✨ SNEAK PEEK! ✨
The first photos are in from our wonderful photographer, Stacy Wyborny, and we couldn’t wait to share a glimpse of the magic from this year’s Models & Milestones runway event at Paradise Pointe!
What an unforgettable afternoon! With more than 150 guests and standing room only, our community was filled with energy, excitement, and so much love as residents and their families took to the runway. Together, we raised an incredible $2,400 for the Alzheimer's Association — a cause close to so many of our hearts.
Models & Milestones was more than a fashion show and 3-year anniversary celebration. It was a powerful reminder of the beauty of connection, the importance of recognizing our seniors, and the joy that comes from making our residents feel truly seen, celebrated, and special.
At Paradise Pointe, socialization and meaningful engagement are at the heart of everything we do. Events like this highlight how connection supports overall health and wellbeing in assisted living — creating moments that families will treasure for years to come.
