This month, we are delighted to shine our Resident Spotlight on Gail, a warm and accomplished woman whose life has been filled with family, dedication, and wonderful memories. 🌟

Gail spent her early years growing up in Ohio before life eventually brought her to Tampa, Florida, where she was married. When reflecting on her family, Gail fondly shares that she grew up with her mother, father, and brother, and says with a smile that all of her family memories were wonderful — a beautiful testament to a life rich in love and connection.

Professionally, Gail devoted her career to one of the most meaningful callings: teaching. When asked what she loved most about her work, her answer came quickly and simply: the kids. Her passion for education and nurturing young minds clearly left a lasting impression, and it is no surprise that Gail was honored as Teacher of the Year not once, but twice — an achievement she is rightfully proud of.

Outside of work, Gail has always had a love for creativity and the simple pleasures of life. She once greatly enjoyed sewing, a hobby that allowed her talents and creativity to shine. Gail also has a wonderful appreciation for music, sharing that she enjoys all kinds — except hard rock. Her favorite movie is the beloved classic Pretty Woman, which she says she has watched more than 100 times. And if she could escape to anywhere, it would be the beautiful islands of Hawaii, a destination she holds close to her heart.

We are so grateful to have Gail as part of our community and love learning more about the remarkable experiences that make her who she is. Her warmth, wisdom, and dedication to others continue to inspire those around her. 💙

🚀 Resident Spotlight: Meet DeDe 🚀

DeDe's career is truly out of this world! In 1978, she began working as a Technical Writer at Kennedy Space Center, where she contributed to critical space shuttle operations, including a special project supporting Air Force launches.

Her exceptional work earned her one of NASA's highest honors, the prestigious Silver Snoopy Award, presented by astronaut Kathryn D. Sullivan and awarded to only 1% of the NASA workforce. 🌟

Over her 21+ year career, DeDe grew into a Software Testing Project Manager, helping ensure the success of shuttle missions while leading teams and collaborating with engineers and NASA professionals. Along the way, she witnessed historic moments, including shuttle launches, interactions with astronauts, and even sitting in the pilot's seat of the Space Shuttle Columbia.

DeDe describes her time at NASA as the best of her career, challenging, exciting, and incredibly rewarding. We are so proud to have such an inspiring trailblazer as part of our community! 💙

Independent living isn't about giving things up. It's about bundling what you already pay for into one streamlined monthly cost, and adding things that might be missing, like built-in social connection, maintenance-free living, and the freedom to fill your days with what actually matters to you.

Our latest blog breaks down exactly what's included, what typically costs extra, and how the numbers compare to staying home.

What an incredible day at Arbor Terrace! Residents, families, staff, and even FOX 13 News joined us for our campus wide Art Walk. The event showcased the many artistic talents of our residents and team members throughout our community. From fabric art to acrylic paintings and photographs, everyone had a moment to shine. One resident in particular caught the attention of FOX 13 News. She began painting after moving in and taking art classes, and has continued to do so daily. As she puts it, "...it's like living on a cruise ship here!" 🎨✨
