Happy Earth Day! 🌎💚

Today, we’re celebrating the beauty of nature and the incredible dedication of our residents—especially our amazing Resident Master Gardeners! Their hard work and passion continue to bring life, color, and purpose to our community.

From tending to our thriving vegetable garden to nurturing vibrant flower beds, their green thumbs are always at work. And the excitement doesn’t stop there—we’re also preparing for something truly special: our upcoming Butterfly Garden 🦋—a peaceful, pollinator-friendly space for all to enjoy.

These gardens are more than just beautiful spaces—they reflect teamwork, growth, and the joy that comes from caring for the world around us.

To learn more about our award-winning SPARK Program, our Garden Club, and the many ways our residents thrive through purposeful and meaningful social roles—or to schedule your next tour—please call (520) 393-0077. We’d love to hear from you!

Happy Earth Day from all of us! 🌱

Yesterday’s Food Demo was chef’s kiss 👨‍🍳💋 thanks to our very own Senior Lifestyle Director, Johanna… or as we now call her, “Chef Johanna.”
She whipped up not one, not two, but THREE cheesecake variations—including her unforgettable signature: “Hold On to Your Briefs Brownie Cheesecake.” (Yes, it’s as good as it sounds… maybe even better 😄)
Our residents jumped right in—taking turns, asking questions, and of course, sampling along the way. The grand finale? Enjoying their creations during Happy Hour and Bingo… because nothing pairs better with a fun-filled day than cheesecake and a little friendly competition! Safe to say… we’re still thinking about that cheesecake!

📣We like to thank our wonderful friend, Ms. Cathy for all her support and additional baked goods for our Happy Hour, and Susie from Aria Hospice and Comfort Care for the best Bingo prizes this week!

Want to join the fun? Join us every Friday, as our Cooking Club learns or masters a new recipe, followed by our all time favorite…Happy Hour & Bingo, where friends and families come together and join the fun! For more information call 📞 (520)393-0077. See you soon!

Yesterday was a truly special day as we celebrated the Grand Opening of our beautiful Harmony Garden. 🌸

The ceremony began with a heartfelt prayer from Kevin, our Harmony Hospice Chaplain, followed by our Resident Spiritual Leader, Tom, who shared the Daily Word and offered blessings for everyone involved. Their words set a meaningful and peaceful tone for the morning.

With soft, beautiful ballads playing in the background, guests enjoyed a lovely atmosphere inspired by our spring cherry blossom theme. From refreshing snow cones and coffee to delicious donuts and treats, there was something for everyone to enjoy. Surrounded by great company—and even a few birds stopping by to sing—it felt like the perfect way to welcome this new space.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Nate, Kevin, and Jason for their incredible support. Because of their contributions, we are proud to say that Harmony Garden is now open and ready for everyone to enjoy. 💕🌿

Yesterday’s Garden Committee Meeting was a beautiful reminder of how far we’ve come and all the exciting things ahead! We gathered under incredible weather—sunny skies and a perfect high of 81°—to talk about upcoming plans, including the addition of a Butterfly Garden and more seating areas for everyone to relax and enjoy.

As we soaked up the sunshine, the sound of birds filled the courtyards, clearly just as happy as we are with all the flowers and thoughtful changes we’ve made. With everything coming together so nicely, our gardens are looking more vibrant than ever—just in time for Mother’s Day! 🌸🦋

📣We like to give our wonderful Garden Committee Leader, Tom, a special shoutout for keeping all 3 courtyards clean, for everyone to enjoy, and helping the ladies with their Vegetable Garden which is growing beautifully.
