We had such a fantastic February! Our residents sent Valentines to other communities in the area, received some from across the country (including Alaska and Texas), and celebrated with a resident party thrown by our activities team! We aren't quite ready to compete in the winter Olympics, but we did get physical with our snowball toss activity. We sure do have some athletic residents! We went on outings, played bingo with Kenny the dog, and welcomed new community members. The month ended with a birthday celebration with Bobby Dean. Thank you so much for being such a huge part of our celebrations, Bobby!

In February, we asked our residents a simple question:

What dating advice would you give to younger generations today?

Their answers were practical, sincere, and shaped by decades of real-life experience — and they had a lot to say!

Each month, we share advice from the wisest members of our Spring Oak family: our residents. It’s one small way we continue to elevate their voices and honor the lives they’ve lived.

If someone younger in your life comes to mind while watching, this one might be worth passing along.

In January, we asked residents across our Spring Oak communities a simple question:

What’s the best advice for having a good year?

Their answers were thoughtful, honest, sometimes funny, and full of perspective — and they truly had fun sharing them with us. Each month, we’ll be sharing advice from the wisest members of our Spring Oak family, from across all of our communities.

This is the start of a new series, and we’re excited to continue sharing their voices throughout the year.

When care feels personal, it changes everything.

Our Chief Operating Officer, Frank Evegan, recently shared his personal story and perspective in a conversation that became the most downloaded and listened-to episode of the year for the Senior Living Guide podcast.

The discussion explores what truly makes senior living feel like home — being genuinely known, consistent care, and relationships that matter when families are navigating important decisions.

For many of us at Spring Oak, this work is personal. And it always has been.

If you’re exploring senior living, you’re likely balancing practical questions with something heavier — the responsibility of choosing a place where you or someone you love will live, be cared for, and feel at home.
