There's something powerful about stepping outside on a warm summer morning – the feel of sun on your face, birdsong in the background, and the smell of flowers blooming nearby. 🌻
Time outdoors is especially essential to well-being for people on the dementia journey. Here’s why:
☀️ Sunlight boosts Vitamin D production, supporting health, mobility, and mood
💤 Being outside in the daytime helps regulate sleep and reduce late-day confusion
🌳 Connecting with nature sparks sense memories in unique ways

Our annual Father’s Day Car Show was another big hit! 🚙 A big thanks goes out to all the volunteers from the Carmel Cruisers who brought a dozen cars for us to enjoy and reminisce over today.
What memories do these historical cars bring back for you?

Recently, we had a special afternoon celebrating a very special member of our community! 💙👶🏻
Residents, families, and staff gathered together on our beautiful patio to honor our Director of Life Enrichment, Jenn Krumholtz, as she prepares to welcome her first child- a baby boy!
The celebration was filled with love, laughter, and creativity. Guests enjoyed making custom onesies for the baby, sharing name suggestions and words of wisdom for the new parents, and watching Jenn open adorable gifts including baby clothing, toys, and so much more.
Our Culinary Services team created a delicious spread featuring sparkling punch, homemade hummus and fresh vegetables, spinach and artichoke dip, gourmet flatbread pizzas, tomato, mozzarella, and pesto skewers, chicken cordon bleu bites, cake, and assorted macarons.
Most importantly, Jenn was surrounded by the incredible support of the residents, families, and staff who make our community so special. It was a wonderful reminder that here, we truly are one big family. We are so excited for Jenn and can’t wait to meet her little boy! 💙✨
