Our residents spent a truly special day at the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe, IL — where beauty unfolded at every turn. From strolling through vibrant flower beds and serene Japanese gardens to pausing by peaceful lakeside paths, the experience was filled with wonder. Laughter, stories, and heartfelt reflection bloomed alongside the fragrant flowers. For some, it was a brand-new adventure; for others, a return to a cherished place. For all, it was a reminder of how nature nourishes both the soul and the spirit. 🌸✨

🎨 What if a painted umbrella could raise Alzheimer’s awareness? It can — and it is.

The competition is a creative social media campaign led by Spectrum Retirement senior living communities in support of Alzheimer's Association. Each community designed a hand-painted Artbrella to honor those impacted by Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Burr Ridge Senior Living is proudly representing our region with “Rainy Daze & Daisies” — more than a painted umbrella, it’s a symbol of hope, memory, and resilience. The yellow daisies blooming across its canopy were inspired by the warmth and brightness we wish to hold onto, even on life’s rainiest days.

For those living with Alzheimer’s, days can sometimes feel clouded or foggy — like a steady drizzle that blurs familiar paths. But the daisy, with its sunny face and unshakable cheer, reminds us that beauty and joy can still break through. Each blossom painted here stands for a cherished moment, a smile, or a shared laugh — memories worth sheltering from the downpour.

This Artbrella tells the story of carrying light through the storm, reminding us that love, like a daisy in spring, can outlast the rain.

With your help, we could win our bracket and advance to the Final Four for a shot at national recognition.

It’s the warm welcome at the front desk. The handwritten birthday note. The extra phone call to a concerned family member.

Our administrative professionals are more than the task list—they’re the soul of the community. Today, we honor the ones who bring comfort, connection, and care to every moment. Your presence makes this place feel like home.

When 90-year-old Connie and 1-year-old Levi rolled through the community side by side, we couldn’t help but smile. ❤️ Two generations, two wheels, and one beautiful reminder that mobility is freedom at every age.

Shirley’s latest work is a masterclass in color harmony and subtle gradients. 🎨✨ Using a blend of soft blues and greens, she crafted a composition that evokes both tranquility and movement—proof that simplicity can be just as powerful as complexity. With delicate spray and brush techniques, she transformed an upcycled frame into a striking study of modern minimalism.
Art is ageless, and creativity knows no bounds. Bravo, Shirley!
