Success Higher Path Story: Gayle's Journey
On October 19, 2024, Gayle moved in. At first, she kept to herself, spending most of her time between the dining area and her room. She didn’t engage in activities or socialize much with others.
After a few conversations, I learned that Gayle had a passion for history, trivia, and walking. With that in mind, I invited her to join our Walking Club. Initially, she was hesitant—but over time, she began to open up.
Little by little, Gayle started to participate in more of our community offerings. Today, she’s a regular in Book Club, Walking Club, Coffee Talk, and even our Social Gatherings.
It's been truly rewarding to see her connect with fellow residents, smiling, laughing, and building friendships. That’s why I chose Gayle as our Success Higher Path Story.

We were so blessed to have Pastor Mike join us for a special time of worship leading into Easter weekend. His message and presence brought joy, reflection, and a renewed sense of community.

Happy Friday! Did you know that staying active is one of the best ways to boost mood, maintain independence, and improve overall health at any age—especially in our golden years! Our residents had a blast playing seated volleyball today, proving that fun and fitness go hand in hand.
