Celebrate Senior Health Did you know May 26th is National Senior Health and Fitness Day? I love that! You know the good ole phrase “if you don’t use it, you lose it”… we all know that’s truer than we’d like to admit. I absolutely love watching videos of seniors who beat the odds and hit …
Thank You Health Care Workers This month we want to give a huge shout out to all the health care workers in our community. They are truly an inspiration to us all. This past year has been so turbulent for many of them and their day-to-day lives have changed dramatically. But they stood up and …
Spring Into Action I love setting goals and achieving them. I am all about knocking things off my list and completing yearly, quarterly and daily goals. But sometimes we all hit a slow month where we look around and say, “Wow, how did I get so off track?” March is usually the month the gyms …
How Do You Love? Love languages have always meant so much to me. I truly relished the idea of finding out the love languages of my friends, family and co-workers so I could better appreciate them in a way that suited their personalized needs and wants.

The Future Is Now “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” ― C.S. Lewis. The “ending” is your “future,” and YOU get to decide what that is going to be starting right now! That is incredibly exciting and powerful to know that you …
Better Together If this year has taught us anything, it’s that we need each other, now more than ever. Going at it alone may be fast, but we get much further and accomplish so much more together as a team. This couldn’t be more true in the assisted living industry and we were reminded of …
Are You Planning For Success? If it’s not written down it doesn’t exist… Goal setting and then creating your plan to achieve those goals are important skills that you will need to be as successful as possible. Virtually everyone you ask will tell you they have “goals.” Statistically, 90% of us DO NOT have written …
Teamwork A simple word that means so much to me. Without a team to work with I wouldn’t be able to accomplish 10% of what I am able to do with them. Doing it all “alone” is not only difficult and limiting, but it can also be lonely. Having the right team members is critical …
Smaller Is Better… I’ve been saying that for years, and now the rest of the world is saying it too. The “Big Box” communities have been hit harder by COVID-19 than Residential Assisted Living homes coast to coast. That is for many reasons, but the fact is RAL homes have had only minor disruption in …
