Thank you to the Givens Estates Environmental Services team members whose diligence creates clean, safe, comfortable, and welcoming spaces for residents, visitors, and fellow team members. Their dedication often happens behind the scenes, but its impact is felt every day. We are deeply grateful for their hard work, attention to detail, and commitment to maintaining environments where people can live, heal, and thrive

“We’ll be there with bells on!”

When future residents Chris Cicotello and Maria Juarez said they were excited about moving to Givens Estates, they told us, “We’ll be there with bells on!” Well… they meant it!

That excitement says so much about what a move to Givens Estates can be — a new home, new friendships, new experiences, and a whole new chapter to look forward to. Chris and Maria, we love your spirit, your enthusiasm, and we can already tell you’re going to bring a little extra joy (and apparently a little extra jingle!) to our community.

We can’t wait to welcome you HOME!
