"Respite care" is a short stay in Personal Care, often used when an older adult's caregiver is away or recovering from a medical procedure. For Jason's family, it was the perfect way to help his mother decide which senior living community to choose.

"We wanted her to make her own decision of where to live permanently," Jason tells us. "After being in respite care at The Willows, she decided to stay."

Medal-winning moments! Last week residents traveled to Meadowood for the Friendship Games, a day of friendly competition with other communities.

🥈 Dock Woods earned four silver medals: two in bocce and two in shuffleboard
🥉 Souderton Mennonite Homes brought home three medals: silver in billiards and bronze in shuffleboard

Congratulations to every resident who competed!

And a special thank-you to fitness coordinators Kristen and Tina for making this day happen for Living Branches residents.

After months of renovations in Souderton Mennonite Homes Health Care, the Azalea Lane neighborhood is complete and ready for residents! Our team is prepping for move-in day.

We're getting closer to wrapping up our Health Care renovation project across both Souderton Mennonite Homes and Dock Woods.

The physical changes to the buildings are wonderful, and we're equally excited about how these refreshed spaces benefit residents, family members, and team members.

Dock Woods just celebrated five years of zero deficiencies in our annual survey!

For the fifth year in a row, state surveyors made their unannounced visit to Dock Terrace, the Health Care neighborhood at Dock Woods, and left without citing a single deficiency.

That puts Dock Terrace in very rare company: it's one of just seven nursing homes in Pennsylvania (out of 655) with zero deficiencies across their three most recent inspections for which data is currently available.

This achievement belongs to nurses, CNAs, culinary team, housekeepers, therapists, pastors, life enrichment coordinators, and every team member who serves residents in Dock Terrace. Last week we celebrated together with ice cream, smoothies, a seafood truck, and plenty of high-fives.

To the families and residents who trust us, we thank you. We're always listening and working to be even better.

Congratulations, Dock Terrace team! Leave a note below to cheer them on. 👇

Nothing says "last taste of summer" like a day in Ocean City! 🏖️

Last week residents soaked up the sun, dipped their toes in the surf, and enjoyed lunch and sweet treats on the boardwalk.

Thank you to the team members who came along and made the day so memorable for residents!

Always a joy to see how residents at The Willows of Living Branches make a difference in the local community!

💙 Each year, Willows residents challenge themselves to raise $1,000 for a local organization through weekly worship offerings. And this year they exceeded it!

We were honored to welcome Sheldon Good, development director at Manna on Main Street, to our July town hall to receive the donation and share a few words about their work.

💜 Throughout Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month, our team members are wearing their Serenata Memory Care T-shirts on Fridays to stand alongside seniors and families impacted by Alzheimer's disease. It's a small gesture toward recognizing the importance of compassionate memory care.
