The coffee truck has officially rolled into Touchmark, and morale just went up about three espresso shots. ☕

If you notice an unusual amount of enthusiasm, productivity, or coworkers volunteering for things, do not be alarmed, it is just caffeine doing its thing.

While Team USA competes in the 2026 Winter Games, one Touchmark resident is cheering louder than most. At 95 years young, Dorothy is proudly watching her grandson, Olympian Ben Loomis, take on Nordic combined competition from right here at Touchmark on West Prospect. 🇺🇸.

From watching the events with friends in our community spaces to cheering him on from her own room, Dorothy reminds us that support, pride, and joy have no age limit. Go Ben! Go Team USA!

150+ Appleton area high school students part of the Gulfstream Student Leadership Program filled our halls for a behind-the-scenes experience, and we loved it. Their enthusiasm, curiosity, and thoughtful questions brought great energy to our community and made the day especially meaningful for our residents and team.

At Touchmark, students explored career opportunities in healthcare and senior living, learned about our community and culture, and saw how our team makes a difference for residents every day. We loved sharing our community and career opportunities with these future leaders, and we are grateful to everyone who helped make the day such a success.

Subtle changes, new care needs, or lingering concerns can make it hard to know when — or how — to start the conversation about senior living with a loved one.

Touchmark Retirement Counselor Rena Winkler has these conversations every day. She understands the emotions, the uncertainty, and the desire to honor a loved one’s dignity while ensuring they have the support they need.

That’s why we’re grateful WBAY invited her to share guidance on how families can approach these discussions with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
