Memorial Day Remembrance

In senior living

By Natalie Mahn on Jun 14, 2021 in Senior Living

Memorial Day marks an important time to remember — and honor — those who gave their lives while serving our country. And for a collection of senior living communities, the day was spent doing just that.

From recognizing their own resident veterans to honoring all military personnel who died in service, see how these Yardi clients got creative this year:

Commonwealth Senior Living

For Commonwealth Senior Living at Charlottesville, Memorial Day was spent singing “The Star-Spangled Banner,” reciting “The Pledge of Allegiance” and exchanging speeches. During this special ceremony, Commonwealth paid tribute to our nation’s fallen heroes. They also recognized their own resident veterans, including those who have passed on.

“Thank you to American Legion Post 74’s Color Guard for presenting the colors and speaking about what the day means to you,” wrote Commonwealth on LinkedIn, sharing an article from NBC29.

Westmont Living

Westmont Living embraced the holiday at two of their communities, joining residents together for a day of remembrance.

At Lakeview Senior Living, one of Westmont’s Oregon communities, residents unveiled an admirable Wall of Honor and reflected over music, drinks and barbeque. At Westmont of Fresno, residents gathered for a day of patriotic karaoke. The organization shared photos from Lakeview’s celebration as well as Westmont of Fresno’s gathering on LinkedIn.

Pacifica Senior Living

Last but not least, Pacifica Senior Living Hillsborough brought residents together for a memorable ceremony — releasing balloons in honor of their own family members. Pacifica posted an array of photos from the unforgettable day on social media.  

Yardi applauds our clients in senior living for finding inspiring ways to honor our country’s fallen heroes. We join them in remembering all who gave their lives in service.
