senior Prom for actual senior citizens! (After all, why should the kids get to have all of the fun?!)

Nightingale Home Healthcare was recently the proud sponsor of not only one, but two Senior (Citizen) Proms this year…the Indianapolis Senior Prom and the Hendricks County Senior Prom. Both events were very well attended, offering an elegant meal and a great deal of dancing. In some cases, romance was rekindled as couples waltzed around the dance floor or danced cheek-to-cheek. Guests were overheard giggling about how they had a lot more fun at this prom than they ever had when they were in high school.

These popular Senior Proms, for adults and seniors, are all about the fun of getting to dress up, go out for a fancy dinner and dance the night away. As time goes by, we are freed from the insecurity and awkwardness of youth. Gone is the chronic anxiety of "Whom should I invite?" and "What should I wear?" because many attend the Prom with their spouse or a good friend. So, if you are interested in experiencing a truly wonderful evening that is sure to bring back a lot of fun memories, be sure to join us next year at one of Nightingale Home Healthcare's Senior Prom events.

We promise that it will be a dazzling night you will never forget, so don't miss this unique chance to dance, play and socialize like you did in your early years. Nightingale would love to receive your ideas and plan a Senior Prom for senior citizens in your own hometown!
