🎶 The Healing Power of Music in Memory Care 🎶

At our Community, we witness daily how music therapy brings joy, comfort, and connection to our residents in Memory Care. Whether it's tapping to a familiar rhythm, singing along to beloved tunes, or simply listening with closed eyes and a smile—music reaches places words cannot.

As neurologist and author Oliver Sacks once said:

“Music can can provide access-even when no medication can-to movement, to speech, to life.”
— Oliver Sacks

We are grateful to see how music continues to unlock memories, spark joy, and foster meaningful moments for our residents. 💜

At Atria Carmichael Oaks, Aalyah does more than distribute medication as a Caregiver – she delivers peace of mind and comfort.

We're proud to share that Aalyah was recently honored with the California Assisted Living Association's Excellence in Service Award.

“She’s just really great,” says Kayla, the community's Executive Director. “And she didn’t even think she deserved the award. But that’s what makes her so special. She’s not doing it for recognition. She’s doing it because she cares.”

Read how her dedication and quiet strength are making a real difference: http://ms.spr.ly/6189snj7U

Every other Tuesday, the book club at Atria Grass Valley gathers to dive into exciting reads, and their recent selection was no exception! Residents read "Blind Descent" by Nevada Barr, a gripping mystery set in the caves of Carlsbad Caverns.

To enrich the experience, resident Marge shared a stunning slideshow of photos from Carlsbad Caverns National Park, bringing the book vividly to life.

They're already looking forward to their next exciting read!

For Richard, architecture was never just a job – it was a lifelong adventure in creativity. For more than five decades, he designed everything from libraries and hospitals to luxury homes and award-winning churches.

“I worked on so many different kinds of projects, with so many wonderful people,” he says. “I was very lucky. The real reward is seeing your buildings finished and people enjoying them.”

Now a resident at Atria Cutter Mill, Richard continues to inspire us with stories from a remarkable career.

Friendship, like flowers, starts as a sprout. And, with time and care, it blossoms into something beautiful!

Shirley, one of our wonderful Resident Ambassadors at Atria Park of Vintage Hills and an avid gardener, inspired fellow resident Phyllis to start her own garden this spring by sharing seeds – and now Phyllis’s garden bed is in full bloom!

It’s a beautiful reminder that it’s never too late to try something new — or to make a new friend along the way.

Here’s to growing together, one bloom at a time!

Ready. Set. Go!

Residents at Atria Draper Place hit the track with their own customized boxcars. "The best part was sitting around the table chatting and laughing with one another while we were making a mess painting them," shares Barbara.

From building the little wooden cars to giving them signature paint jobs, everyone was a winner even before the competition began!

Meet Terry, a proud U.S. Army veteran and resident of Atria at Hometown. 🇺🇸

After 20 years of military service – including a combat tour in Vietnam and a career in Army JAG – Terry went on to work in federal investigations, covering high-profile cases for agencies like the SEC and Department of Justice. Through it all, one thing stayed constant: his deep commitment to service and integrity.

“I’ve had a great life,” he says. “Every turn seemed to come with a blessing. And I love it here at Hometown,” he adds. “It’s peaceful. We don’t have any stress, any problems, anything. When we got here, I felt like I was in heaven."

We're honored to have you as a resident, Terry.

Meet Jay, a resident at Atria Grapevine whose love for quilting is matched only by her love for her husband, Jimmy.

Jay and Jimmy moved in nearly three years ago, after his dementia diagnosis, and they’ve found more than just care – they’ve found community. “We know everybody – all the workers, everybody – and it’s so friendly. That’s a real support system for me and Jimmy.”

When she’s not spending time with Jimmy or her neighbors, Jay stays busy stitching quilts, table runners and binding projects for friends (and even her sister). “It’s very calming to me. I enjoy it. There’s a real sense of accomplishment.”

She even transformed her pantry into a cozy sewing nook – a space dedicated to her personal passion.

There’s nothing quite like getting lost in a book, and no one knows that better than Arlene, a resident of Atria Forest Hills.

A longtime passionate reader, Arlene finds joy in listening to literary podcasts and audiobooks, and taking part in book clubs. Well-versed in everything from timeless classics to modern favorites, she's happy to make reading recommendations, which had us wondering, what is the best book you've read so far this year?

When a resident needed urgent medication, Cathyren didn’t hesitate — even on her day off. With persistence and care, she spent more than 10 hours making sure they got the care they needed.

That’s just one reason Cathyren, Resident Services Supervisor at Atria El Camino Gardens, was honored with the Excellence in Service Award from the California Assisted Living Association.

Art isn’t just about creating something beautiful. For those living with memory impairments, it’s a powerful form of expression. It taps into long-held memories, stimulates the senses, and brings a sense of calm and purpose. Coloring can reduce anxiety, spark joy, and even help improve focus and motor skills.

Watching our residents smile as colors came to life on the page was a reminder: even when words fade, the language of art remains.
