We wanted to share some exciting news from our partnership with VCOM and recognize the incredible work of our team.

Over the past few years, our Fitness Director, Kenny Harrah, has worked closely with two VCOM students who volunteered with us through multiple classes and even attended our Nonagenarian Party. As part of their research, the students distributed surveys to our fitness members and received 77 responses — far exceeding the 40–50 needed for statistical analysis.

After analyzing the results, their research showed that our fitness classes positively impact both the health and quality of life of our participants.

The students recently presented their findings at VCOM, and Kenny shared that both the students and their professor were incredibly enthusiastic about the project. The praise for Warm Hearth Village was evident and reflects the meaningful work happening within our fitness program.

We are proud to see how our team’s efforts not only benefit our residents and fitness members, but also contribute to the education and growth of future healthcare professionals.

We’re honored to be named one of the Top 25 Senior Living Communities in North America as a 2025 ICAA NuStep Beacon Award Winner 🏆

This prestigious recognition celebrates communities that make wellness a core part of everyday life—and at Warm Hearth Village, wellness is woven into everything we do.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible residents, families, staff, and community who make this possible. We’re proud to serve with purpose, joy, and care 💙

🧠🥊 Finding Strength, Support & Joy — Together

This month’s Rock Steady Support Group was truly special. Our very own Harold Kurstedt, a resident, experienced author, and proud Rock Steady Boxer, shared his personal journey with Parkinson’s in a heartfelt and inspiring presentation.

Harold also introduced a powerful resource he wrote, a book titled “My Life with Parkinson’s” — which offers awareness and a hopeful, practical outlook on living with Parkinson’s. Everyone in attendance received a copy, and the room was filled with encouragement, shared experience, and deep connection.

One quote Harold shared during his talk really stuck with us:

“If it’s not fun, don’t do it. Do you know how fun Rock Steady is? Find the fun and focus on it. You get what you focus on. Every challenge has pros and cons — if you focus on the pros, you’ll experience the pros. So, guess what happens when you choose the cons?...... I choose to focus on the pros.”

That mindset captures the very heart of Rock Steady Boxing — a program that empowers people with Parkinson’s to stay strong, stay positive, and stay connected through movement and community.

We’re so grateful to Harold for his insight, leadership, and example — and proud to support programs and people that bring energy, purpose, and optimism to life every day.

PB&G Was a Hit!

On Tuesday, August 5, we had a fantastic turnout for our PB&G (Posture, Balance & Gait) class! A big thank you to the research team from VCOM for joining us to observe and support our ongoing focus on balance and mobility. 💪🧠👣

Our residents brought amazing energy and showed just how powerful movement can be at any stage of life. Everyone even proudly announced their age — we had one 66-year-old, a few in their 70s, many in their 80s, and three participants in their 90s — with the oldest being 94! What an incredible testament to the strength and spirit of our community.

Classes like these are key to staying active, confident, and independent!

Special thanks to our incredible Fitness Director, Kenny Harrah, whose leadership, passion, and commitment continue to elevate every session. His dedication to wellness inspires our entire community! 🎉👏

True fitness goes beyond the physical — it’s about transforming lives from the inside out!

🎉 Big dreams, strong bodies, and even stronger futures!

We're excited to share that Marcus Burks, one of our dedicated fitness team members, has been awarded a Warm Hearth scholarship to further his education in fitness management! 💪📚

Marcus is one of 15 amazing Warm Hearth employees who received a total of $28,000 in scholarship funds, thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors. His commitment to wellness, growth, and our community makes him a standout, and we’re so proud to see him taking this next step in his fitness career.

At Warm Hearth, we believe in supporting our team members both in and out of the gym — because when they grow, we all grow together. 💙

👏 Join us in congratulating Marcus on this well-deserved opportunity! We can't wait to see how he continues to inspire and impact lives through health and fitness.

Big Congratulations Are in Order!

We’re thrilled to celebrate two very special members of our village who have achieved major milestones!

First up is our very own WHV Fitness Assistant, Ashleigh!

Ashleigh Boquist (shown in the middle of the first picture) graduated with her BS in Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise (HNFE) from VPI! Since joining WHV in June 2024, she has earned both her CNA and personal trainer cerifications. We’re incredibly lucky that Ashleigh is staying in Blacksburg and continuing her work with us. She’ll also be teaching fitness classes and is currently accepting new personal training clients. We couldn’t be prouder of everything Ashleigh has accomplished in such a short time—and we know this is just the beginning!

Next, we’re cheering for Radford University graduate, Emily!

Emily Wirght (pictured in second photo) joined us as an academic intern in January 2025 and made an immediate impact. Always eager to learn and lend a hand, she balanced her internship with a job at Kroger while maintaining academic excellence. Recently, Emily graduated with honors and has accepted a position at The Jackson Clinic in Herndon, VA as an Exercise Specialist. Emily, we are so proud of you! The clients you’ll be working with are in very good hands. You will be missed!

Let’s give both of these amazing women a big round of applause and wish them all the best on their next adventure!
