We had a garden party in our rose garden the other day and it was fantastic. We released hundreds of ladybugs! It was awesome to see them flying around and sitting on our roses. Some even landed on the guests and they felt really special. It was an incredible day.

So Pretty
The color of these flowers!! I was walking the gardens and this display on the table looked so pretty. All the colors of the rainbow are represented in our gardens. This morning I was on a tour and we had an eight year old little girl. She was giggly and sweet and commented on every butterfly and every different flower. Smart kid!

We are beginning to renovate and upgrade an apartment that has just become available and already we have a deposit and reservation down! It should be ready by September 1. And we have another new resident. These are exciting events and the whole community of residents and staff are thrilled!

We are all neighbors
So many of our residents have pets. They adore them. They are great conversation starters when they walk them in our neighborhood. Yesterday I received a call from one of our neighbors. She said she had met a delightful resident and her dog while they were both having an evening walk about. She had the name of a good dog groomer to share and could I please pass it on! I said sure and thanks for calling. She said of course we are all neighbors here! That's right. We are all neighbors.

Look at this!
I was walking through the rose garden this morning and had to stop. This rose was so beautiful and the smell!!! So fragrant so exquisite and so Aldersly. Meticulously maintained and loved. I am always so thankful and appreciative of the beauty. Our rose garden is a work of genius. Our Gardener has been here for over 25 years.

Meet Maddie
Maddie spends her days in our beautiful Assisted Living building where her mom is our Director of Health Care Services. She is an awesome member of our team. She welcomes everyone! She sounds tough as she lets us all know that she is the one really in charge. But she is really just a sweetie. She is often found visiting residents in their apartments. Everybody loves Maddie. Just look at that face!

Boris the Cat
Have I told you about our cat? Boris lives in our Health Care Center. He is LOVED by everyone. Staff, residents, neighbors! Boris belonged to one of our neighbors but spent many a day and night here on our campus. About 10 years ago our neighbors moved to San Anselmo, about 8 miles away. They took Boris with them, and wouldn't you know it! Boris walked back to Aldersly! This is all city traffic walking! We called the owners to let them know. It was clear that Boris had chosen Aldersly as his home. He roams our campus and visits everyone. But our Health Care Center is his home and he does have a favorite resident there. We love Boris and I am thrilled to introduce him to you. Stop by and maybe he will join us on a tour!!
Putting it all together
It is the start of a new week here at Aldersly and the fun is just beginning. Boy are we making plans for the summer. The events and activities are going to be incredible and I know you will not want to miss them! Stop back for updates......

Friday's Post!
Who doesn't love Fridays? The week is almost over and the weekend is just about to begin.....I have noticed that our residents love Fridays too. Even though they are retired. Just this morning I was talking to one of our residents and he is taking friends out to lunch today. He said Friday is his favorite day to go out for lunch. It must be something. Friday's are great days! Always puts a smile on my face. Enjoy the day!

"Waited too long"
I talk to people on the phone every day. My job and my passion is to educate seniors on their retirement. "I'm not ready yet" is something I hear over and over again. What is it that they are not ready for? I wonder. If it is a crisis they are waiting for to signal to them that they are ready it is too late. A Continuing Care Retirement Community like Aldersly is one where you move in and live your own life in your own apartment. Independent!

Full circle
This morning I had a call from a past President of the Board of Directors for Aldersly! What an exciting call that was for me. He said he built many of our amazing apartments. He was also very happy to hear that we still proudly displayed pictures of past and current presidents. Our heritage and history is proudly displayed! 88 Years of history is something to be very proud of.

Plan for your future
Aldersly will provide a fulfilling senior living lifestyle for you! don't wait until you need us. Unfortunately we all know someone who waited too long and once you have a health challenge, you no longer qualify to make a reservation! Don't wait for a crisis. Call me, I have solutions for today's active seniors. Even in this economy!
