Touchmark on Saddle Drive Retirement Community

09/07/2026

Behind every meaningful resident experience is a remarkable team.

This Labor Day, we're recognizing the people who bring Touchmark to life every day. Caregivers, nurses, dining professionals, housekeepers, building services teams, life enrichment coordinators, health and fitness professionals, resident services, business office teams, retirement counselors, and so many others—every role helps create the welcoming, vibrant communities our residents call home.

While many people are enjoying the holiday weekend, many of our team members will be spending it doing what they do every day: caring for residents, creating moments of connection, and enriching lives.

To every Touchmark team member across every community and department, thank you. Your compassion, dedication, and commitment are the heart of Touchmark, and we're grateful for everything you do.

Back-to-school season often means a return to busy schedules, full calendars, and new routines. And for many families, it can also bring a realization: Mom or Dad may need more support than they used to.

Maybe you’ve noticed changes like difficulty keeping up with the house, changes in driving, or everyday tasks becoming harder. Knowing what’s simply part of aging, and what may be a sign that it’s time for additional support, isn’t always easy.

At Touchmark, we’ve spent decades helping older adults and their families navigate these questions. Our latest guide, linked below, shares practical information to help families.

It’s never too late to check in, pay attention to changes, and start the conversation.

Doing what you love can make a real difference.

This year, Touchmark residents, team members, families, and local supporters came together through concerts, car shows, festivals, fitness challenges, charity dinners, walks, and so much more—all to support the Alzheimer's Association.

Together, our communities raised an incredible $139,120 to help advance Alzheimer's care, support, and research. Every event reflected the creativity, generosity, and compassion that make each Touchmark community unique.

Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, donated, and cheered us on. Your support is helping bring hope to families affected by Alzheimer's disease.

Happy National Friendship Day!

Today, we're celebrating the friendships that make life richer—whether they're brand new, decades old, or unexpectedly rekindled.

Residents Dan Kelly and Terry Anderson were childhood best friends before life took them in different directions. They hadn't seen each other since they were 19 years old.

Then, 70 years later, they stepped into the same elevator at Touchmark—completely unaware they lived just one floor apart.

Today, they're sharing memories, making new ones, and even planning a trip to Portugal together with fellow Touchmark residents next year.

Their story is extraordinary—but the friendships formed at Touchmark happen every day. Whether it's reconnecting with a lifelong friend, meeting a neighbor who quickly becomes family, or discovering someone who inspires you, meaningful connections are the spice of life here.

Happy National Friendship Day from all of us at Touchmark!

This Independence Day, we're reminded that our ability to gather with family and friends, celebrate our freedoms, and enjoy the traditions of the Fourth of July is made possible by the service and sacrifice of people like Touchmark resident Ken Cumings.

When Ken was a young boy, he told his father: "Daddy, when I grow up, I'm going to be in the Navy, and I'm going to be a second-class petty officer."

He achieved that goal—and then exceeded it. "I went in as a seaman and retired as a commander."

Today, we honor Ken and all who have served our country. Thank you for your dedication, your leadership, and the example you've set for generations to come.

Happy Independence Day from all of us at Touchmark!

Caregiving is about more than meeting needs—it’s about honoring each person’s life, preferences, and independence.

At Touchmark, our caregivers approach their work with integrity and hospitality, creating an environment where residents feel respected, comfortable, and truly cared for.

As we close out Caregivers Week, we’re reminded that the impact of this work goes far beyond any single moment—it’s felt in relationships, in trust, and in the lives our caregivers help shape every day.

If you’re called to this kind of work, we’d love to connect with you.
