💙 Pump It for Parkinson’s! 💙

We’re getting moving for a meaningful cause here in our community! Our residents and team members came together for Pump It for Parkinson’s, a high-energy event focused on strength, movement, and support for those affected by Parkinson’s disease.

From upbeat music to guided exercises, the room was filled with determination, laughter, and encouragement. 💪 Every movement matters—and together, we’re raising awareness while promoting the power of fitness at every age.

A big thank you to everyone who participated, cheered us on, and helped make this event so special!

🍀 🍷 A Lucky Night at Wine Club!

Our residents enjoyed a festive evening at this month’s St. Patrick’s Day-themed Wine Club, filled with great wine and delicious bites.

It was the perfect way to celebrate the season—raising a glass with friends and enjoying a little bit of luck of the Irish together!

♟️ Checkmate & Connections!

We recently had the pleasure of welcoming the Kings & Pawns children’s group to our community for a special intergenerational visit. Residents and students spent time together playing chess, sharing stories, and enjoying plenty of laughter along the way.

Our residents loved the friendly competition and the chance to connect with these bright young minds. The students brought great energy, curiosity, and kindness to the day, making it a meaningful experience for everyone involved.

Moments like these remind us how powerful it can be when generations come together to learn more from one another. We’re already looking forward to their next visit! ♟️ ❤️

Sweet Success! 🍫 ❤️

Our Annual Candy Gram sale was an incredible success! Thanks to the generosity and participation of our wonderful residents, team members, and families, we were able to share hundreds of sweet treats—along with even sweeter messages—throughout the community.

Thanks to your ‘sweet’ support, our Candy Gram sale raised $2,205 for The Chesapeake Employee Crisis Fund. 🎉

Thank you to all everyone who purchased, helped assemble, and delivered the Candy Grams. Your support made this event not only successful, but meaningful. 💕

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His words and example continue to call us toward unity, dignity, and compassion.

On this day of reflection, we pause to consider how we can live out those values in our daily lives and in community with one another.

We were delighted to volunteer this month at Riverside Elementary School and this time we brought along a resident who was a former principal at Riverside Elementary. So many wonderful stories and memories were shared on this volunteer outing. 📚 ✏️

Mrs. Hancock, a former principal of Riverside Elementary, member of the Riverside Community, and longtime supporter of our students and staff, visited, volunteered, and spread smiles through our halls today.

🎶 We can’t help falling in love…with Elvis🎶

🎉 Today, we celebrated the birthday of the one and only King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Elvis Presley.

🎸 Residents enjoyed watching an Elvis documentary while sipping peanut butter banana smoothies. Some residents even decorated their doors in Elvis’s honor. How fun!
