Self-care is about so much more than bubble baths.
What we need to care for ourselves at 25 may look very different at 55, 75, or 85. In the latest Aging Unscripted, Licensed Professional Counselor Danica Denton joins us to explore how self-care evolves as we age—from setting boundaries and asking for help to staying connected and finding purpose. Beyond Bubble Baths: Real Self-Care at Every Age

As Colorado celebrates its 150th anniversary on August 1, we’re proud to debut Our People | Our Legacy—a collection of remarkable stories from people across Christian Living Communities whose lives, leadership, and service have made a lasting impact on Colorado and beyond.

Investing in Team Members, Investing in Residents 🌟
We're proud to share that Christian Living Communities recently brought together 12 dedicated associates from five of our communities for a hands-on Mentor Training event!
One of the most powerful moments? Our Empathy Training activity, where participants wore specialized gear designed to simulate physical limitations many residents experience every day — from limited mobility to reduced vision and dexterity. Walking (literally) in residents' shoes builds the kind of understanding that can't be taught from a manual.
This training is part of CLC's Mentor Program, built to:
✅ Support new associates as they learn our culture, values, and the "unwritten rules" that make CLC feel like family
✅ Recognize experienced associates for their skill and heart for service
✅ Strengthen job satisfaction and retention across our communities
✅ Create a stable environment where every associate can learn and grow
When we invest in our team, we're investing in the quality of life for every resident we serve. 💛
