Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. King reminded us that kindness, compassion, and service to others have the power to create lasting change. At Wardwell, we strive to carry these values forward each day by fostering a community rooted in dignity, respect, and inclusion for every resident, family member, and team member.

On this day of reflection and remembrance, we are grateful for the opportunity to serve, to listen, and to care for one another with empathy and purpose. May we continue to lead with love, understanding, and unity in all that we do.

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

What a wonderfully warm and wintery week it has been here at Wardwell! Our days were filled with learning, laughter, lively outings, and a little extra holiday sparkle. 🌟

Travis Dixon stopped by for his monthly Health Topic, giving us plenty of helpful insights to keep us feeling our best through the season. Later in the week, Magdalana returned with her signature pizazz for a special discussion that sparked curiosity and conversation throughout the community. 💬✨

We then whisked ourselves into the spirit of the season with a cheerful Christmas shopping adventure to Walmart, checking off wish lists and sharing lots of laughs along the way. The fun continued with a delicious luncheon at Applebee’s, where good food and great company made for a delightful afternoon. 🍎🥗

Of course, it wouldn’t feel like the holidays without a bit of nostalgia.

Today we’re celebrating our beloved furry friends, who enjoyed their scrumptious Wardwell Woofers right at home with their favorite humans! 🐾💛 These tasty treats were lovingly baked by our residents last Friday, and our staff pets were over the moon for them. 🐶🍪
