Today, we pause to remember and honor some very special residents. We take comfort in knowing they are now at peace, resting in God’s loving care. We are grateful for the time we shared, the lessons they taught us, and the love they gave so freely. Sarah, Ron, Arthur, Claude, Lorraine, and Thomas (not pictured), your faith and spirit will always be part of our community.

We Love The Grand Baby Project! Our Memory Care residents enjoy activities with our Grand Babies up to three times per week. It's amazing to see faces light up and hands reach out for these beautiful babies. Even our Assisted Living residents can't resist cuddling the babies! Please contact us if you would like to see this amazing program in action.

Please take a moment to check out The Grand Baby Project and Tonja Moon, The Nation's Leading Expert on Dementia Doll Therapy & Training. Doll therapy is a powerful, non-pharmacological tool used to reduce stress, agitation and anxiety in individuals living with dementia. At The Grand Baby Project, we approach doll therapy not as play, but as a therapeutic activity grounded in empathy, trauma-informed care and dignity.​ Many people living with dementia — particularly in moderate to advanced stages — experience a strong emotional response when introduced to a soft, lifelike doll. For some, it awakens nurturing instincts or memories of parenthood. For others, it simply provides comfort and companionship in moments of confusion or loneliness.

At Phoenix Senior Living, the holidays are about more than decorations and traditions — it’s about people. It’s about residents finding comfort, families finding peace of mind, and associates showing up every day with compassion, patience, and purpose.

To our incredible teams across every community: thank you for creating moments that matter — the extra conversations, the shared laughter, the quiet reassurance, and the care that goes far beyond the job description.

To our residents and families: thank you for trusting us to be part of your journey. We are honored to walk alongside you, especially during seasons that carry so much meaning.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas filled with warmth, gratitude, and moments worth remembering.
