In 1948, at the request of Archbishop Edward Mooney, the Dominican Sisters of Oxford began caring for the elderly in their previous motherhouse nestled along the shores of Scott Lake – a stunning location reflecting the beauty of God’s creation. Today, more than 60 years later, Lourdes Senior Community, a non-profit, continuing care retirement community, has grown into a neighborhood of 250 seniors living in four distinct residences. Fox Manor offers independent living, Mendelson Home provides assisted living, Clausen Manor cares for those living with dementia and Lourdes Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center offers long-term care and a rehabilitation center. Lourdes Senior Community has a long history of quality healthcare services and programs. In 2013, the Lourdes Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center was named one of the nation’s best by U.S. News & World Report magazine, and the overall community was selected Best of the Best for senior living for the sixth year in a row by readers of the Oakland Press, a suburban Detroit daily newspaper. In addition, Clausen Manor and the Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center previously received Michigan Governor Care Awards, and each year our facilities pass state surveys with exemplary records.

🌿 Happy Palm Sunday! 🌿

Today, we remember the moment Jesus entered Jerusalem, greeted with joy, hope, and shouts of praise:

"Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"

As we begin this Holy Week, may we take time to reflect on the meaning of this journey—one of love, sacrifice, and unwavering faith.

At Lourdes, we are grateful for the moments we share together in faith, reflection, and community. May this week bring peace to your heart and hope to your spirit. ✝️💚

True friendship is one of life’s most meaningful gifts.

A real friend sees the whole story of our lives, the places we’ve been, the challenges we’ve faced, and the person we are becoming.

They offer understanding, acceptance, and encouragement along the way. As we begin this week, may we be grateful for the friends who walk beside us through every chapter of life and gently help us grow. 💙

Caregiving is an extraordinary act of love.

It asks for patience, compassion, and strength in ways we may never have imagined.

Along the journey, many caregivers discover a depth of love, grace, and selflessness they didn’t know they were capable of giving.

Today we honor the caregivers—family members, friends, and professionals—who lean into that love each day and make a profound difference in the lives of others. 💙

Engagement matters. Especially in memory care.

At Clausen Manor, residents enjoy the Tovertafel, an interactive gaming table designed specifically for individuals living with memory loss.

With 36 engaging games - from catching ladybugs to preparing a salad or even shooting pool - the Tovertafel encourages movement, laughter, conversation, and cognitive stimulation.

It’s not just a game. It’s physical, social, and mental exercise wrapped into joyful moments.

Discover how Clausen Manor creates meaningful days for your loved one.

Last night, we were honored to welcome nearly 60 guests to our Senior Care Planning Expo - an evening dedicated to education, preparation, and peace of mind.

At Lourdes, we are committed to providing residents, staff, families, and our greater community with the tools and resources they may need as they navigate retirement, senior living, and end-of-life care.

Events like this are one way we live that mission.

A special thank you to Dahring | Cusmano Investment Professionals, who covered a wide range of important topics older adults may face, including tax law changes on investments, beneficiary planning, long-term care insurance, and navigating complex financial decisions.

They also generously provided delicious desserts (brownies, cookies, apple fritters) along with coffee, tea, and water, which made the evening even more welcoming.

We were also grateful to have Andrea with Century 21 available to answer questions about selling a home in retirement - whether your own or a parent’s - and Cathy from Angela Hospice to offer guidance on considerations surrounding hospice care.

We received many compliments throughout the evening and were told the information shared was both helpful and informative.

Guests had the opportunity to ask personalized questions, and we know several left feeling more confident and better equipped to navigate future decisions.

This expo, and others like it, are part of an ongoing initiative at Lourdes to ensure our community has access to the knowledge and support needed to experience compassionate care, dignity, and respect at every stage of the retirement journey.

We are grateful to all who attended and to the professionals who made the evening possible.

At Clausen Manor Memory Care, safety and dignity go hand in hand.

That’s why we use SafelyYou technology, an innovative fall detection and response system designed specifically for memory care communities. This system helps our team respond quickly when a fall occurs and provides valuable insights to help reduce future risk.

It’s one more way we combine compassionate care with advanced support — so families can have peace of mind.

Come see how Clausen Manor blends safety, comfort, and connection in a beautiful lakefront setting.

🌞 It’s another beautiful Monday! 🌞 Let’s start the week with this playful reminder from Judith Regan: “The key to successful aging is to pay as little attention to it as possible.” 🌸

Aging doesn’t have to be something we focus on or worry about—it’s just another part of life’s journey. The real secret is to stay engaged in what brings us joy, passion, and purpose, no matter the number of candles on the cake. When we shift our attention to the things that truly matter - family, friends, creativity, and new experiences - age becomes just a number.

Here at Lourdes, we celebrate the spirit of living fully at every stage of life. Let’s embrace each day with energy and focus on the things that make us feel alive. This week, instead of thinking about aging, let’s think about all the adventures still waiting for us! 🌟💖

🌟 Exciting Activities at Lourdes Rehab and Healthcare! 🌟

We’ve had a delightful month filled with love and creativity! Here’s a peek into our wonderful activities:

🎩 First, we hosted a charming “Pamper with Love” social, where residents enjoyed hot tea and scones while donning fun hats and feather boas as gifts! The floral backdrop made for perfect photos!

🎨 We were also thrilled to welcome students from Waterford Kettering High School, who brought joy through arts and crafts and a lively game of Name That Tune! Everyone had a blast!

❤️ Our Love Day Tea Party was a hit with heart-shaped bacon grilled cheeses, fresh fruit, iced tea, and mini cupcakes, such a delicious treat!

🎶 And finally, the fabulous D&A DUO serenaded us with love songs, while residents savored freshly baked heart-shaped cookies paired with their favorite drinks featuring pink or red sugared rims. The special touch? Handmade cards from Clarkston Junior High students for each resident!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to these beautiful moments! We cherish the love and laughter shared in our community! 💖
