The Ardenwoods team came together in an incredible way this week, ensuring residents remained safe, supported and cared for during a temporary water outage at the community.

While repairs were being made to a water tower on the property, water service to the independent living apartments and clubhouse was unexpectedly interrupted from Wednesday evening through Thursday afternoon. Throughout the outage, the team responded quickly and thoughtfully, finding creative ways to meet residents’ needs and maintain comfort.

From delivering hand sanitizer with a smile to going above and beyond behind the scenes to resolve the issue, team members showed true dedication to the people who call Ardenwoods home. Their teamwork and commitment were evident every step of the way.

“I am so proud to be part of this team and to witness every day the incredible care, compassion and dedication you show our residents,” said Executive Director Sarah Marr.

Residents also made sure their appreciation was heard. “We have absolutely the best staff anywhere. Once again, they have proved to us that they care and will do all in their power to take care of us,” shared resident Shirley M.

We are grateful for the resilience of our community and the unwavering commitment of our Ardenwoods team.
