What an incredible time we had at our festive Kick Start to July 4th and Summer Party in the Neighborhood! Residents, staff, families, and even the kiddos came together for an afternoon full of laughter, connection, and summer joy.

We indulged in delicious treats, watched Mz. Donna wow us with her balloon artistry, and were amazed by the whimsical creations from Caricature Artist Sue Festa. The party came alive with the music and energy of the one and only Steve Lyon, who had everyone tapping their feet and smiling ear to ear!

The energy was absolutely contagious, and it was so heartwarming to celebrate the spirit of our Neighborhood community alongside our amazing residents and their loved ones.

Today, music, love, and unity were in full force at Wingate Residences at Needham! Residents and staff came together for a vibrant, joy-filled Pride celebration led by Neighborhood Director—aka DJ Jose—who kept the dance floor alive with energy and heart.

All the colors of the rainbow filled the air as we celebrated with delicious treats, trivia, laughter, and plenty of dancing. The spirit of inclusivity and togetherness was felt in every smile, every song, and every shared moment.

We are so lucky to be part of a community that celebrates everyone for who they are. Here's to love, joy, and continuing to make memories—together! 🌈❤️

Happy CNA Week to Our Wingate Residences at Needham Team!

This year’s theme, “We Are the Champions,” couldn’t be more fitting. Our incredible CNAs are the heart of our community—showing up each day with compassion, strength, and dedication that truly makes a difference.

To celebrate their hard work, we kicked off the week with an ice cream sundae bar and beautiful flowers to show just a bit of the appreciation they deserve. And the celebration doesn’t stop there! Next week, we’ll be rolling out the red carpet for a special event in their honor, followed by a delicious Haitian cuisine lunch that’s sure to delight the senses and honor the culture of many on our team.

Thank you to our CNAs—you are the champions, today and every day. ❤️🌺

It was a true honor to participate in the Memorial Day Breakfast at the Center at the Heights - Aging Services this week. Our Neighborhood Director, Jose Soto, led a beautiful and heartfelt program, honoring our veterans and dedicating the morning to those who are no longer with us. The room was filled with patriotism, pride, and reflection, reminding us all of the deep sacrifices made in service to our country.

A special shoutout to Nancy and Jessica, who jumped right in to help distribute a delicious breakfast to community members—because as we know, it truly takes a village.

Thank you to the Center at the Heights for welcoming us into such a meaningful and memorable event. 🇺🇸
