Different generations. Same heart. Turns out the generation gap isn’t as wide as we think. At Edgewood, volunteering has no age limit; it’s simply about showing up, pitching in, and connecting.

“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they have the heart.” — Elizabeth Andrew

This National Volunteer Month, we’re celebrating everyone who brings their heart, humor, and willingness to help. Because, these are the moments where bonds are formed, wisdom is passed down, and joy shows up in the most unexpected ways.

Thank you for helping bridge generations and create a place where everyone belongs.

At Edgewood, volunteering isn’t about age - it’s about heart. Join us this National Volunteer Month and see how giving back can brighten lives.

Ever wonder what a caregiver’s day really looks like?

It’s not just a job. It’s thousands of small moments that matter. Every day looks a little different, but it always centers around each resident, and it doesn’t always end when the shift does.

As we wrap up National Caregiver Appreciation Month, we’re reminded just how much heart goes into each day. At Edgewood, residents have been leading the way in showing that appreciation.

It starts early, moves quickly, and rarely slows down. A caregiver’s day is filled with compassion, patience, and moments that matter. Here’s a...

An assessment isn’t a test, it’s a conversation.
A chance to understand daily routines, preferences, support needs, and life goals in a relaxed, personal way.

It’s about people first, not paperwork. It’s the foundation for care that feels more personal, more thoughtful, and built around the person, not the process, and there’s more to it than meets the eye.

Understanding a senior living assessment doesn’t have to be intimidating—it’s a conversation to help match residents with the right care and support.

Our beautiful granddaughters were able to help feed the lambs last night. What a blessing to share the farm experience with them. Creating memories that they'll tell their grandkids about some day!

Tomorrow! Tomorrow! Tomorrow! Tomorrow!

Lazarus Mary and Martha are going to visit the many grandparents who actually helped on their family farms when they were children. We are taking them to Edgewood Vista nursing home and memory care.

Thinking “maybe next month”… again?

Big decisions have a funny way of circling the calendar. Especially the ones about where and how you or your loved one calls home. Familiar feels safe. Change feels big.

But falls, missed medications, and isolation do not wait for the “perfect” time. Sometimes the best thing you can do for tomorrow is think about it today!

Families often say, “Maybe next month.” But while waiting feels kind, it can quietly add stress and risk. Learn the signs it may be time to plan ahead for senior living—before a crisis forces the move.

After any surgery, recovery can be unpredictable. Even simple daily tasks—like moving around the house, keeping up with appointments, or preparing meals can quickly become overwhelming when you’re on your own, especially during harsh winter weather.

Recovering from surgery can be hard—especially in winter. Read how Duane found support, strength, and community during his short-term stay at...
