Today, we recognize Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year—a sacred time for reflection, repentance, forgiveness and renewal.

To our Jewish residents, families, team members and neighbors observing this meaningful day, may your fast be meaningful and your year ahead be filled with peace, hope and goodness.

G’mar Chatimah Tovah. ✡️

Yesterday, team members from our community proudly walked together at the annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s! 💜

We walked in honor of our residents, families and friends whose lives have been touched by Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia—and with hope for a future without this devastating disease.

Together, every step brings us closer to a cure. 💜🌼 Ebenezer

Today just rocked! 💜🎸

Day three of Homecoming was a celebration fit for Prince himself! We enjoyed a spectacular Purple Gala featuring ribs and shrimp, live music from Grimm & Cruz, and a special appearance by Andrea Swensson.

The music, the food, the dancing—and, of course, all the purple—made it a night to remember. Tonight, we partied like it was 1999! ☔️💜

History came alive on Day Two of Homecoming Week! Today’s theme was A Night at the Museum, celebrating the art, history, and stories that make our community so special.

The highlight of the day was our Gallery Night, featuring incredible artwork created by our very own Pillars residents. From lifelong artists to those who discovered their creativity later in life, each piece told a story as told by our residents who were the artists on exhibit.
