Summer Olympic Games & Resident Thank You Note

August 13th, 2021

We held our own Summer Olympic Games here at Lilydale Senior Living on July 28. Everyone had a blast with some friendly competition, which included games like bean bag bullseye and ring toss. Thank you so much to everyone who helped make it happen and to all our participants! And, of course, congratulations to our winners: Mary S., Russ G., and George K. 🥇🎉

A resident sent along this kind letter of thanks following a recent field trip. Thank you for sharing, Mary – we always look for fun, engaging events and activities for our community members, and we love to hear when it shows!
