We loved attending the Celebrity Memorabilia Exhibit, featuring the personal collection of Dr. G, one of our geriatric psychiatrists. Seeing iconic pieces both up close and on screen was a real treat, and the pop culture movie trivia kept everyone laughing and fully entertained.

Thank you for giving us a touch of Hollywood glam, a wave of nostalgia, and the generous sharing of beloved treasured pieces.

We gathered together to celebrate Hanukkah by lighting candles, sharing stories, and enjoying being in community.

Moments like these remind us that Hanukkah is about light and the warmth we create when we come together. Chag Sameach to all who celebrated with us.

In a time when the world can feel heavy, moments of light matter more than ever.

Our residents and staff came together for a friendly latke cook-off filled with laughter and the irresistible smell of sizzling potatoes. Residents, team members, and friends shared stories and recipes (with onion and without) and showed pride in their creations.

Hanukkah reminds us that even in dark times, light endures. As we light the first candle tonight, our hearts are with Jewish communities everywhere.

This weekend, more than 30 volunteers and staff at SFCJL took part in Conscious Touch Teams training, a program that uses gentle, intentional touch to foster comfort and connection for individuals in long-term support or nearing end of life.

“It was an eye-opening training,” said Catherine Reid, Director of Quality of Life/LCSW. “It really honed the value of being present with residents.”

We’re grateful to all who joined us.

On this Veterans Day, we came together as a community to honor the brave men and women who have served our country.

A heartfelt thank you to Lovin’ Harmony for filling our campus with joy and nostalgia through their beautiful renditions of 1920s–1960s jazz and pop classics. Their close harmonies reminded us that music, like service, has the power to bring people together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebration of our veterans.
