Summers at Village Concepts of Port Angeles are the best! ☀️ Our residents love strolling the walking paths of our 7 acres of park-like grounds and our shaded courtyard is the perfect place to chat with friends or have a BBQ picnic. Marketing Director Anthony says they often spot deer wandering through or blue heron taking a dip in their fish pond! If you stop by for a visit, don't forget to check out our majestic fountain (it's spectacular)! ⛲😍

The laughter of these two best friends often rings throughout the halls of Village Concepts of Bothell. They participate in almost every activity, make full use of the senior center next door, and enjoy constant visits from their families.

One evening, our Executive Director, Maria, came looking for one of them and couldn't find her. "As I suspected, she was in her best friend's apartment and I could hear their laughter from outside the door!"

When she entered, she found them lounging on the couch, drinking wine from coffee mugs, and discussing life. They invited her to stay and join the conversation, sharing wonderful stories about their husbands. It’s a perfect reminder that friends truly do make the best neighbors – and in this case, best friends make the best neighbors!

These introductions often lead to new walking buddies, card game partners, and meaningful conversations. After all, friends make the best neighbors! ❤️🏡

At Village Concepts of Burien, our team celebrated the vibrant culture of the Philippines in March! 🎉 Residents and staff enjoyed an immersive experience filled with delicious food, traditional clothing, and cultural activities. We are fortunate to have Filipino staff members who graciously shared their heritage with us. The month also included a field trip to a local Asian market, where residents explored Filipino cooking ingredients like calamansi limes, ube, banana leaves, and fish sauce. Our talented chef prepared a mouthwatering chicken adobo meal with pancit, which was a huge hit with the residents! Our Activities Director Daisha also collaborated with Filipino staff members to organize a traditional dress display, featuring the elegant "Baro't Saya," the national costume of the Philippines. Everyone is excited for the next cultural celebration!

At Village Concepts of Burien, we know our dining team is top-notch 🍽️- but now the entire community does too! 🎉 Our very own Dining Director, Nigel, recently took home the Best Soup Award 🏆 at the annual Empty Bowls event in Burien. Here's the fun part: he didn't even know we were participating! 😲 The day before the soup was due, a representative from Discover Burien arrived with a five-gallon bucket, ready to collect our entry. With no prior preparation, our talented chef got creative, using only ingredients available in our community kitchen. The result? A delicious Butternut Squash Soup 🍲 that wowed the crowd and earned us the top spot and a trophy 🏅 we will keep in our community for the next year! This award is a testament to the dedication and talent of our dining team 👏, proving that even when caught off guard, they rise to the occasion—deliciously! 😋 Congratulations to our Dining Services Director, Nigel, on this well-deserved recognition! 🎊 We can’t wait to see what he cooks up next year (with a little more notice this time 😉).

At Village Concepts of Burien, a heated 🎱 pool tournament unfolded between our residents: Bill "The Blade" Loetscher, Goldie Ann "Knuckles" Palmer, Gary "EZ Slice" Erickson, James "8 Ball" Bess, Kathy "The Curve" Fowler, and Bev "Nerves of Steel" Stone.

The game was played "round robin" style with an open ball concept. Each match was very intense, with everyone trying to sink the last ball on the table. 🍿 Beverages and popcorn flowed as the residents cheered each other on and encouraged the next player to keep their spirits up!

The first game ended with Bill making the last shot, and the second game ended with James connecting from the right corner. The final match was epic: Goldie and Bev starred in the last game as they combined to sink most of the balls on the table. Since they were playing round robin, everyone walked away a winner! 🏆

Village Concepts of Burien celebrated our community with Spirit Week celebrations. "Crazy Hat," "Western Wear," and "American Pride" days were favorites and the festivities included themed happy hours, musical guests and conversations about where their outfits came from. While much of the week was lighthearted, deeper memories surfaced as well. Bill B. wore his service cap and shared stories about his time in the Navy and living in Alaska. Long treasured items were worn and shown off with pride and everyone is looking forward to next year!
