A huge THANK YOU to Katie from Romence Gardens & Greenhouses for spreading so much holiday cheer! 🎄🌿

She generously donated the vases and greenery and helped our residents create beautiful holiday arrangements to take back to their rooms. It was a fun, festive, and meaningful experience — and our spaces are feeling extra merry because of it! ✨💚

Holiday magic filled our community! ❄️

We loved hosting the East Grand Rapids High School Madrigal Singers as they shared beautiful a ca****la Christmas carols throughout every level of care — even singing outside in the snow while residents stayed cozy by the fire. Moments like these make the season truly special. 🎄

Holiday gatherings sometimes reveal more than memories. If you noticed Mom or Dad struggling this season, our latest blog can help you understand what those changes may mean and if it is time for more support.

Because caring is more than noticing — it’s knowing what to do next. Your love can guide them toward the support, comfort, and dignity they deserve. 🩵

The holidays have a way of slowing life down just enough for us to truly see the people we love. When you gather with Mom or Dad year after year, the familiar rhythms of the season often highlight changes you might not notice during quick visits or weekly phone calls. Maybe your parent seems confuse...

There’s something truly special about living in a place where neighbors don’t just share a community — they help shape it. 💙

Our residents love rolling up their sleeves to keep our shared spaces looking beautiful. From tidying up common areas to caring for flower beds, they take pride in creating a clean, welcoming environment for everyone who calls our community home.

But it’s about more than just upkeep — it’s about purpose, connection, and knowing that every small act makes a meaningful difference. ✨

Good conversation, memorable flavors, and experiences like this are what make life here so rich and joyful.

Our residents were dazzled as the talented dancers Miss Blair and Mr. Stevens from Arthur Murray Dance Studio lit up the room! 💃🏻🕺🏻

Their incredible performance brought energy, elegance, and plenty of smiles — a beautiful reminder of how the arts continue to enrich life in our community.

Can you believe it’s already December? 🎄

It feels like just yesterday our residents were busy judging the staff’s wildly creative pumpkin designs! Time flies when your days are filled with laughter, community, and moments that make every season memorable.
