Focusing on well-being is an important part of how Christian Living Communities strives to fulfill our mission to enrich the quality and dignity of life for older adults and team members.

During this month of gratitude, we want to give thanks to the amazing CLC supporters who play a significant role in creating well-being at each of our communities. Learn how caring gifts from CLC supporters made an impact on the well-being of older adults and compassionate team members this year: https://christianlivingcommunities.org/blog/well-being-and-other-blessings-you-made-possible/.

CLC-Ca****la communities honored Veteran residents, spouses, families, and team members with heartfelt ceremonies for Veterans Day last week. Each community, in their own meaningful way, recognized those who have served - with a Veterans Parade, Challenge Coin ceremonies, a performance by the Denver Brass Ensemble, and special luncheons, dinners, and ice cream socials. We extend our deep appreciation to all veterans and families for your courage and sacrifices in service of our country.

It’s the most generous time of year for Coloradans – Colorado Gives Day. Rising costs of living are creating challenges for some older adults and team members who live and work at Christian Living Communities. Your caring gift to the General Mission Fund can help meet these urgent needs as they arise, such as helping a resident whose insurance wouldn’t cover essential wheelchair repairs.

Give today at www.coloradogives.org/organization/clc-co to make a difference for older adults. Your gift will be boosted by qualifying us for a share of the $1 million incentive fund.
