We started the 2025-2026 school year off with a partnership between residents and local schools. Finding ways to give back allows us to invest in future generations and pass on generational knowledge that builds bridges across the age gaps.

What an awesome way to get involved and give back. We can't wait to see what connections this year-long program brings.

We’re celebrating Kenny, a beloved junior server at Holiday Country Squire. Since joining the team at sixteen, Kenny has brought energy, kindness and a fun spirit to every shift.

When asked about his favorite part of the job, Kenny didn’t hesitate: “The residents – they are all so sweet.” One of his most meaningful memories was singing for them with his school choir last December.

"There’s a young man that’s going to succeed," shares Barb, a resident. "He’s already shown his love for others. The future needs more like him."

Kenny dreams of becoming a musician, learning piano, owning a home and traveling to Sicily. We’re so proud of him and can’t wait to see what he does next!

Cupid’s arrow struck Joan and Karl 69 years ago and it’s been love ever since! Recently, the happy couple celebrated their 67th anniversary at Holiday Essex House.

Joan worked for Karl’s dad before she and Karl met. One evening, Karl’s dad hosted a party and invited Joan. She arrived alone and needed a ride home – Karl offered, and as they now say, “We haven’t been apart since!”

Glenda brought out her family tree – and suddenly, the room lit up with curiosity.

What started as a quiet genealogy group quickly turned into a gathering of royals, revolutionaries and long-lost family histories. From handwritten archives to DNA surprises, these residents are uncovering more than their ancestors' names; they’re discovering meaning.

What makes a senior living community truly feel like home? It’s not just the building — it’s the people.

Meet Ian, whose kindness and care have residents at Holiday Redbud Hills asking, “Is Ian working tonight?”

Ian’s kindness goes beyond the job description. From preparing coffee to shoveling snow off cars, he shows up with the kind of care that brightens residents’ days. One resident who struggled with memory would ask his name every time, and each visit, Ian’s patience and warmth helped her remember.

“Everyone loves Dolly," shares Curtis, a resident at Holiday Country Squire. "She gets lots of attention!”

Dolly, a chiweenie, has captured the hearts of residents and employees alike. But it's her person, Curtis, who makes sure she’s living her best life with plenty of walks, treats and affection.

We've heard this pup is known as the Princess of Country Squire.

What is the secret to living to 103?

"I don’t have any secret," laughs Marlin, an easy-going resident at Holiday Thornton Place who recently celebrated his birthday with a party in the community. "I just go along with whatever’s happening."

And that aligns with his advice for younger generations. He reminds us all to persevere, "do what has to be done and keep going."
