A meaningful moment at the Inglenook Building on May 26 🇺🇸

A special flag retirement and replacement ceremony brought the community together to honor tradition and service. A well-worn American flag was respectfully retired and replaced with a new flag that once flew over the U.S. Capitol, made possible through the generosity of Lloyd and Regina Foshey and the support of Congressman John Joyce.

The ceremony included participation from resident veterans Gary Davis and Do Sylvester, who lowered the original flag and raised the new one. Phil Mentzer of Duncanville shared a moving poem, and members of the Hollidaysburg Community Chorus led patriotic songs with everyone joining in.

This ceremony marks the beginning of a series of events celebrating America 250 at the community.

For Allison Boden, Director of Social Work at Green Ridge Village, senior living is more than a career - it’s a calling. 💙

With 10 years of dedication to Presbyterian Senior Living, Allison has become a trusted advocate for residents and families alike. Her journey was inspired by her own close relationship with her grandparents, and today, she uses that personal connection to ensure every resident feels seen and supported.

Whether it’s organizing a "Christmas in July" for a resident in need of joy or advocating for a smooth transition home, Allison’s compassion knows no bounds. 🌟

"Do not be afraid to speak up," is the advice she’d give her younger self. Today, that confidence helps her ensure our residents receive the very best care every single day.

Join us in celebrating Allison and the incredible heart she brings to Green Ridge Village! 🌲✨

As part of PSL’s Spirit Month, the Community Life team at Kirkland Village - PSL's Life Plan community in Bethlehem, PA - partnered with Holisticare Hospice for an education session during their Caregiver tea.

A heartfelt thank you to Nyasia Cauley and Allison M. Heller, BSBA, PCHA, respectively Holisticare's community liaison and program director, for leading a meaningful discussion on self-wellness and a guided meditation.

Caregiving is deeply rewarding, but also comes with unseen emotional, mental, and physical demands. Taking time to pause, reflect, and care for ourselves isn’t a “nice to have”; it’s necessary.

We are grateful for the opportunity to create space for the Independent Living residents who are caregivers to recharge, connect, and be reminded that their well-being matters too. 💚
