Teachers make up many of our residents. What makes it special is how they bring the same patience and understanding they once used in the classroom into everyday life here. So, while they may not have a lesson plan anymore… they’re still shaping the room, building connections, and making people feel seen.

Because they didn’t stop teaching. They just changed classrooms.

Hydration is daily care, simple, essential, and easy to overlook.

Drinking enough keeps kidneys healthy, energy up, and UTIs at bay. We make hydration a habit, woven seamlessly into daily life. A few sips with meals. With meds. Between activities. A favorite cup, a splash of lemon, whatever makes it easy and enjoyable.

Make it routine. Start early. Sip often. Keep it simple.

Meet Wanda. A nurse. A storyteller. A reminder that the heart of healthcare doesn’t retire.

Wanda spent 45 years at the bedside. Now, she’s on the other side of it. What started as a practical choice turned into a cross-country career full of one thing: people who mattered.

This Nurses Appreciation Month, we’re celebrating the ones who never stopped being who they are.

You can retire from nursing. You can’t retire from caring. After 45 years, Wanda knows the difference between care that’s given… and care that’s felt. At Edgewood Healthcare, she found it.You can retire from nursing.You can’t retire from caring.45+ years. ER. Surgery. OB.Wanda has seen it ...

"We need a place for Mom… and Medicaid needs to start NOW."

If only it worked like that. Medicaid isn’t a sprint it’s a marathon with paperwork.

But planning early? That’s the game‑changer. Our teams walk families through the process long before the crisis moment hits.

Less chaos. More clarity. Better outcomes.

Many families start the Medicaid conversation when they’re already in crisis, but the process takes time. Understanding the basics and planning ahead can make all the difference when care is needed.

Different generations. Same heart. Turns out the generation gap isn’t as wide as we think. At Edgewood, volunteering has no age limit; it’s simply about showing up, pitching in, and connecting.

“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they have the heart.” — Elizabeth Andrew

This National Volunteer Month, we’re celebrating everyone who brings their heart, humor, and willingness to help. Because, these are the moments where bonds are formed, wisdom is passed down, and joy shows up in the most unexpected ways.

Thank you for helping bridge generations and create a place where everyone belongs.

At Edgewood, volunteering isn’t about age - it’s about heart. Join us this National Volunteer Month and see how giving back can brighten lives.

Ever wonder what a caregiver’s day really looks like?

It’s not just a job. It’s thousands of small moments that matter. Every day looks a little different, but it always centers around each resident, and it doesn’t always end when the shift does.

As we wrap up National Caregiver Appreciation Month, we’re reminded just how much heart goes into each day. At Edgewood, residents have been leading the way in showing that appreciation.

It starts early, moves quickly, and rarely slows down. A caregiver’s day is filled with compassion, patience, and moments that matter. Here’s a...

An assessment isn’t a test, it’s a conversation.
A chance to understand daily routines, preferences, support needs, and life goals in a relaxed, personal way.

It’s about people first, not paperwork. It’s the foundation for care that feels more personal, more thoughtful, and built around the person, not the process, and there’s more to it than meets the eye.

Understanding a senior living assessment doesn’t have to be intimidating—it’s a conversation to help match residents with the right care and support.
