Thinking “maybe next month”… again?

Big decisions have a funny way of circling the calendar. Especially the ones about where and how you or your loved one calls home. Familiar feels safe. Change feels big.

But falls, missed medications, and isolation do not wait for the “perfect” time. Sometimes the best thing you can do for tomorrow is think about it today!

Families often say, “Maybe next month.” But while waiting feels kind, it can quietly add stress and risk. Learn the signs it may be time to plan ahead for senior living—before a crisis forces the move.

Some people earn their nickname the moment they arrive. At Edgewood Overland, that was Clutch.

Her humor, confidence, and energy stood out right away, and the name stuck. Born in 1938, Clutch enjoys staying busy. She loves camping, working on her art, and figuring things out for herself.

These days, her joy shows up in the dining room, where she can often be found singing “Jesus Loves Me” and shaking her hips, usually with others happily joining in.

Clutch admits she wasn’t sure what to expect, but she quickly found a community full of friendly faces, laughter, and support.

We Are Edgewood.

Don enjoys woodworking and creating detailed pieces like ornaments, pictures, and crosses. He also enjoys the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing, and values time spent sharing stories about family and favorite memories.

At Edgewood Fruitland, Don appreciates the comfort of familiar routines, meaningful connections, and a place that truly feels like home.

Some couples turn an ordinary drive into something worth remembering.

That’s Henni and her husband Elwyn, better known as Shuley, at Edgewood Park Place Casper. Married since 1961, they bring warmth, curiosity, and music wherever they go.

Henni is a lifelong learner who has worn many hats, from Girl Scout camp director to critical cardiac care nurse. She enjoys reading, quilting, being outdoors, and keeping things just the way she likes them. Music is always nearby, whether she’s singing or playing her lap harp.

That's what makes Edgewood so special. We've made it easy for Henni to find comfort in familiar routines and shared moments, especially the simple joy of cruising with Shuley, windows down, singing along to the radio.

We Are Edgewood.
