Garry's wife Marcia lives with dementia. When she moved to Villa at Terracina Grand, he watched her form meaningful connections and find a sense of calm he hadn't seen in years. The community's design allows residents to move freely and make choices about their day. For Garry, seeing Marcia so comfortable and content meant everything.

When Marcia moved to memory care, her husband Garry watched her find friendship, freedom and peace in a community designed to support her needs.

We honored Veterans Day with a beautiful pinning ceremony at Ridges at Peoria Senior Living at Garden Ridge, Arbor Ridge and Senita Ridge. The event was hosted by our life enrichment teams in partnership with Agave Hospice and Palliative Care. A color guard presented the ceremony, pinning each of our veterans and giving them a certificate in recognition of their service. Our favorite entertainer, Randolph, filled the room with his beautiful voice and made the afternoon even more special.

We are deeply grateful for the veterans who call our community home, as well as the family members of residents who have served. It was a meaningful day of remembrance, recognition and gratitude. Thank you to all who joined us in honoring the brave men and women who have defended our freedom. 🇺🇸✨
