Before the Easter holiday, our residents had a wonderful time at their monthly Paint Party with Becky and our dear friends from Market Street Methodist Church! 🎨🌷

Creativity was in full bloom as everyone picked up their brushes and brought beautiful seasonal scenes to life.

We are so grateful for Becky and her friends who make these special gatherings possible each month. Our residents always look forward to these paint parties and truly enjoy the time spent creating, socializing, and celebrating the joy of the season together. 🤩

When you call your loved one, are you checking if they took their medicine? Or maybe asking if the door is locked? 💭👵

What if instead, the conversation was about all the fun they had that day - the laughter, the friendships, and the activities they enjoyed?

If you can relate to this, it might be time to learn more about what senior living can do for you.

What a paws-itively wonderful surprise for our sweet resident, Barbara! 🐾 🫶

Barbara recently enjoyed a very special outing to our local Animal Control to meet her all-time favorite animal, a beautiful Dalmatian!

Dalmatians have always held a special place in her heart, so this visit was planned as a complete surprise just for her. The moment she saw that spotted friend, her face lit up with pure joy. 🥹

She loved the Dalmatian so much, and even joked that she wanted to take the dog home with her!

A huge thank you goes out to our wonderful concierge, Jennifer, who connected with Eastern Shore Regional Animal Control Facility and made this heartwarming experience possible with the help of our dedicated Resident Programs team.

It truly takes teamwork to create moments like these, and we are so grateful to be able to bring such happiness to our residents. 🩵

We went all in on 's 2026 Annual Conference! 🎰

We are incredibly proud to shine the spotlight on one of our very own talented residents, Peggy, who has accomplished something truly special. 🧡

Peggy is an author, and she has just completed her fifth and final book—a beautiful reflection of her life’s journey.

This heartfelt story begins at the start of her marriage and takes readers along for the ride through the fun of love, cherished memories, and a lifetime of lessons learned along the way. It is a touching tribute to the experiences that shaped her life! ✍️ 📖

Peggy is so excited to share another piece of her life on paper, and we are just as excited for you to read it.

A sweet treat that always hits the spot! 🍨💫

Our Sweet Memories residents enjoyed a delightful afternoon trip on the town where we stopped for ice cream.

Moments like these remind us how the simple things—good company, a change of scenery, and a delicious dessert—can make such a meaningful difference in our residents’ day here at ! 🤩

In light of the recent KitKat heist of 2026, we can confirm that a suspiciously high number of KitKats have recently gone
"missing" within ! 🍫

After a thorough internal investigation, we've identified several persons of interest
—last seen near the snack cart and afternoon coffee hour.

Our residents have assured us this was not a "heist," but rather a well-deserved break.

The good news:
✅ Spirits are high
✅ Chocolate morale is even higher
✅ No snacks are ever truly safe

We will continue working closely with our residents to... monitor the situation (and maybe share a few bites)

In anticipation of the Easter season, our talented residents had a wonderful time showing off their festive paintings using a fun and unique technique—bubble wrap Easter eggs! 🐰 🐣

We painted the bubble wrap with lots of different colors and carefully transferred the designs onto canvases, creating beautiful textured masterpieces that truly captured the joy of the season.

Laughter was everywhere as we experimented with colors, patterns, and creativity, and the final results were absolutely egg-ceptional! 👏
