Yesterday, residents, families, and team members at Touchmark at Coffee Creek came together to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country during a meaningful Memorial Day service.

We’re especially grateful to resident and veteran Ben Robinson, who was featured in News 9’s coverage and shared heartfelt reflections from his time serving our country. Stories like Ben’s are an important reminder of the courage, sacrifice, and resilience carried by so many veterans in our community.

At Touchmark, it’s a privilege to celebrate and honor the lives, experiences, and legacies of the remarkable people who call our community home.

A few weeks ago, we had the incredible honor of watching one of our own take to the skies once again. ✈️

104-year-old WWII veteran and Touchmark at Georgetown resident Grover Trytten participated in Dream Flights “Spirit of Texas” tour in Georgetown, soaring in a restored 1943 Boeing Stearman aircraft similar to those used to train military aviators during World War II.

This latest story is a follow-up to the Dream Flights coverage, offering a deeper look at Grover’s remarkable service in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II—and the legacy he continues to carry with him.

Moments like these remind us that history lives within our communities—and that adventure, courage, and purpose don’t fade with age.

We’re proud to celebrate Grover’s story and grateful for his service to our country.

There’s something special about being surrounded by history you can see and feel every day 🌿

At Touchmark at All Saints, our campus is home to stunning old-growth, historic trees—creating a setting that invites reflection, connection, and a deeper appreciation for the world around us. For resident Paul DeJong, that environment has become part of his daily rhythm and inspiration.

His latest book, Your Neighborhood Guide to Trees of All Saints and McKennan Park, encourages all of us to slow down, look up, and take in the beauty right outside our door.

We’re proud to celebrate Paul—and the remarkable setting that helps make life here so meaningful.

History came to life at Touchmark at All Saints thanks to the incredible Joe Wiegand, whose Theodore Roosevelt performance never fails to captivate our residents. Joe has visited many Touchmark communities over the years, and he’s truly become one of our favorites. From the storytelling to the unmistakable energy he brings to every performance, he has a remarkable way of making the past feel personal, engaging, and fun. We loved seeing Dakota News Now spotlight his work and the joy he brings to audiences everywhere.

Old-fashioned letter writing. New friendships. Real connection. 💌 The Pen Pal Program at Touchmark at The Ranch brought together residents, team members, and students from Mingus Springs Charter School for a school year filled with stories, encouragement, and meaningful connection.

What started as a writing assignment quickly grew into something much bigger—friendships across generations, shared life experiences, and moments that touched everyone involved. From exchanging recipes and camping stories to celebrating together at an end-of-year barbecue, this program is a reminder that connection never goes out of style.

We’re proud to create opportunities where relationships flourish, purpose is renewed, and every generation has something valuable to share. ❤️

As Nurses Week 2026 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the incredible impact our nurses have every day.

They bring compassion to every interaction, dignity to every moment of care, and joy to the lives of those they serve.

In senior living, nursing is about more than clinical care—it’s about walking alongside residents and families through life’s journey, building trust, and creating meaningful moments along the way.

To our nurses: thank you for all you do.

And to those considering a career in nursing—there’s a place for you here, where your work is valued, your ideas are heard, and your relationships truly matter.
