A story for you on this Sunday afternoon from the amazing world of Creston Village:

This past week, we celebrated with Maria, one of our amazing servers here at the building - who is expecting her first child, a little boy named Ezra. Once word got out that one of everybody's favorite staff members was having a baby, we could not hold back the ground swell to have a staff and resident combined Baby Shower for them!

As I served as the microphone guy for the group, I smiled at just how many Moms - young and not-so-young were in the room. A quick tally revealed that among the 75 folks in attendance that there were a combined 115 babies that had been reared and raised by the women in the room. So, since we were sitting on a treasure trove of advice for Maria, I decided to open the floor to let her be showered with some time tested parenting advice as well as all sorts of cute gifts. The answers were beautiful and varied. Some funny. Some serious. Some silly.

But, one stood out, and I share it here with permission.

After about 20 minutes of sharing time, a woman who is currently battling some serious newly onsetting memory impairment challenges bravely raised her hand. Deliberatly, sweetly, directly, she said:

"Kids say the cutest things. My advice is to always write them down. Because in the moment, you think you'll remember them forever. But, you won't. You'll forget them."

Now, she didn't mean it in light of her challenges. However, for everybody in the room who knows this woman well, it reverberated like a bolt of lightning. As her disease process is starting to rob her of memories of her children in their youth and even what she did that same day, it was a sound reminder to everybody present.

So, heed her advice - write down those things that matter most to you, because, as she stated: you think you'll remember them forever... but you just won't.

Here's to a lifetime of amazing memories for Maria and her little boy, Ezra.

Reminder, Maria - I get to hold him first when he comes to visit Mom's workplace. (Them's the rules.)

Best,

-Adam Bramwell

Loneliness can sneak up on older adults, and beyond limiting their freedom, it can hurt their health. That’s why one aspect of our Brain Health Initiative is focused on friendship.

Staying connected isn’t just good company — it’s fuel for the brain. In our community, every day offers chances to engage, stay sharp, and feel part of something real. Conversations, activities, and shared moments can help bring back focus, energy, and confidence. Socialization can wake up the brain in powerful ways.

Watch our video to see how life gets brighter when connection comes first.

Feeling lonely is a common struggle among seniors, particularly when facing mobility limitations. At Pegasus Senior Living, we're here to change that. Our co...

A huge thank you to Melanie Basham, Life Enrichment Director at Town Village of Leawood and a certified music therapist, for joining us as a guest speaker during one of our recent Dementia Support Groups.

Melanie shared incredible insights on how music can support residents with dementia—helping reduce anxiety and improve memory. One practical takeaway: try using the melody of a familiar song as a cue for daily tasks like brushing teeth or mealtimes.

Our Dementia Support Groups, held every two months, are all about equipping families with tools and ideas that make a real difference.

Three weeks ago, our fearless and fiery-red-headed Community Sales Director, Crystal Lawrence, loaded up her belongings and migrated to the Lone Star State with her family.

Even though the hip kids would call this a "Latergram" (as opposed to an Instagram) - I wanted to share the attached photo and publicly thank her for all of her many contributions to our building. Better late than never!

For many of our current residents, Crystal was the first person that they met or spoke with after reaching out for a tour or for more information. They say that the best metric of success in a job is whether you left it better than you found it or not. She did that in spades, as shown by the fact that we are currently on a waiting list for move-ins; she left us with not a single apartment to rent. And, she put up with that do**us (me) in the purple sweatshirt crowding her on all of her tours to boot!

So - a public thank you and deep well-wishes as she begins a new chapter of her career with a sister Pegasus community in the bustling town of Forney, Texas.

Is it just me, or is social media a pretty dark place nowadays?

If you too are feeling that way, let me give you a little relief and a fun story on this Saturday morning.

Last Friday, our team took our Connections residents (that's what we call memory care) out for a scenic drive among the hills of Paso Robles. While out in our branded van, a local rancher saw them drive by and called our main phone line back at the building. He let the front desk concierge know that he had a fresh batch of kids (the goat kind, not the human kind) and invited us back to meet them. Front desk calls Sharon, our activities assistant, who told driver John to make a u-turn then the adorable scene below ensued which Sharon captured.

So - here's a gentle reminder to pause this Saturday, put down your phone, turn off the news and do something that makes you happy deep in your bones. Granted, whatever you end up doing probably won't make Pam as happy as she was when she got to kiss this cute little fella here.

All the best stuff,

-Adam Bramwell
Executive Director

A little known secret of Paso Robles is that the one and only Elvis Presley is not only alive and well - but safely housed here right here at Creston Village!

Once a year, he descends and performs a private Valentine's Day concert here for the residents and visitors alike. And, as in years past, all are amazed by his relative youthfulness, loose lyrical knowledge and oh-so-real sideburns.

This year, he treated the residents to a rousing 13 song set, including the live debut of a brand new smash hit - "Viva Creston Village" as well as all the hits.

Seen here after the show with one of his adoring fans - and while 50,000,000 Elvis fans can't be wrong - surely, 93 Creston Villagers weren't wrong either. Said one reviewer: "Visually pleasant, rhythmic, lively - elicited happy times."

Suspiciously absent from the concert,
