👯Twinning is winning!

On National Senior Citizens Day, our team members celebrated by dressing up as their favorite residents. Here, one of our team members honored a resident whose favorite hobby is reading — complete with the perfect bookworm look.

It's a simple gesture, but it shows how well our team knows the people they care for. When you work in senior living, you don't just learn residents' care needs — you learn their passions, their stories, and what makes them smile.

This is what working at Pegasus Senior Living looks like: a place where you get to know residents so well that you can dress up as them for a day, and where showing up as your authentic, fun-loving self is not just allowed — it's encouraged.

What does a team leadership meeting look like in senior living?

Just as we encourage new residents to make friends at the lunch table, we believe the same applies to our team members. A good meal brings everyone together — whether it's residents sharing stories over dinner or leaders collaborating over lunch.

Our leadership meetings aren't just about schedules and budgets. They're about building relationships, sharing ideas, and supporting each other through every challenge and success.

When leaders connect over a shared meal, they create the kind of environment where great ideas flow and strong teams are built.

From department heads to Executive Directors, we know that the best decisions happen when people feel comfortable with each other. And sometimes that comfort starts with simply breaking bread together.

We’re proud to see our very own Dr. Sandra Petersen featured in PARADE Magazine's health article, “What People Over 60 Should Never, Ever Do When They’re Sick.”

Thank you to writer Emily Laurence for including Dr. Petersen and shining a light on this topic that impacts so many.

🐐 Sometimes the best plans are the ones you never made.

During a routine scenic drive with our Connections memory care residents, a local rancher spotted our van and called to invite everyone to meet his newborn goats. One phone call, a quick U-turn, and suddenly our afternoon drive became an impromptu farm visit.

Watching residents light up as they held baby goats wasn't on anyone's schedule, but it became the highlight of everyone's week. Our driver went from navigator to goat whisperer, and our activities assistant became the perfect photographer for the moment.

This is what working at Pegasus Senior Living looks like — days filled with unexpected turns, spontaneous adventures, and the kind of stories you'll tell for years. You never know when a simple drive will become an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.

Has a community ever thrown you a party?

At Pegasus Senior Living, when one of our team members was expecting, the entire community stepped up. Over 75 people — residents and team members together — celebrated with a baby shower that felt more like a family gathering than a workplace event.

This is what makes working in senior living different. You're not just colleagues; you become part of each other's lives. Residents who've lived through decades of experience become your biggest cheerleaders. Coworkers become your support system. And when life's big moments happen, everyone shows up.

Where else can you find a job where your 85-year-old work buddy knits booties for your baby and your entire community celebrates your milestones? At Pegasus, you don't just work with people — you build relationships that extend far beyond your shift.
