Love was in the air at Woodlands this Valentine’s Day as residents and staff danced the night away on Friday during a special dinner and dance. It was a sweet reminder that joy - and a little romance - never go out of style. 💕

This Valentine’s Day, fall in love with what’s next. ❤️

John and Sylvia Lancaster didn’t think they were “old enough” for Woodlands. They loved their house… and all the memories in it. But after hearing how important it is to plan ahead, they decided to take a leap - together.

Downsizing from a two-story home to a two-bedroom apartment wasn’t easy, but what they found was freedom. Less to manage. More time for each other. More peace of mind about the future.

❤️ Loving yourself by planning ahead.
❤️ Loving where you live.
❤️ Loving what comes next.

This Valentine’s Day, take a page from John and Sylvia’s story: Choose your future and choose a place that supports every chapter.

📽️ Watch their story and see why planning ahead can be the most loving decision of all.

This week, Woodlands residents and team members spent time giving back to our community by volunteering at the Facing Hunger Foodbank.

We are proud of the generous hearts of our residents and staff who always look for ways to serve others beyond our campus. Thank you to Facing Hunger for all you do for our region - and thank you to our Woodlands volunteers for representing our community so well. 💚

This time of year often has us thinking about what the future holds.

Resolution: Have a plan for the future ✔️

Woodlands’ LifeCare program offers something truly valuable: peace of mind. Residents know that no matter what tomorrow brings, they have a plan, a community and support in place if their needs ever change.

It’s one more way life at Woodlands helps remove worry and make room for what matters most.

A new year often comes with goals focused on health and feeling your best.

Resolution: Stay active ✔️

At Woodlands, fitness fits naturally into everyday life. With on-site workout classes and a fitness center just steps away, staying active doesn’t require extra planning - or braving the weather.

January is the season of fresh starts and big resolutions - and we’ve been thinking about how life at Woodlands makes many of those goals a little easier to enjoy.

Residents Sylvia and John are regular world travelers, exploring new places and then sharing their experiences back home through presentations for fellow residents.

That’s one of the simple joys of life at Woodlands - freedom to explore, and a community waiting to welcome you home.
