🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heroes at Countryside Living 🇺🇸

Today, we proudly celebrated Veterans Day with a heartfelt program honoring the 16 resident veterans who call Countryside Living home. From a Navy veteran who served in both WWII and Vietnam, to the dedicated National Guard members who protected and supported us here at home, each one carries a story of courage, service, and sacrifice.

We were honored to present each veteran with a challenge coin as a symbol of our gratitude and respect.

A special thank-you to Tina Henderson for sharing her gifts with us and playing beautiful patriotic music. Hearing our residents sing along together made the day even more meaningful. 🎶❤️

To all our veterans—here at Countryside Living and across the country—thank you for your service.
