…a note from Gabrielle
As Activities Director, my focus is on creating a space where each individual can find joy, purpose, and connection. I understand that transitioning to a new home can be both exciting and challenging, and my goal is to make this experience as enriching as possible. Through our activities, I hope to help you discover new passions, revisit old ones, and build meaningful connections with others.
Staying active and engaged is so much more than just a routine—it’s about nurturing your well-being, fostering a sense of belonging, and celebrating the little moments that bring us joy. I am here to support and guide you in exploring all the wonderful opportunities that each day offers, and to ensure that our community is a place where you feel valued and inspired.
— Gabrielle Rundlett, Activities Director
