As the year comes to a close, Vicinia is feeling especially grateful for this truly one-of-a-kind human 💛✨

Catrina Kraus is the quiet magic behind our everyday moments — the fun shenanigans (and occasional ridiculousness 😄), unforgettable parties, secret anonymous gift-givings, comforting back rubs, warm hugs, and so much more. She’s the one putting out fires before anyone even realizes they’ve started 🔥, always offering a shoulder to cry on or an office that feels safe enough to vent in.

Catrina celebrates every win and personally acknowledges every staff member and resident — never missing a detail, thanks to a memory that rivals an elephant 🐘. She has a remarkable way of turning frowns into smiles 😊, making the tough calls when needed, keeping our team focused and supported, and somehow still finding time to send reminder texts and emails at 3am.

She doesn’t show up each day like it’s just her job — she shows up like this is her favorite place in the world to be ❤️.

A huge shout-out to our Director of Vicinia The Independent, Catrina Kraus. We are beyond lucky to learn from you, work alongside you, and be cared for by you every single day 🌟

As you gather with family and friends this week, pause for a moment and truly observe the seniors you love. ❤️
The holidays are joyful—but they can also quietly reveal when someone may need a little more support.

❄️ Winter in Michigan is beautiful… and challenging.
For many older adults, colder months bring more than snow:
• Increased fall risk from ice and slippery surfaces
• Seasonal depression due to shorter days and less sunlight
• Isolation once holiday visits slow down
• Anxiety around driving, errands, and home maintenance
• Difficulty preparing nutritious meals consistently

The holidays are filled with laughter, visits, and full homes. 🎄✨
But when the decorations come down and the guests leave, many seniors are left in silence. That quiet can feel heavy.

This is often the season when families begin noticing subtle signs:
• Less energy or motivation
• A home that feels harder to manage
• Missed meals or weight changes
• A growing reluctance to go out
• Loneliness that isn’t always spoken aloud

🌿 At Vicinia Gardens of Fenton, winter doesn’t have to feel that way.
We provide lifetime transitional care—Independent Living, Assisted Living, Intermediate Care, and Memory Care—so support is always available as needs change, without the stress of another move.

💙 Here, winter means safety, comfort, and connection:
🚫 No icy sidewalks or driveways — our maintenance team handles all snow and ice removal
🚐 No winter driving worries — warm, valet-style transportation for errands and outings
🍽️ Chef-prepared meals served daily — nourishing, hot, and worry-free

But most importantly… no one is alone.
Residents stay engaged and connected through:
💇‍♀️ On-site salons and self-care
🍸 Steffey’s Pub for conversation and community
🎬 Movie nights with friends
🏋️‍♂️ Fitness programs to maintain strength and balance
🧵 Games, crafts, and activities that fill the days with purpose

This winter, safety is more than a handrail.
Care is more than a checklist.
And home is more than four walls. 🏡💫

🎅 Why did Santa bring a ladder to the bar?
Because he heard the drinks were on the house! 🍹😄

Meet Clayton Stone — better known around here as one of our original “Pub Guys” at Steffey’s Pub in Independent Living. Whether he’s sharing laughs, good stories, or holiday cheer (clearly rocking this Santa suit 🎄), Clayton is always raising the spirit of our community.

Clayton proudly serves as Vicinia’s Resident Council Treasurer — “of no money!” 💰😉
He’s also a U.S. Army Veteran, an avid golfer, and a passionate supporter of the annual Brad Stone Golf Tournament ⛳🇺🇸.

Most of all, Clayton is a devoted family man who still loves his wife and cherishes time with those closest to him. We’re so grateful for the laughter, leadership, and heart he brings to Vicinia every day.

Cheers to Clayton — proof that the best part of the holidays is the people who make us feel right at home ❤️🎄🍻
