Touchmark in the West Hills Retirement Community

A bloom that waits for moonlight.

The Queen of the Night—a rare cactus known for its dramatic overnight bloom—made a stunning appearance in the greenhouse at Touchmark in the West Hills this past weekend.

A beautiful reminder that some of life’s most extraordinary moments are fleeting, unexpected, and worth staying up for.

Did you know this flower blooms for just one night?

As Nurses Week 2026 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the incredible impact our nurses have every day.

They bring compassion to every interaction, dignity to every moment of care, and joy to the lives of those they serve.

In senior living, nursing is about more than clinical care—it’s about walking alongside residents and families through life’s journey, building trust, and creating meaningful moments along the way.

To our nurses: thank you for all you do.

And to those considering a career in nursing—there’s a place for you here, where your work is valued, your ideas are heard, and your relationships truly matter.

Today, we celebrate the mothers, grandmothers, and mother-like figures who have shaped our lives in countless ways.

Across Touchmark communities, we’re honored to be surrounded by remarkable women whose stories, wisdom, and love continue to inspire us every day. Many of our residents have spent a lifetime caring for others—raising families, building traditions, and creating legacies that live on through generations.

To all of you who have nurtured, guided, supported, and loved so deeply—thank you. We are truly grateful to have you as part of our extended Touchmark family.

"To the world you are a mother, but to your family you are the world." —Unknown

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Touchmark.

Moms have a way of teaching the lessons that stay with us for life, and this Mother’s Day, residents across Touchmark are sharing the wisdom they’ve carried through the years.

From Touchmark at Georgetown to Touchmark on Saddle Drive, Touchmark in the West Hills, and Touchmark at Harwood Groves, their advice is heartfelt, timeless, and a beautiful reminder of what matters most.

Happy Mother's Day to the mothers, grandmothers, mentors, and caregivers who continue to shape our lives every day.

What makes nursing at Touchmark different?

It’s the relationships.

Our nurses have the opportunity to truly get to know residents: their stories, their families, and what matters most to them. That connection transforms care into something deeply personal and incredibly meaningful.

As one of our nurses shared, “Getting to know those stories … creates a sense of purpose that goes far beyond tasks.”

If you’re looking for a place where you can slow down, build real relationships, and make a lasting impact, Touchmark could be the right fit for your next chapter in nursing.

Stay tuned throughout the week as we continue to celebrate our nurses with stories, photos, and more.
