We are honored to share that we’ve been named one of Newsweek’s America’s Best Nursing Homes for 2026! 🌟

As Newsweek says, “One of the most important decisions families face is choosing a trusted nursing home for themselves or a loved one, whether they need it for day-to-day support, medical care, or long-term recovery. Finding the right facility can make a profound difference in health outcomes and overall quality of life.”

We couldn’t agree more and we are grateful to be recognized on this list as we continue our commitment to providing exceptional care, compassion, and community for our residents and their families. ❤️

🍂📚 As the leaves begin to change and autumn settles in, we can’t help but look back with a smile on our Back-to-School Bash at the close of summer.

Our residents, team members, and their families gathered to enjoy time together and sent students off with school supplies to start the year strong. It was a great reminder of the joy that comes from celebrating life’s seasons side by side. 💛

Please help us congratulate Parker Schnurpel, our September Employee of the Month! 🎉

Parker is a valued member of our Dietary team, where he spends much of his time in the Bistro dining room. With a warm smile and caring heart he goes above and beyond to take and prepare residents’ special orders, making each dining experience personal and enjoyable.

What makes this recognition even more special is that Parker was chosen by our Resident Council this month — a true testament to the impact he makes every day. 💙

(📸 And yes, you may notice Parker is a little more casual than usual — this photo was taken on a Casual Friday! 😉)
