We were thrilled to welcome Jefferson County Police Officer Bybee to our community as he spent time with two of our residents who proudly served as police officers themselves. The stories, the smiles, and the shared respect across generations were truly heartwarming.

Officer Bybee went above and beyond by bringing police patches and challenge coins to commemorate our residents’ years of service—small tokens with big meaning.

Thank you, Officer Bybee, and thank you to all who serve and have served. 💙🇺🇸

While wandering is a concern year-round, it becomes especially dangerous in winter, when cold temperatures add serious health and safety risks. Here are some of those risks along with tips to help safeguard a loved one from wandering:
