The next time you visit our campus, you may notice that our main entrance has a refreshing new look! Crews from Carroll Architectural Shade in Baltimore installed brand new awnings at the front and rear lobby entrances of our Heritage Hall building. We look forward to enjoying time outside in the shade this summer!

Did you know that we have a real, working library at Vinson Hall? Managed by Mary, our long-time librarian, the library is available 24/7 and offers books, DVDs and magazines to borrow, as well as computers and printers for residents to use. A team of dedicated resident volunteers assist with keeping books stocked, shelved and organized – no small task since the collection has more than 10,000 titles! If you love to read, you’ll likely find your next adventure waiting on our shelves!

The Kathy Martin Community Building ballroom was filled with color on May 9 and 10 as Vinson Hall hosted its annual spring Art Show!

This year the annual in-house training session gave staff the chance to complete mandatory trainings as well as have some fun with their favorite Disney characters – Tinkerbell and Minnie Mouse among them!

We had a full house for our Kentucky Derby viewing party on May 2, which was organized by the Vinson Hall Residents’ Association.

Vinson Hall’s annual campaign to support the Alzheimer’s Association continued on April 15 when we held our own walk on campus! More than 40 residents and staff enjoyed a beautiful and unseasonably warm day as they walked the nearly 1-mile loop on our grounds. This walk raised over $600 toward our 2026 goal, and is the second in a series of fundraising events we organize each year to support the Alzheimer’s Association, a cause near and dear to our hearts!

There’s always something fun to do here at Vinson Hall! Many of our residents enjoy working with our on-site trainers in our fitness center, and using our pickleball court, indoor saltwater pool, walking path, and putting green to stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Happy National Fitness Day from Vinson Hall!

On April 10, Vinson Hall celebrated our oldest residents, the 40 members of our community who will turn 95 years or older this year! Chaplain Scott Harrison put the lives of the honorees – 6 of whom will be 100 years or older – in a historical context, sharing facts such as the presidents who were in office during the years they were born, and the average price of gas (10 cents per gallon if you were curious). As is our tradition, our oldest resident received the honor of cutting the cake, which read “3,875 Remarkable Years!” – the total of all of our resident honorees’ ages combined. Happy birthday to all 40 of our extraordinary residents!
