Holiday Edgewood Downs is honored to have residents like John and Rod – two proud World War II veterans whose stories remind us of the resilience and sacrifice of their generation.

Rod, a 101-year-old Air Force veteran, served as an aircraft welder, repairing planes. John, a 100-year-old Marine veteran, trained in San Diego and served in Saipan.

Today, these remarkable men call Edgewood Downs home, where their friendship and 200+ years of wisdom continue to inspire us all.

Residents of Holiday Manor at Oakridge took a trip back to Pennsylvania's past, visiting the Fort Hunter Mansion and Park. The beautiful site served as a war fort, a hub for frontier commerce and a private estate.

"It was beautiful weather, and we had a wonderful time," shares Beth, the community's Engage Life Director.

We love seeing residents explore the history in their own backyard.

Did you know October is dedicated to celebrating the accomplishments of Polish Americans in culture, science, art and more?

Our Taste Poland event featured classic Central European flavors, including pierogies with caramelized onions, kielbasa with cucumber salad, potatoes and sauerkraut, and sernik, traditional Polish cheesecake.

We can't wait to see – and taste – the cuisine from our destination next month!

From writing music to combat bullying in schools to clowning around the world, Mo has always found ways to bring people together – and that hasn’t stopped since moving to Holiday Hidden Lakes.

Mo leads twice-monthly music sessions during the community's ice cream socials, sharing her love of guitar, banjo and percussion with neighbors and friends. She also volunteers with her grandson and fellow residents at the local food share, showing that giving back and spreading joy is possible in every season of life.

We’re so grateful to have Mo, a true bringer of joy, as part of our Holiday by Atria family!

Our first Resident of the Week - Barbara B.

Barbara was born in Rhode Island, where she lived until she was 20 years old. She then moved to San Francisco to be a “working girl” which is also where she met her husband. Together, they traveled the world with the U.S. Navy for 25 years. Their favorite visits being Italy and Spain. When Barbara “became single” at the age of 50, she decided to go back to school and studied Oriental Medicine. She was a practitioner of Jin Shin Jyustu for 15 years before she retired to Florida where she began teaching her profession. After another 15 years of the retired life she decided to move back home to Roanoke to be closer with family and soon found herself here, at Elm Park Estates. At 80 years old she thought for sure she’d be our eldest resident, however during her first dining experience with us she quickly realized that was not so. She was greeted by a 99 year old man and his 96 year old wife with grace and friendship. She is now one of our favorite ambassadors aiding in the decorating, planning, and ex*****on of events.

This is the first of many more resident biographies to come. If you have someone you would like to nominate for next week just leave a comment below ❤️
