Our Chef Showdown “sweets” event brought the heat – and plenty of sugar!

Residents, guests and even a panel of celebrity judges watched as our chefs went spatula-to-spatula with residents’ cherished dessert recipes in a live cooking competition. From secret family ingredients to chef-inspired twists, everyone had the chance to taste and vote for their favorite version of each sweet treat.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for the fun – and congratulations to all our resident bakers and culinary pros who made this showdown so delicious!

Friends Jan and Vera enjoy chatting and "solving all of the world's problems together," they laugh.

The first few times they saw each other at Holiday Vista de la Montan͂a after Vera moved in, they waved cordially and said hi, but they hadn't had a chance to get to know one another. Then one day, it clicked. "We both finally realized that we have been next door neighbors this whole time. We both just couldn't believe it, and we thought that was so hilarious," Jan says.

"Not only is it great to live in the same community as a really good friend, but to have them as your neighbor is even better," adds Vera. "Every resident should get out more often in the community to talk to other residents because hey, you never know, they just might be your neighbor." 😉

At Holiday Greenwood Terrace, Executive Chef Kristen Schrenk brings more than culinary talent to the table – she brings heart. 💛

With a background that spans fine dining, catering for professional athletes and even a cooking challenge with Gordon Ramsay, Kristen’s career has been nothing short of remarkable. But it’s here, cooking for residents, where she’s found her purpose.

“Whether it’s seniors or celebrities, food is love,” she says. “And if you can share that – on any scale – you’ve won.”

For Kristen, mealtime is about more than nourishment. It’s about comfort, connection and care.

Larry, a 100-year-old resident of Holiday Country Squire, has seen more than most!

As a World War II combat veteran with the 29th Infantry Division, he spent his 20th birthday in a foxhole, dodging bullets on the front lines in Germany. “I had a chunk blown out of the collar of my overcoat,” he recalls. “That’s how close it got.”

Nearly 81 years later, he’s raised a family, cared for his wife through illness, and even run a successful sewing machine business after the war.

Through it all, he has this message to share: War should be avoided, clean living matters and helping others is always worth it.

At 98 years old, Adeline is living proof that movement is the secret to vitality – and she has no plans to slow down.

“You just have to keep moving,“ she shares. Five days a week, Adeline leads a lively aerobics class for her fellow residents at Holiday Thornton Place. “Every once in a while, there’s a day I don’t feel like it, but the group still shows up – and we go.”

Adeline has lived at the community for nearly a decade. She’s a former VA telephone operator with a sharp sense of humor (yes, she admits to eavesdropping back in the day) and a lifelong seamstress who has crafted more than 90 bridesmaid dresses and several wedding gowns. She’s fluent in German and occasionally calls out exercise reps in her second language, just to keep things interesting.

Still independent and full of energy, Adeline remains the heart of her community.

June’s Taste of England lunch transported residents to Great Britain with a flavorful menu featuring potato leek soup, bangers and mash served with peas and onions, and strawberries & cream. Residents and their friends savored the experience, which was complemented by a screening of the period piece Downton Abbey, which follows the story of the Crawley family from the hit TV show of the same name.

We can't wait to see – and taste – the cuisine from our destination next month!

Elsie has lived through more than a century of history – and she’s still going strong at 101.

Her German ancestors crossed the Atlantic in the 1800s, brewing beer on the ship because, as she puts it, “They believed beer was essential.” Elsie, however, prefers a different vice: a good old-fashioned doughnut. 🍩

During WWII, she worked in the government’s alcohol unit, tracking taxes and double-checking every cent. “It was interesting work,” she says. “We had to be accurate. Every cent mattered.”

Now living at Holiday Country Squire, Elsie remains sharp, active and full of stories worth savoring – maybe over a cruller.
