On this Labor Day, we reflect with gratitude on the value of hard work, service, and dedication. We are thankful for our team members who go above and beyond to support residents each day, and for the residents whose lifetime of accomplishments, perseverance, and contributions continue to inspire us.

As we gather with family and friends and enjoy the holiday, let us take a moment to appreciate the people whose efforts help our communities thrive. Happy Labor Day!

A Golden Celebration of Our Wonderful Seniors!

We put a fresh, fun spin on our annual National Senior Citizens Day celebration at La Marea! 💛

Inspired by Oprah Winfrey’s Favorite Things and Ellen’s 12 Days of Giveaways, we spent the day surprising our residents with fun, meaningful prizes through our very own Golden Prize Drops! 🎁

It was a day filled with golden surprises, joyful moments, laughter, and lots of celebrating—all to honor the incredible individuals who make our community so special.

And the celebration wasn’t just about the prizes. It was also an opportunity to recognize the wonderful, Very Important Partners (VIPs) who continually support our residents and help make their lives brighter, fuller, and more meaningful.

🎥 Enjoy this little snippet from our all-day Golden Celebration!

And be sure to follow along as we shine the spotlight on our amazing Very Important Partners (VIPs) one by one in our next series of posts, where we’ll introduce you to these incredible organizations and share more about the valuable services they provide to our residents and community. THANK YOU, Blessed Hope Hospice, Salus Homecare and Hospice- San Diego, The Elizabeth Hospice, Cornerstone Caregiving, 1Heart Caregiver Services - Oceanside, Shores Hospice, and FirstLight Home Care of Carlsbad and Encinitas.
