January is a time to reset, reconnect, and ease into the year ahead. Across our communities, this month focuses on slowing down, staying engaged, and enjoying meaningful moments together, with a full calendar of outings, creative activities, and social gatherings.
We also want to share an important update. Our Life Enrichment Director, Sydney Hertz, will be transitioning off staff, with her last day on January 4. Sydney has been a cherished part of The Gardens community, bringing creativity, warmth, and connection to residents each day. We are deeply grateful for her time here and wish her all the best in her next chapter.
Winter naturally invites a slower pace. This month’s programming is designed to mirror that rhythm—encouraging rest, reflection, and simple enjoyment.
Residents are invited to:
There’s no pressure to rush. January is about comfort, consistency, and calm engagement.
Some activities require advance sign-up due to space or supply needs. Residents can sign up at the front desk or call for assistance.
Highlighted events include:
Dates and performers vary by community. January entertainment includes folk, country, saxophone, upbeat classics, and Moose Tracks Social gatherings throughout the month.
We love celebrating our residents. January birthdays are recognized across all communities—be sure to check your community calendar for specific names and dates.
January sets the tone for the year—not by doing more, but by doing what matters well. We look forward to sharing a month filled with connection, creativity, and care, and we’re grateful to experience it together.
