November is National Family Caregiver Month, and at Givens Choice, we’re proud to shine a spotlight on the incredible caregivers who make aging in place possible.

As Geriatric Care Managers, we understand the dedication it takes to care for a loved one. Our mission is to support not only our members but also their families, near and far, because caregiving truly takes a team.

This month, let’s celebrate and appreciate every caregiver for the compassion and hard work that ensures aging with grace and dignity.

When SNAP benefits became uncertain, many residents in our affordable housing communities faced added stress about meeting basic needs.

Thanks to the Resident Assistance Ministry Fund, Givens Philanthropy provided Publix grocery gift cards to help ease this burden. One resident shared:
“I began to tear up when I received the financial support as things have been very stressful with finances. Receiving these grocery gift cards was a huge blessing, especially since the holidays are coming up.”

Together, we reaffirm what makes Givens special: an organization where care is not just a value, but a promise lived out every day.

Autumn is in full swing at Givens Estates, and the falling leaves are being put to good use!

Rather than hauling them away, our Grounds team composts the leaves collected across campus. This natural process enriches the soil, supports healthy landscaping, and helps us care for our environment in a sustainable way.

Every season brings new opportunities to grow greener together!

Thank you to our incredible residents for making us feel so appreciated, and to every team member for the dedication and care you bring every day. Together, we make our community stronger!
