Ron and Connie spent 58 years building a life together before memory loss changed their relationship. Our blog shares their family's journey to finding memory care at Autumn Glen Senior Living, a community managed by The Goodman Group. Through their daughter Tammy's perspective, we see how choosing the right community allowed Connie to be Ron's wife again rather than his sole caregiver, and how Ron found a place that truly feels like home.

📚✨ MAVS in Action: Free Book Fair ✨📚

In celebration of National Reading Month, students and team members from Minnesota State University (MNSU) spent the month of March collecting books to give back to the community — and their kindness truly made an impact.

They brought their collection to Old Main Village and hosted a special book fair just for residents. It was such a joy seeing everyone browse, pick out new reads and share their love of books together.

We are so grateful for this thoughtful gesture and for the time and effort put into making this event so meaningful. Thank you, MAVS in Action and MNSU, for spreading the joy of reading! 📖💙

Today’s happy hour was an Earth Day celebration to remember. 🌎💚

Residents enjoyed a delicious spread of chips and guacamole, fresh fruit and everyone’s favorite dirt cups (chocolate pudding, cookies and gummy worms). To make the day even more meaningful, residents participated in a friendly recycling competition between all three floors.

Congratulations to the third floor for collecting the most recyclable items. ♻️👏 Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the community a little greener while enjoying time together.
