🌟 March Hometown Hero: Ivy 🌟

This month, we’re proud to recognize Ivy as our Hometown Hero!

For the past 5 years, Ivy has served as our Plant Operations Coordinator, playing a vital role in keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. From managing work orders and scheduling contractors to dispatching and overseeing our maintenance crew, she does it all with dedication and care.

When the Village needed someone to step into this important role, Ivy didn’t just fill the position, she became the heart of the department. Today, she’s known throughout the Village as the go-to person when something needs fixed, repaired, or figured out.

Her reliability, leadership, and commitment make a difference every single day. We’re incredibly grateful for all she does!

👏 Thank you, Ivy, for being such an essential part of our community!

✨Celebrating 50 Years of Westminster Village✨

As we celebrate 50 years of Westminster Village, we take pride in reflecting on the vision, faith, and determination that laid the foundation for our community.
In the late 1960s, there was a growing awareness of the need for high-quality housing and supportive services for older adults. Leaders within the Presbyterian Church felt called to respond. In 1969, Rev. William Williams of Greenwood, Indiana helped establish the Presbyterian Housing Program, Inc., a nonprofit organization created to develop communities where seniors could live with dignity, independence, and a strong sense of belonging.
What began as a bold idea quickly turned into meaningful action. Through strong leadership, collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to service, several retirement communities were developed throughout Indiana—including Westminster Village in West Lafayette. These early efforts were rooted in compassion and guided by a belief that aging should be filled with purpose, connection, and opportunity.
The story of Westminster Village is also one of dedicated individuals who believed deeply in its mission. Their passion and perseverance ensured that the community not only came to life, but continued to grow and evolve to meet the changing needs of residents. Their work created a lasting impact that can still be felt across our campus today.
While the original organization that helped bring Westminster Village into existence eventually concluded its work, the vision it inspired continues to thrive. Over the past five decades, Westminster Village has remained committed to providing exceptional care, fostering meaningful relationships, and creating a vibrant environment for those we serve.
As we honor our past, we also look forward with gratitude and excitement. The same spirit that guided our founders continues to shape our future.
Here’s to 50 years of legacy, community, and purpose—and to many more years ahead.

We are incredibly grateful for a truly meaningful donation that is already changing lives in our art studios. 💙

Thanks to the generosity of a resident’s family, we now have a Da Vinci magnifying machine available in Meraki studio. This remarkable tool is helping remove one of the biggest barriers many artists face: limited eyesight.

One of our residents, Etti, has long shown incredible determination in her creative journey despite vision challenges. With her blessing, we’re excited to share that she was amazed by the difference this machine made, allowing her to see fine details and colors in a way she hasn’t been able to before. Her excitement says it all!

At our studios, we are deeply committed to making art accessible to everyone. Whether working with clay, glass, painting, or drawing, we continuously seek ways to adapt and support each individual’s needs. From specialized tools like this magnifier to a diverse group of dedicated instructors and visiting artists, everything we do is centered on empowering creativity, no matter someone’s skill level or limitations.

This donation is more than just equipment. It is an opportunity, a breakthrough, and a reminder of how powerful generosity can be.

Thank you to those who make moments like this possible. ✨

Exercise helps protect our body and organs from many diseases - even unexpected ones!

Statistics show that 1 in 3 people are at risk for kidney disease, with 30 million Americans already having it. Our kidneys play three crucial roles in our body; they regulate water and minerals, remove waste, and produce hormones. They are located on both sides of your lower back and filter 200 liters of blood per day. To protect your kidneys, it's important to control your blood pressure, exercise often, limit processed foods, and reduce over-the-counter medicines. Kidney disease is progressive and can put you at a higher risk for other health conditions.

✨Celebrating 50 years of Westminster Village✨

Fifty years ago, the very first residents of Westminster Village began a story that continues to grow today.

One of those pioneers was Florence Scipio, an extraordinary woman recognized in 1938 by Country Gentleman magazine as one of the five most outstanding rural women in the United States. Her accomplishments also earned her recognition in Who’s Who in America and Who’s Who of Intellectuals by Cambridge, England.

Shortly after moving into Westminster Village in 1976, Florence wrote a poem capturing the spirit of the community’s very first residents. Her words reflected the excitement, the hope, and the belief that Westminster Village would become something truly special.

Fifty years later, her words still reflect what makes Westminster Village unique. It is a vibrant community built on connection, purpose, and a vision for exceptional senior living.

As we celebrate our 50th Anniversary, we honor residents like Florence who helped shape Westminster Village into the thriving community it is today.

A little St. Patrick’s Day tradition made today extra special at Westminster Village! 🍀🥤

Residents in The Cypress enjoyed a festive treat when Caiti shared a family tradition of drinking Green River soda on St. Patrick’s Day. This bright green, lime flavored soda was first created in Chicago in 1919 and quickly became a Midwest favorite tied to holiday celebrations.

For Caiti, Green River brings back special memories of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with her family each year. Today she passed that tradition along to our residents, who loved the fun, the history, and of course the taste!

Thank you, Caiti, for sharing your tradition and helping create another meaningful moment for our Cypress residents. Moments like these are what make life at Westminster Village so special. 💚
