Here's to a happy and healthy 2021 for us all!

We're thankful that you're on this journey with us. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

"The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes." Frank Lloyd Wright We're celebrating the countless contributions our senior citizens have and continue to make for all of us, and recognizing the importance of safe, high-quality care for all seniors who want it. Happy World Senior Citizen's Day! #seniorcitizensday #nationalseniorcitizensday #worldseniorcitizensday #seniors #seniorcitizens #eldercare #aging #seniorcare #healthcare #wellness #pixiecare

The craving for ‘the return of the day’, which the sick so constantly evince, is generally nothing but the desire for light. Florence Nightingale Happy Nurses Day, Week, Month and Year to all nurses, working every day to bring "the return of the day" closer to all of us during these dark times. #NursesWeek #nursesday2020 #thankyounurses #yearofthenurse #nurse #nursing #health

Hands have been a big focus lately: washing them thoroughly, watching what they touch, keeping them away from loved ones. But each of them holds the power to stay in touch with those we love, to keep each other healthy, and to show appreciation for those risking their lives by doing essential jobs. We applaud everyone helping others, today and always.

Throughout November, we recognize and honor family caregivers around the country. If you have one, know one, or even are one, you know just how important this role is. As we recognize all family caregivers, we also encourage them to take the time to rest, to explore helpful technologies, to accept help, and to recognize themselves. Happy National Family Caregivers Month! #caregiving #caregivers #family #wellness #caregiversupport #caregivingsupport

Happy National Assisted Living Week! Today and all week, we are celebrating our friends at assisted living communities around the country! We love this year's theme, "A Spark of Creativity", which has two goals: for residents to find ways to express their creativity, and for community staff and management to explore creative ways to improve care and quality of life for their residents.
