🍦😄 Frozen Yogurt Mission Accomplished! 😄🍦

The residents of Deerfield Ridge set out on a very important outing—a mission for frozen yogurt at Sweet Frog!

There were lots of laughs, plenty of sprinkles, and some very serious decisions about toppings… chocolate or fruit? Gummies or cookie crumbles? Why not a little bit of everything! 🍫🍓🍪

By the end of the visit, cups were full, smiles were even fuller, and it was clear the sweet treat was a huge hit. Some might even say our residents are now official frozen yogurt experts! 💛

🌟 Meet Our Team: Chrisa Walters Ansley, Director of Sales & Marketing 🌟

Chrisa has been serving in senior adult communities for more than 10 years and moved up the mountain to join the Deerfield Ridge team in August 2025. She brings over 25 years of sales, management, and marketing experience.

When asked what she loves about her role, she shared, “Every day I connect with someone new. Every day I have the opportunity to offer relief to exhausted folks who have loved and cared for someone else and are in need. Every day I have the opportunity to make someone's day a tad bit brighter. This doesn't feel like work to me. It feels more like I am where I am supposed to be, doing what I am equipped to do, with the people meant to cross paths with me. How much more perfect could a job be!” 💙

When not caring for our residents, Chrisa enjoys:
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 🐕-- Family time

✨🧘‍♀️ There are real benefits to renewal and self-love, and guests recently experienced just that at Deerfield Ridge.

Matt Rand led an engaging introductory Tai Chi class, sharing beginner formations along with the history and purpose behind the practice. 🌿

🐑💛 Our residents were all smiles during a very special visit from some fluffy baby lambs! 🐑💛

From sweet snuggles to lots of laughter — and a little debate over who was cutest (the lambs may have won 🥰) — it was a joy-filled day all around.

Their tiny “baaas” and soft cuddles stole plenty of hearts and left everyone feeling warm and fuzzy. Life is just sweeter with baby lambs! 🌼✨
