🌿 Discover Your Next Chapter at Siena on Brendenwood 🌿

With the help of their children, Burge and Ella found Siena on Brendenwood, and immediately felt at home. Ella recently shared, “Everyone here is real nice—the staff, the community members, and their families. It is such a friendly place.”
What drew them to Siena on Brendenwood was the ability to maintain independence while having everything they need close at hand. Their private apartment offers comfort and peace of mind, while the welcoming community provides opportunities to stay active and connected. Nearly two and a half years later, they enjoy monthly concerts and can often be found playing games together or with friends in the Alpine Room.

✨ At Siena on Brendenwood, you don’t give up the life you love—you enhance it! ✨

🍹 Happy National Margarita Day! 🍹

Today we’re celebrating a classic favorite that’s been bringing people together for decades. Whether you love it frozen or on the rocks, with salt or without, margaritas are all about fun flavors, good company, and a little zest for life. 🌵✨
Even if you’re skipping the sip, it’s still a great day to enjoy the festive spirit—and maybe a lime twist or two!

Our community members are shooing away the winter blues with a Siena Social just around the corner.
We are deciding what delicious fun or fruity drinks to serve at the party.

Today’s employee spotlight is shining on Colin, whose love for sports runs just as deep as his love for our Siena community.
If Colin isn’t kicking a soccer ball around, he’s probably glued to a football game—cheering passionately (and very seriously) for his beloved Chicago Bears. Ask him about the best game he’s ever seen, and he’ll light up talking about the 2018 Bears vs. Eagles matchup he witnessed live.
His all-time favorite athlete? Lionel Messi, no hesitation.

Off the field, you’ll find him playing darts or spending time with family, both of which he values just as much as the sports he loves. While some dream of being the star athlete, Colin would rather coach the team, guiding others toward their best.

This is exactly one of the greatest strengths we see at Siena with Colin. While he is fairly new to the Siena Team, Colin steps up and steps in wherever he is needed. While learning many skills himself still, he takes time to nurture and teach others, so they too can succeed.

Colin said that he is glad to work at Siena, as he is part of an amazing team! And we are excited to see how you continue to grow with us!
