Ringing in fall with a little light and a lot of joy! Just finished the most beautiful fall lantern craft, and it’s officially setting the cozy vibes.

Crafting isn't just about creating something pretty — it helps improve dexterity, soothes the mind, and is the perfect excuse to gather with friends and enjoy some intentional together time.🧡

Here’s to warm lights, cool nights, and the simple joy of making something with your hands.

✨ Meet the newest member of our Friends Homes family — Tracey Postiglione! ✨

We’re excited to welcome Tracey as our new Sales Counselor. She’s looking forward to helping people plan ahead and make the move to our vibrant community while they can truly enjoy all of the amenities and opportunities that come with it.

Tracey shared, “It’s so refreshing to work with people who are eager to take this step for their future.”

Outside of work, Tracey is celebrating a very special new role in life — becoming a grandmother for the first time! Her grandson, Jonah, was born in March, and watching all of his “firsts” has quickly become one of the greatest joys of her life. 💙

Please join us in giving Tracey a warm Friends Homes welcome in the comments below!

Today at Friends Homes, we had the pleasure of hosting our sister communities—Glenaire, Scotia Village, River Landing, and Well•Spring, for our Kintura Fall Friendlies!
It was a day full of ‘friendly’ competition, laughter, and energy with games of chair volleyball and billiards keeping everyone moving and smiling. 🏐🎱
The delicious food, great camaraderie, and lively spirit made it a wonderful opportunity to stay active and connected. Thanks to everyone who joined us and to all our wondeful volunteers - it’s always a joy to come together as a community! 💙💚

Pow Wows are the Native American people’s way of meeting together, to join in dancing, singing, visiting, eating traditional food, renewing old friendships, and making new ones.

Saturday Friends Homes residents were privileged to witness GNAA’s Annual Pow Wow as hundreds of Native American dancers from varying tribes across the country gathered at Greensboro Country Park to celebrate their rich history and culture.

We enjoyed traditional food, seeing the beautiful handmade pieces of clothing, many that are even family heirlooms, having been passed down from several generations, and watching the tribal dances that are a beautiful part of the culture and heritage.

What a fabulous Friday night!! Residents travelled to see “The Gift” presented by the Paperhand Puppet Project. We experienced the magic of giant puppets, masks, stilts, painted cardboard and cloth, illuminated puppets and shadows all set to original live music in a performance that amazed all!
We readily receive the gifts the world provides with no explicit expectations in return. Yet reciprocity could very well be our best pathway to survival. We can decide to give back, and now is the time.

This afternoon, our fabulous Dining Department delighted us with a decadent roasted peanut and chocolate bark that had everyone lining up and hanging around for seconds!

Did you know North Carolina produces over 400–500 million pounds of peanuts every year? That makes us the 5th largest peanut producer in the country — and today, we tasted the very best of it.

This ‘sweet’ surprise made the afternoon extra special.

Ours residents explored the colorful world of Dale Chuhuly in this vibrant, glass-inspired art class! Using plastic, colored markers, and a lot of imagination, they created their own stunning pieces that captured the movement and magic of Chihuly‘s iconic glass work. Each piece was bold, bright, and beautifully unique – just like it’s creator!

Let the Games Begin!
We’re thrilled to kick off the Kintura Fall Friendlies - a season of fun, laughter, and just the right amount of ‘friendly’ competition!

We’re starting strong with Puzzles, then keeping the momentum going with Billiards, Chair Volleyball, Golf, Pickleball, and the ever-popular Quiz Bowl!

Our residents are on the move, traveling to participate with our wonderful sister properties – and we’re proud to host events right here at Friends Homes, too. These games are more than just competition - they highlight the cognitive sharpness, motor skills, athleticism, and unique gifts of our amazing residents.

Let’s cheer them on and may the ‘friendliest’ team win!
