🍂 A Colorful Fall Day at Meijer Gardens! 🍂
This week, our residents enjoyed a wonderful outing to Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park! The crisp fall air and gorgeous sunshine made it a perfect day to explore the grounds and take in all the beauty the gardens have to offer.
The highlight was the stunning Chihuly glass exhibits. The vibrant colors seemed to glow even brighter against the backdrop of autumn, and everyone loved the sculptures, scenery, and time together.
Outings like this remind us how special it is to explore, laugh, and make memories together. 💛

✨ September’s GEMs, you shine! ✨
Our GEM team members, Michaela and Allison reminded us why hospitality is about people, not just service. Every warm welcome, thoughtful detail, and moment of going above and beyond helped make a resident or a guest’s day a little brighter.
You don’t just meet our hospitality promises, you bring them to life every single day.
We’re so proud of this team and so grateful to work alongside you. 💎

🌱 Fresh things are coming to our new dining spaces, and we went straight to the source! 🍅
We recently visited the Kalamazoo ValleyHUB to learn more about one of our valued community partners and a source for the fresh, local ingredients that will be featured on our menus. Seeing the care and commitment that goes into growing and sourcing great food right here in our own backyard was inspiring.
We can’t wait to share what’s cooking when our new dining spaces open soon. Stay tuned! 👀
Thank you to the Kalamazoo Valley Community College ValleyHUB team for the warm welcome and for being such an important part of our community!
