Garden Spot Village

Working parents face difficulty during a holiday when schools are closed. The Village Life Experiences team in the Healthcare areas of Garden Spot Village hosted a Garden Spot Village Kids Day. Team members' children spent the day at Garden Spot Village and could participate in activities with residents in all the care areas: DayBreak, Personal Care, Memory Care, and Skilled Nursing. It was a thrilling day for not only the children but the residents as well. #intergenerational #kidsdayatgardenspotvillage #innovation #distributedleadership #bringyourchildrentowork

Today is National Ageism Awareness Day. At Garden Spot Communities, we are sparking a Pro-Aging Revolution. We believe aging should be celebrated, not stigmatized. We reject the mindset of "can't, shouldn't, or won't" because of age. Instead, we embrace aging as a natural progression that brings wisdom, resilience, and self-discovery. We strive to be part of the change, fostering new language, attitudes, and mindsets about aging. We focus on whole-person well-being, where healthcare supports living and vibrant communities thrive. Aging is no longer a liability but an opportunity to enrich lives, communities and society. At Garden Spot Communities, we encourage relationship building between residents and team members, and in doing that, we're redefining aging—not to defy it, but to embrace it with purpose, passion, and impact. Join us in celebrating the power of aging! #AgeismAwarenessDay #TalkAboutAgeism #SparkAProAgingRevolution

it is a pleasure to serve in our community.

I think this story might be sweeter than the peach pie it features, but I’ll include both the story and the recipe so you can judge for yourself. One of the residents at Garden Spot Village shared her delicious peach pie recipe with the community, and they decided to surprise her by recreating it. Her pie was featured in their dessert case during Peach Week, and all three pies sold immediately. She was so thrilled and wanted all of her friends to have some. This story highlights the strong sense of belonging and connection that exists in our Senior Living Communities. It's satisfying to know that we're contributing to spaces where people can create lasting memories together. #seniors #retirement #positivevibes Sodexo Sodexo USA Garden Spot Communities
