October is National Vision Awareness Month, and we’re honored to spotlight one of our extraordinary Belmont Village Senior Living Fort Lauderdale residents, Dr. Mark, a distinguished ophthalmologist whose career has shaped the field of eye care for more than five decades. 👁️✨

From pursuing medicine at the University of Miami, to completing specialized training at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Dr. Mark’s expertise took him coast to coast—working alongside two of the most renowned ophthalmologists of the 20th century.

After serving as a U.S. Army Captain leading the Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat Clinic at Fort Huachuca, he went on to establish the Fort Lauderdale Eye Institute, which grew into the largest ophthalmology practice in Broward County. His legacy is one of excellence, innovation, and above all—unwavering dedication to his patients. 👨‍⚕️👏

Today, in retirement, Dr. Mark remains connected to the field through a global network of specialists and virtual Grand Rounds, all while enjoying life at Belmont Village Fort Lauderdale with his wife, Beth. 💙

Meet Beverly, aka “Bookmark Bev,” one of our incredible residents at Belmont Village Senior Living St. Matthews, whose passion for reading has inspired thousands. 💌 For more than 20 years, Bev has handcrafted one-of-a-kind bookmarks, sparked by a personal mission that began when her grandson was diagnosed with dyslexia. She even has two of her bookmarks at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C., on permanent exhibit. What began as a local effort in Louisville schools has grown into a global act of kindness, as her bookmarks have now reached children around the world. Just take a look at the photo; the red dots on the map show all the places where Bev’s bookmarks have found a home. 🌍📌 To Bev, reading is more than a skill; it’s a lifelong gift. 🎁📚❤️

September is Fall Prevention Month, and we’re proud to spotlight our partners at Rise by HealthPro Heritage, who work closely with our Belmont Village Senior Living Lincoln Park community. 🤝 One inspiring story comes from Charles, a Belmont Village resident who arrived unable to walk and reliant on others for daily activities. Through his determination and the dedicated support of our therapy team, Charles has regained his independence—now confidently walking with his walker and managing many of his daily activities on his own. 🚶‍♂️💪

At Belmont Village, fall prevention is about more than safety—it’s about helping our residents restore balance, confidence, and the ability to live life to the fullest. ❤️
