We had an amazing time at the North Carolina SAHMA Conference centered around the powerful theme, “Building Stability: Housing as the Foundation of Wellness.” 🏡✨

We’re excited to bring these new insights back home and continue creating safe, supportive environments where our residents can truly thrive. 💙

Here’s to growth, collaboration, and building stronger communities together!

💚 May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚

Feeling connected to others plays such a big role in our mental health—and it’s something we think about every day at Givens Ge**er Park.

From the way our buildings are designed to the programs we offer, everything is created with connection in mind. Our shared spaces—like lounges, community rooms, and gardens—make it easy to bump into a neighbor, start a conversation, and build genuine friendships.

Our café is one of the heartbeats of the community. It’s more than just a place to eat—it’s where residents gather, catch up, laugh, and spend time together.

We also offer a variety of activities and programs that give residents meaningful ways to stay engaged—whether it’s learning something new, staying active, or just enjoying time with others.

And behind it all, our supportive services team, including social workers and a community nurse, help make sure residents feel supported.

At the end of the day, Givens Ge**er Park is about more than housing—it’s about creating a true sense of community where people feel seen, supported, and connected.

Happy National Donkey Day! 🫏

Our residents were absolutely delighted today as our dog park had some visitors—temporarily taken over by two adorably sweet miniature donkeys!

A special thank you to our Supportive Services Manager, Lisa, for sharing her two miniature donkeys with our community. Their gentle nature and playful spirits brought so many smiles to both residents and staff.

Moments like these truly capture the joy of community and connection—thank you, Lisa, for helping make today so memorable! 💛

Instead of a traditional farewell, we sent Jewel off to retirement in a way that truly honors her incredible gift of baking! 💕 We hosted a staff bake-off for our Café team, and the results were nothing short of delicious.

These four desserts made the decision very difficult residents wanted to choose them all! 😄

🍓 Strawberry Earthquake Cake
🍫 Walter’s Chocolate Bread Pudding
🎃 Pumpkin Crunch Cake
🧀 Savory Sun‑Dried Tomato, Basil & Three‑Cheese Scone

Thank you, Jewel, for sharing your talent, heart, and love through food over the years. What a sweet way to celebrate an amazing career and wish you well in this next chapter! 💐✨

🎤 Karaoke Party at Givens Ge**er Park!

🎶 Our Resident Council truly hit all the right notes with our karaoke party—and wow, was it a hit! What started as karaoke quickly turned into a joyful community-wide sing-along, with neighbors cheering each other on and filling the room with laughter and music.

It was a full house, standing-room only, and the energy was absolutely contagious. Proof once again that when residents lead, the magic happens! 💙

Bravo to our Resident Council for hosting such a fun, inclusive event—and to everyone who sang, clapped along, or just enjoyed the show. 🎵✨

👉 What song should we add to the playlist next time?
