We had a wonderful time at our Farm to Table Candlelight Luncheon! Residents enjoyed a beautiful meal featuring locally sourced ingredients fresh from the farm, including arugula, asparagus, honey, red potatoes, beets, parsnips, and rhubarb.

The afternoon was filled with delicious flavors, warm candlelight, and great company. We also loved incorporating these same fresh ingredients into our Farmers Market in our Memory Care neighborhood, creating meaningful and engaging experiences for all.

A truly beautiful celebration of fresh food, community, and connection! 🌿🕯️🍽️

Last Friday’s Happy Hour was one for the books as we celebrated the 100th birthday of Route 66! 🎉🛣️

Our residents in Memory Care enjoyed a special walk down Route 66, filled with memories, smiles, and nostalgia. Then the fun continued with a Route 66 themed Happy Hour in Assisted Living and Independent Living, where everyone came together to celebrate this iconic piece of American history.

From great music to wonderful company, it was a fantastic afternoon full of laughter and community spirit. Thank you to everyone who helped make this celebration so special! ❤️

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of celebrating Administrative Professionals Day by recognizing the incredible work of our receptionists and Becky, our Operations Coordinator.

Their dedication, organization, and friendly faces are often the first impression people have, and they play such an important role in keeping everything running smoothly for our community. From managing the day-to-day details to helping others feel welcomed and supported, their impact does not go unnoticed.

Thank you for everything you do! We truly appreciate you!

Week 3 of Earth Month = Spring Cleaning Success! 🌿✨

Yesterday, we rolled up our sleeves and spent the day cleaning up our community—picking up, freshening up, and making everything look s***k and span! It’s amazing what a little teamwork and care can do for the spaces we share.

We’re proud to do our part in keeping our environment clean, beautiful, and welcoming for everyone. Small actions really do make a big difference 🌎💚

Who else has been tackling some spring cleaning this month? Let’s keep the momentum going!
