We had such a rewarding time volunteering at Bernie’s Book Bank! Residents applied stickers, sorted books, and loaded pallets—processing hundreds of books in just one day. We left feeling proud, knowing these small tasks will help get books into the hands of children who need them most. 💚

Back-to-school means back to celebrating our teachers! ✏️💛 Our residents had a wonderful time putting together “Emergency Kits” filled with tea packets, chocolates, gum, cereal, tissues, first aid kits, hand lotion, rubber bands, and handwritten cards of thanks.

Though we couldn’t record with the teachers due to policy, the joy of creating these baskets and writing personal notes made this project extra special. 💕

Every click brings us closer to awareness. 💜

is a national creative campaign by Spectrum Retirement senior living communities to support Alzheimer's Association. Through hand-painted umbrellas, we’re raising visibility for Alzheimer’s and celebrating the power of community art.

Green Oaks Senior Living designed this Artbrella around four meaningful quotes that reflect the heart of our community. Above each quote sits a handmade Alzheimer’s Association ribbon, lovingly created by residents in our knitting and crocheting club—because when we come together, beautiful things happen. To top it off, we added purple glitter polka dots as a reminder to keep shining and to honor the vibrant spirit of the Alzheimer's Association.

Designed by Erika, Beverly, Millie, and Kay, this umbrella is filled with love, creativity, and community pride. We’re competing to win our regional round and move into the Final Four!

📣 You can help — LIKE, COMMENT, and SHARE to spread the message.
Let’s go national for a cause that matters.

When 90-year-old Connie and 1-year-old Levi rolled through the community side by side, we couldn’t help but smile. ❤️ Two generations, two wheels, and one beautiful reminder that mobility is freedom at every age.

Shirley’s latest work is a masterclass in color harmony and subtle gradients. 🎨✨ Using a blend of soft blues and greens, she crafted a composition that evokes both tranquility and movement—proof that simplicity can be just as powerful as complexity. With delicate spray and brush techniques, she transformed an upcycled frame into a striking study of modern minimalism.
Art is ageless, and creativity knows no bounds. Bravo, Shirley!
