The heart of Westbrook? Our team 💜

This week, we celebrated our hardworking team members with an Employee Appreciation BBQ—complete with Chef Phil’s famous burgers, sweet treats, and lots of smiles.

It’s the people behind the scenes who bring care, connection, and joy to our residents every single day—and we’re so grateful for each of them.

Ice cream + impact = the sweetest combo 💜🍦

Thanks to DQ & Subway, 20% of proceeds from National Ice Cream Day are heading to the Alzheimer’s Association—just for mentioning Westbrook Senior Living!

Big hugs to everyone who came out, laughed, and enjoyed the treats while supporting the cause 🙌

Our residents were treated to a peaceful day at our housekeeping supervisor’s private ranch, where they enjoyed a relaxing outdoor gathering complete with beverages and a live horse demonstration from Ruby.

Experiences like these deepen community bonds and create joyful, sensory-rich opportunities for connection and engagement. We’re already looking forward to the next visit!

Today we welcomed our local fire department for a morning of gratitude and hands-on learning.
Residents enjoyed coffee, donuts, and an up-close look at fire safety tools—from the truck outside to equipment demonstrations indoors.
Engaging with the people who serve our community fosters connection, lifelong learning, and moments that matter.

She may be small, but Darla made a big impact. 🐰💫

This therapy bunny brought peace, connection, and lighthearted joy to our residents today. Sometimes, all it takes is a furry friend to brighten the day in the most meaningful way.

Because freedom isn’t just a date, it’s a shared promise.
A promise we carry, together, Happy 4th!

✨ B-I-N-G-O has never been this fabulous!

Our Drag Queen Bingo Family Night brought the sparkle, sass, and so much laughter. Residents and families packed the room for a joyful evening filled with delicious treats, big laughs, and unforgettable entertainment from the one and only Sassy—our dazzling bingo caller with flair to spare.

It was a night of love, inclusion, and community spirit. We can’t wait to do it again!

Tiny houses. Big creativity. 🐦🎨

Today’s art class was all about building and decorating adorable little birdhouses—each one totally unique and full of personality. The ladies had a blast designing their own styles, sharing ideas, and spending a joyful afternoon together.

Because the best kind of art? The kind you make with others.

🎨 Introducing: Paint Away Alzheimer’s – Our National Campaign to with Purpose 💜☂️

At Spectrum Retirement Communities, we believe that creativity can spark connection, storytelling, and even change.

Gardening builds more than just vegetables—it builds pride, purpose, and joy.

Today, we planted greenhouse-grown tomatoes out in the garden. Karen couldn’t wait to rehome them and is already planning her first tomato sandwich. Because when residents grow their own food, they grow confidence, too. 🌱

Last week during CNA Week, we were honored with something truly special. 💙🇮🇹

A generous Italian lunch was gifted by a family whose mother had been part of our Westbrook community for nearly 3 years. In her memory, they also donated a beautiful fountain to our Memory Care garden—her favorite place to spend time.

Their kindness was a powerful reminder of the impact compassionate care can have.
To our CNAs: you make moments like this possible.

🎉 Happy Juneteenth!
Today we honor a powerful reminder of freedom delayed but not denied.

As we reflect on this pivotal moment in American history, we celebrate the resilience, courage, rich heritage of African American culture, and contributions of Black Americans, past and present.

Let’s dance to the rhythm of unity and share stories that inspire! ✨ Together, we rise!

It’s the warm welcome at the front desk. The handwritten birthday note. The extra phone call to a concerned family member.

Our administrative professionals are more than the task list—they’re the soul of the community. Today, we honor the ones who bring comfort, connection, and care to every moment. Your presence makes this place feel like home.

When 90-year-old Connie and 1-year-old Levi rolled through the community side by side, we couldn’t help but smile. ❤️ Two generations, two wheels, and one beautiful reminder that mobility is freedom at every age.

Shirley’s latest work is a masterclass in color harmony and subtle gradients. 🎨✨ Using a blend of soft blues and greens, she crafted a composition that evokes both tranquility and movement—proof that simplicity can be just as powerful as complexity. With delicate spray and brush techniques, she transformed an upcycled frame into a striking study of modern minimalism.
Art is ageless, and creativity knows no bounds. Bravo, Shirley!

We can’t get enough of this heartfelt Valentine’s celebration! 🎶❤️ One of our communities took the season of love to the next level with Singing Love-O-Grams! 🎤✨ Dressed to impress in a bold red tux, their Director of Entertainment & Programming, Jim, delivered serenades, roses, and sweet treats to residents and team members. 🌹🍫

Even better? Each Love-O-Gram supported the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, spreading love while making a difference. 💜 Now that’s how you redefine Valentine’s Day!

Crafting up some Valentine’s joy! Our residents got creative with an adorable Valentine’s craft, using pink, red, and white to make something truly special. The best part? They had so much fun that they’re still talking about it today! 💌✨

Nothing beats a little creativity, good company, and plenty of love in the air! ❤️
