During an afternoon of trivia fun, we asked, “Which fast-food chain has the slogan Have it Your Way?” Tom nailed it with Burger King — but when we followed up with, “Burger King or McDonald's?” the unanimous vote was… McDonald's!

So what did we do? We brought the golden arches to our courtyard for a Friday lunch filled with fries, laughs, and sunshine ☀️❤️

Because sometimes, happiness really is a warm cheeseburger and good company. 🍟🍔

Ready… set… CAPTION!

A Slice of Summer Magic, Courtesy of Sandy!

At Danbury Senior Living, we’re lucky to have team members who bring more than their expertise — they bring soul.

Sandy’s homemade elderberry pie, made with berries from her own garden, wasn’t just delicious. It was a beautiful example of the heart she puts into everything she does. Her thoughtfulness, creativity, and care are felt far beyond the kitchen — they’re part of what makes our community so special.

In honor of Culinary Arts Month, we’re celebrating team members like Sandy — and all those who turn meals into moments. From everyday comfort foods to special homemade touches like this one, our culinary team plays an essential role in making Danbury feel like home. Life really is sweeter with a team like this.
