Smiles were flowing just as much as the Coca-Cola yesterday at The Commons! 🥤😁 We celebrated Have a Coke and Smile Day with cold Cokes and good vibes all around. This classic campaign, launched in 1979, is still bringing people together with happiness and joy—even decades later! 🥳❤️

Today on National Nurses Day, we’re celebrating someone truly special — Emily Wadkins, RN, our Director of Resident Care Services at The Commons! 💙
Emily’s compassion, dedication, and leadership shine every day. Whether she’s solving a problem with a smile, jumping into an activity with residents, or supporting her team, Emily always goes above and beyond. One resident (a retired RN!) said it best: “Emily is simply the best.”
Thank you, Emily, for the incredible care you give and the heart you bring to our community. We appreciate you more than words can say!

Derby Day Delight at The Commons was one for the books! 🏇🎉 The excitement was palpable as staff and residents got creative, assigning unique names, personalities, and backgrounds to our derby horses. Meet the contenders: the enchanting unicorn Elysia, Bertha, American Jack, The Empress of Elegance, and The Graduate! 🦄👑
The race was full of thrills, and the cheering was non-stop! To top it off, we enjoyed mint juleps and delicious derby pie. What a day to remember! 🥧🍹
