This Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who gave everything in service to our country. 🇺🇸

Our Missing Man Table serves as a quiet but powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who are still missing, unaccounted for, or held as prisoners of war. Each item placed on the table carries deep meaning, from the empty chair symbolizing their absence to the single red rose representing the loved ones who continue to wait and hope.

As residents, families, and team members pass by, we invite everyone to take a moment to reflect on the courage of those who served our country with honor.

Today we remember, we honor, and we are grateful for all who served.

At Arbor Terrace Herndon, we celebrated Mother's Day with our annual Mother's Day Tea, themed "Pearls of Wisdom." 💐✨ The ladies arrived adorned in beautiful pearls, each carrying stories, memories, and wisdom gathered through the years. Some even shared that legacy by gifting their pearls to their daughters during the celebration. Surrounded by daughters, sisters, friends, family, and staff, we honored not only mothers by birth but also the women who have nurtured, guided, supported, and loved others through their actions every day. It was a beautiful afternoon filled with laughter, love, and meaningful connections. A truly special afternoon honoring all the amazing mothers and mother figures in our community.
