🇺🇸❤️ Honoring Our Veterans: Meet Felipe Hernandez ❤️🇺🇸

As we continue to celebrate Veterans Month here at Hamilton Grove, today we’re proud to recognize Felipe Hernandez, who honorably served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1975–1979 and again from 1981–1985 as a combat engineer. 💪🇺🇸

Felipe loves calling Chicago Trail Village at Hamilton Grove home. He’s built wonderful friendships with fellow residents and enjoys the peace and quiet that allows him to focus on his favorite word puzzles. 🧩✨

When choosing a place to live, Felipe wanted somewhere peaceful — away from the bustle of the cities — and found exactly that on Hamilton Grove’s beautiful 200+ acre property. 🌳🏡

Thank you, Felipe, for your service and for the kindness, humor, and spirit you bring to our community every day! 💚

🇺🇸💙 Honoring Our Veterans: Meet Judy Young 💙🇺🇸

As we continue to celebrate Veterans Month here at Hamilton Grove, today we’re honored to recognize Judy Young, who proudly served in the U.S. Navy from 1961–1963. ⚓️

Judy enjoys spending her days reading, knitting, sewing, and creating beautiful crewel embroidery projects. 🧵📚 She chose to make Hamilton Grove her home because she wanted a safe and secure place where her children wouldn’t have to worry — and she loves the peaceful, scenic surroundings of our campus. 🌿☀️

If you’ve ever heard laughter echoing through the halls at Hamilton Grove, chances are Pat is nearby! For the past 14 years, Pat has called Hamilton Grove home, and in that time she’s brought smiles, jokes, and joy to everyone she meets.

Not only does she love being part of the community, but Pat also volunteers her time by helping the dining staff at The Pointe, making sure tables and seating areas are ready for her fellow residents to enjoy. Her kindness and servant heart shine through in everything she does. 💙

Born in Mishawaka, Indiana, Pat has lived in the area her whole life—just a short drive away from many of her childhood friends. She also has a deep love for animals, pets, and caring for nature, which perfectly reflects her nurturing spirit. 🐾🌿

We are so thankful to have Pat as part of our Hamilton Grove family—her joy, laughter, and generosity make our community even brighter!

Last week, leaders from across all of our Greencroft Communities campuses gathered for our annual Fall Leadership Meeting — a time to connect, learn, and grow together. It was a truly inspiring and insightful event for our leadership teams and for the bright future of our campuses!

Guest speaker Jeremy and our CEO Hugh Davis shared powerful messages about leading with purpose, taking pride in our work, and inspiring those around us every day. Their words reminded us that leadership isn’t just about direction — it’s about heart, service, and community. 💚

Thank you to everyone who made this event such a success — we’re excited to carry this momentum forward as we continue our mission of caring and serving across all Greencroft campuses.
