Love was definitely in the air at Benedictine Windermere Way ❤️

We celebrated Valentine’s Day with some very special guests, Calisto and Hal the llamas, along with an adorable puppy kiss booth that had everyone smiling. From sweet snuggles and gentle pets to plenty of laughter and heartwarming moments, our residents soaked up every second of the fun. 🦙💕

There is something truly special about the joy animals bring. The hugs were real, the smiles were big, and the memories were even bigger. What a wonderful way to celebrate the season of love.

Independence doesn’t disappear with age—it evolves. 💙

During National Senior Independence Month, we’re rethinking what independence truly means for older adults. The right support system doesn’t take freedom away—it often restores it by removing daily stress, encouraging connection and supporting wellness.

From maintenance-free living to meaningful life enrichment and faith-based care, senior living can help older adults live fully and confidently at every stage.

👉 Read the blog and explore helpful resources for families navigating senior living decisions:

Because independence isn’t about doing everything alone—it’s about having the support you need to live well.

Moving to senior living doesn’t mean giving up independence. Learn how supportive communities help seniors live safely and purposefully at every stage of life.
