Atria Kinghaven

Atria Kinghaven held our July Social Series- Strawberry Social. We celebrated summer’s sweetest fruit and the tasty connection to Wimbledon.

We enjoyed 4 yummy Strawberry treats- Strawberry tart, Strawberry rhubarb pie, Chocolate covered Strawberries and Watermelon pizza with Greek yogurt, granola and a Strawberry on top. To drink was Strawberry lemonade and Berries lemonade with fresh frozen Strawberries as the ice cube.

We enjoyed some Strawberry and Wimbledon trivia and fun facts.

Fun fact- Did you know that until 2022, players at Wimbledon were only allowed to wear White. . . Because it hide sweat marks.

Thank you Retired Detroit Police Sargent Robert Haig for coming and educating us about Scammers and how they target Seniors. Thank you to Cindy, the group from Brownstown Seniors and the group from BridgePort for coming to Atria Kinghaven for the event. It was an informative class.

Meet Ron and his newest companion, June!

Ron recently adopted June, a 7-year-old Brittany Spaniel, through a Brittany Spaniel rescue organization in Pennsylvania. After a thorough application and home inspection process, June found her forever home at Atria Center City.

A lifelong animal lover, Ron has always enjoyed the companionship that pets bring. "Growing up, I was surrounded by animals and fondly remember riding horses and caring for family pets," shares Ron. Throughout his life, dogs have always held a special place in his heart.

June's story is just as special. She came from a family that could no longer care for her, and after spending much of her life outdoors, she now has a loving home where she can thrive. "June is one of the friendliest dogs I have ever had," adds Ron.

When asked what animals bring to our lives, Ron's answer was simple: They bring pleasure, purpose and unconditional love. "Caring for June gives me a sense of responsibility and companionship. I believe pets can have a positive impact on both emotional well-being and overall health."

We're so thankful that Ron chose to share his story with us and thrilled that June has become part of the Atria family.

VIPs party at Atria Tarzana! 🪩🐶

Very important puppies, that is. Each month, all the furry neighbors are invited to a tail-waggingly good party, along with their humans and neighbors. It's a great chance for the dogs to enjoy some extra attention and playtime.

With a table full of treats, we're sure some doggie bags were taken home. 🦴

More than 25 years ago, Ricardo and his wife joined the team at Atria Golden Creek. Their 7-year-old daughter, Anahi, would come volunteer with residents whenever she could.

Years later, Anahi returned as a caregiver and has now spent 14 years growing into her current role as Resident Services Coordinator. Along the way, she completed nursing school through Atria’s tuition reimbursement program and is now on her way to becoming an LVN.

And the tradition continues – when Anahi’s daughter Jessica turned 7, she began volunteering too. Today, she’s a Bistro Attendant at the community.

Three generations connected by a shared love of serving older adults. 💙
