This Memorial Day, we came together as a community to honor and remember the heroes who gave their lives in service to our country.

Our residents and team enjoyed a BBQ gathering, and our Fallen Soldier Table served as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made for our freedoms. Today and every day, we remember with gratitude and respect.

Thank you to all of the families that joined and to our wonderful staff for making it such a great day.
