Our Director of Independent Living at The Parke took the leap today as he closed a big chapter in his life, retiring from STLC/The Parke after 15 amazing years (5 in the maintenance dept at STLC and 10 managing our independent living apartments). We congratulate Glen Wriston on this next chapter as he hopefully gets the chance to slow down a little and relax a lot because he sure has earned it! We have been honored to work with Glen and send him all our love and well wishes ❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉

Senior Games, Sewing & Sorting: We don't know about you... but we are so grateful we survived what seems like the LONGEST February in history! We are definitely ready for a peek of Spring 🌼

We've kept ourselves busy by signing up for the Greater Gaston Senior Games, finishing up some sewing projects and have now moved onto collecting individually wrapped candies so we can stuff a gazillion Easter eggs. Please join us in the crusade for more candy AND if you'd like to help stuff eggs, get in touch!

“Laissez les bons temps rouler” Happy Mardi Gras! It was a festive party today in our 400 neighborhood with a fun photo shoot and a healthy serving of King cake. Our Director of Activity programming was lucky enough to find the baby in her piece which means good luck all year for 2026!

We sure do feel loved 💜 Many thanks to those of you who partnered with the Activities Crew this week to show our seniors lots of love. From the after dinner ice cream social to delivering handmade Valentine's with flowers to calling a special Valentine's themed bingo, and posing for silly photos...we feel loved by our community. Thank you for loving us so

Mrs. Evelyn Rodden was an amazing woman, nurse, teacher, and friend. There are so many of us at STLC who can attribute a lot of what we learned directly to her. While she will be missed dearly, she is now in her Heavenly home with her beloved Frank and we will all meet up again one day soon ❤️❤️❤️
