March 29 is National Vietnam War Veterans Day.

Today, we recognize and honor the service of those who served during the Vietnam War — and the sacrifices they and their families made.

For many veterans, recognition did not always come when they returned home. This day offers an opportunity to pause, acknowledge their commitment, and express gratitude.

We are thankful for the veterans in our community and beyond.

Hearing directly from families matters.

Peggy shared this about her mother’s experience in Independent Living at Friends House – from choosing it herself to enjoying meals together in the dining room.

Proximity to family. A welcoming atmosphere. Engaged neighbors. Clean, well-maintained spaces. A team that feels dependable.

Those details add up.

We’re grateful for the trust families place in us.

Water connects everything — gardens, wildlife, and the spaces we share.

On World Water Day, we’re reminded that stewardship isn’t a single action. It’s a series of thoughtful choices, season after season.

From maintaining our certified wildlife garden to tending green spaces across campus, care for the environment is part of how we live here.

Small actions, lasting impact.

Many people think:

Independent Living = optional.
Assisted Living = when things are bad.

But planning ahead isn’t about reacting to change. It’s about choosing a lifestyle that supports both today and tomorrow.

Independent Living can mean:

• No lawncare
• No snow removal
• No home maintenance
• Built-in community
• Access to higher levels of care if needs change

It’s not about giving something up. It’s about simplifying life now – and feeling confident about what’s ahead.

Planning early protects independence and keeps options open.

Fresh, seasonal, and getting great feedback already 👀

Our Culinary Team introduced this spinach salad with strawberries, sliced almonds, and an Asian vinaigrette at last night’s Community Social – and it didn’t last long. Prep Cook David did the work to bring it all together. This one’s heading into the spring menu rotation.

It’s a good example of how dining here isn’t just about meals – it’s about thoughtful choices that bring people together around the table.
