At Walnut Ridge, we like to say that Ken is our most senior senior - and we mean that in the very best way! After 17 years, he holds the title of our longest resident, making him a true “veteran” of our community.

But Ken’s story goes far beyond these walls. He is also a veteran in every sense of the word, having served 22 years as an Air Force chaplain, including time in combat during the Vietnam War. His life has been one of service and faith.

We are honored to know Ken, our “veteran” veteran, whose kindness and humor 😂 enriches our community every day.

Thank you, Ken, for your years of service…both to our country and to all of us here at Walnut Ridge. 💙

Today we happily hosted a Senior Wellness Expo to celebrate National Senior Health & Fitness Day! 💪 🌟😎Residents and other seniors connected with vendors focused on health and wellness, and explored new resources available to them. We also offered tours of our fitness center, group fitness gym, and our warm water pool. It was a JOY to open our doors, and see so many smiling faces come together in support of senior wellness! 🤩

Our wonderful resident volunteer librarian brings a lifetime of love for books to our community, having spent many years as a school librarian before sharing her talents with us 🤩. She keeps our library in tip top shape, thoughtfully organizing with the Dewey Decimal System and carefully curating donations to keep our collection fresh and inviting. We are so grateful for the care, wisdom, and heart she pours into the Walnut Ridge library!

7 ways PHS nurses make a difference 👩‍⚕️💚🧑‍⚕️

Reason 7 of 7: You help create a place where everyone thrives.

Residents. Families. Staff. When you show up as your best self, the whole community feels it. You set the tone. You raise the bar. Because of you, PHS delivers care and services to thousands of older adults each year. Thank you for being the heartbeat of it all. 💚

Please give a virtual round of applause to the nurses serving at these communities 👏
