was thrilled to welcome Paula, our VP of Resident Programs & Memory Care for a special ! 🀩

As part of her bucket list, Paula shared her upcoming adventure to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. It's a perfect connection to our 2026 theme.

Everyone was inspired as she described her preparation and even learned a Swahili phrase to cheer her on - "Pole, pole, Paula," which means "Slowly, slowly, Paula." β›°οΈπŸ“

The best part? Getting to sign the flag that she will carry with her to the summit! ✨

Flowers and rabbits, oh my! πŸ‡πŸͺ΄

These ladies had a wonderful time crafting adorable tin can rabbits for their florals.

Bright colors, blooming bulbs, and lots of laughter made each creation uniquely cheerful as the person who made it. A fun and festive way to hop into the week! 🀩

Before the Easter holiday, our residents had a wonderful time at their monthly Paint Party with Becky and our dear friends from Market Street Methodist Church! 🎨🌷

Creativity was in full bloom as everyone picked up their brushes and brought beautiful seasonal scenes to life.

We are so grateful for Becky and her friends who make these special gatherings possible each month. Our residents always look forward to these paint parties and truly enjoy the time spent creating, socializing, and celebrating the joy of the season together. 🀩

When you call your loved one, are you checking if they took their medicine? Or maybe asking if the door is locked? πŸ’­πŸ‘΅

What if instead, the conversation was about all the fun they had that day - the laughter, the friendships, and the activities they enjoyed?

If you can relate to this, it might be time to learn more about what senior living can do for you.

What a paws-itively wonderful surprise for our sweet resident, Barbara! 🐾 🫢

Barbara recently enjoyed a very special outing to our local Animal Control to meet her all-time favorite animal, a beautiful Dalmatian!

Dalmatians have always held a special place in her heart, so this visit was planned as a complete surprise just for her. The moment she saw that spotted friend, her face lit up with pure joy. πŸ₯Ή

She loved the Dalmatian so much, and even joked that she wanted to take the dog home with her!

A huge thank you goes out to our wonderful concierge, Jennifer, who connected with Eastern Shore Regional Animal Control Facility and made this heartwarming experience possible with the help of our dedicated Resident Programs team.

It truly takes teamwork to create moments like these, and we are so grateful to be able to bring such happiness to our residents. 🩡
