We’re proud to share that Holiday The Regent has earned an Atria Senior Living Q Award! 🏆 This recognition is given to communities that achieve outstanding scores across dining, activities, cleanliness and overall resident experience.

Kjell’s passion is woodworking. ⚒️

Originally from Norway, he came to the U.S. at just 15 and built a life in Seattle. After retiring, he and his wife Marilyn moved into a cottage at Holiday Hidden Lakes to be closer to family.

From piggy banks for his 24 great-grandchildren to handcrafted pens, clocks and birdhouses, Kjell is still an active craftsman. The workshop he set up in the cottage's garage is his happy place, and he’s even made hundreds of small wooden crosses for the community chaplain to share.

Marilyn says, “He’s always happiest in his shop." And with his talent and dedication, it’s easy to see why.

We’re proud to celebrate Bobby, a recent high school graduate who has been part of the Holiday Country Squire waitstaff team since age 15. He's heading off to study nursing at Missouri Western State University.

"One of my favorite parts about working at Country Squire has been having meaningful conversations with our General Manager," Bobby shares. He says these conversations have helped shape his goals for the future.

"He's a wonderful young man who we love," shares Shirley, one of the community's residents. With plans to become a traveling nurse, Bobby is set to make a difference while seeing the world.

Congratulations, Bobby!

Happy Birthday, Marie!🍦

Holiday Pinegate celebrated the 83rd birthday of one of their fabulous Resident Ambassadors with an ice cream social! Residents, friends, neighbors and family enjoyed sweet toppings galore and joined in a game of “How Well Do You Know Marie?” trivia.

Today’s Resident Showcase featuring resident Judith Williams on the southern tradition of wreath making as an act of hospitality and giving to others.

We learned about southern antebellum homes having two front doors and one having a wreath as an indication of a hospitality entrance where travelers were always welcomed to rest. Old wreaths originally featured the welcoming symbol of a pineapple. 🍍

Then also we learned how Judith carried this tradition forward making wreaths for soldiers injured in the Vietnam War. Today she makes ribbon wreaths just for fun and will lead a wreath making event this Saturday for fellow residents.

Resident Showcase is our property’s newest activity initiative to connect our community at a deeper level. Special thanks to Judith for sharing her history and talents with us today! 💝

Grandparents' Day was extra special this year! Leading up to the celebration, grandchildren dropped off their favorite “stuffies” to stay with residents for the week. The stuffed friends joined in on fitness classes, book clubs and even community outings – and we captured it all in photos to share with their grandchildren.

On Grandparents' Day itself, families reunited for Muffins with Grands, picked up their stuffies and keepsake photo booklets, played backyard games and ended the day with popcorn and a movie together.

It was a celebration of the love, laughter and the impact grandparents have on their families.
