We hosted our very own Chico’s Fashion Show, featuring our incredible resident models and escorts as they showed off the latest colors of the season ✨👗

From bold hues to fresh spring styles, the runway was full of confidence, personality, and plenty of smiles. Jane was rocking her raincoat, Jalaine brought the energy with her fun dance moves 💃, and Diane had a show-stopping dress—WITH pockets!

It was a wonderful opportunity to come together, celebrate style, and cheer on our amazing participants.

A truly fun, fashionable, and memorable event for all! 💐👏

We were all full of smiles, laughter, and creativity during our recent Cooking Class with Executive Chef Gordon 👩‍🍳✨

We were joined by our children, grandchildren, and friends for a fun, hands-on experience making homemade granola bars. Each of us had our own station, complete with an apron, a recipe, and a variety of ingredients like oats, rice puffs, cranberries, chocolate chips, raisins, and sun-butter.

Using zip-lock bags as mixing bowls (a fun and mess-free twist!), we all helped bring our sweet creations to life. The best part? Each of us left with our own heart-shaped granola bars, thoughtfully packaged to take home 💗

This special event was a fantastic collaboration between our Culinary and Lifestyle teams and one we’re already hoping to enjoy again soon. Safe to say, Executive Chef Gordon’s cooking class was a hit! 👏

We are so grateful for all that she does each and every day. Thank you, Juli, for 20 amazing years, and we can’t wait for the next 20! 💛

Judy and Lowell came to Beacon Hill for security and peace of mind—not knowing how important it would become.

After Lowell experienced a major health challenge, Beacon Hill’s Life Care model allowed him to receive the care he needed without leaving the community, so the couple could remain together.
