With July being National Culinary Arts Month, we want to spotlight one of our amazing culinary team members. Phyllis is a Cook in the Loons Nest dining room at our Friendship Village of Bloomington #seniorliving community. Known for her cheerful personality and determination to make every dining experience enjoyable for residents, Phyllis was nominated by a resident to be the community’s July Team Member of the Month. “Cooking breakfast is one of my favorite things about my job. It’s rewarding to know that the food I make brings a smile to the residents’ faces,” said Phyllis. “I also like getting to know the residents. I call one resident Sunshine when I see her in the morning. It brightens her day and mine.” Thank you, Phyllis, and the rest of our culinary team members for the joy and nourishment you bring to our residents each day! #LivingLifespace #CCRC

Congratulations to our Claridge Court #seniorliving community for receiving the 2024 Community Spirit Award for business! The award recognizes those who have made significant contributions to the city and community, and it is always given during the City of Prairie Village’s annual Village Fest held on July 4. Claridge Court Executive Director Robert Salierno accepted the award on behalf of Claridge Court. “We are so excited to be working with Prairie Village and honored to be accepting this award,” he said. “Our philosophy is not to have people come to our community and retire from society, but to provide an opportunity to continue to be part of the amazing opportunities that Prairie Village offers as people continue to age.” Not only is Claridge Court a great place to live and work, residents and team members are active members of the local community that #giveback. Congratulations again to Claridge Court! #LivingLifespace

#RecreationalTherapy, also known as therapeutic recreation, focuses on improving a person’s physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual health to help them live a fuller life. Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists (CTRS) are the professionals who design and implement these therapeutic programs that benefit so many people. For National Therapeutic Recreation Week, we’re spotlighting one of our Lifestyle team members who has this certification, Jessica Lazzara, Director, Lifestyle, of Oak Trace Senior Living. As a CTRS, Jessica’s work helps reduce depression, stress, and anxiety through programming that increases confidence and brings joy and meaningful experiences to the residents she serves. She enjoys leading her team to implement programs, events, and outings for Oak Trace’s residents that touch on all the dimensions of wellness. Thank you to Jessica and all our incredible CTRS team members for creating experiences that enable our residents to thrive! Happy National Therapeutic Recreation Week! #LivingLifespace #CCRC #seniorliving
