Saturday fun with our Dominoes Club!
Did you know that Dominoes is a brilliant exercise in concentration and memory. In addition to the benefits mentioned above, dominoes exercise memory and teach perceptiveness. It also promotes the development of cognitive functions - the game trains the brain, which has a huge impact on memory development.

Our Bridge to Rediscovery residents were tickled pink to spend the afternoon at The Sweet Spot. They indulged in milkshakes and a charcuterie board of delicious treats, basked in the beautiful atmosphere and enjoyed great company!

We are truly blessed at The Gardens of Virginia Beach with amazing team members. A big thank you to all of them from every department for spending a couple of nights in the community or braving the commute to ensure our residents were well cared for during this winter storm. We are a great place to live and work because of their outstanding service and dedication! A special shout out to Francis Williams for driving our bus around the clock on the treacherous roads to pick up and take home those team members that couldn't get here on their own. We are so grateful for each and every one of you!

Our resident community service group worked tirelessly to help Shelton Park Elementary with their "Cover the school in kindness" program. These ladies wrote many, many post-it notes for the school to display. Thank you Shelton Park Elementary for allowing us to be part of something so wonderful!
