Viva! World Tour...  Destination Nigeria!






Who knew that crunchy, deep-fried Nigeria Chin Chin was so delicious and easy to make? Stoney River Marshfield residents whipped up a batch of the tasty snack and created mini-models of Ndebele painted houses found in South Africa.

Using Skype, Heartis Village of Peoria residents connected with people from Nigeria during a virtual happy hour. Raise your Chapman, Nigeria's signature cocktail, to toast new friendships!

Settling in to Senior Living



When older adults move to a senior living community, they often worry if they will fit in and feel at home in their new environment. Pathway to Living Lifestyle Specialists know from experience how to smooth the way for this major lifestyle change and help residents and family members transition to community life.

Learn what steps to take for a successful move.




Maretta "Rita" Smith, RN, Victory Centre of Bartlett


Hooray for Nurses !

"Rita has a warm smile and a kind heart. Last year, she renewed her wedding vows with husband, Tim, at the community dressed in her original wedding dress, so residents could celebrate with them. We are so fortunate to have her as part of our family," said Melissa Trejo, Life Enrichment Manager

Rita is part of a caring team of dedicated and skilled nurses, who are integral to Pathway's unique approach to living for older adults.





Intergenerational Relationships are a Win-Win 
   
On a field trip to Alexian Village, Rupley Elementary School fifth graders shared lunch and their musical talents with residents before playing games and enjoying some one-on-one time. The visit was so fun because each generation knows cool stuff that the other one doesn't!

Kind Stranger Picks Up Lunch Tab  


After enjoying lunch at Salutos in Gurnee, a restaurant patron generously picked up the nearly $200 bill for a table of Travanse Living at Grayslake residents. The woman said that she was touched and inspired by the vibrant and happy group of older adults out and about. Pathway welcomes opportunities like this to fulfill its mission to change the way society thinks about aging.







Prom-tastic! 
   
High school prom photos are all over social media now, but check out the "senior" prom goers at Victory Centre of South Chicago for a lesson on ageless and timeless style.











Good to be First 

Grandbrier of Prospect Heights's first resident and WWII veteran, Carl, had the honor of raising the flag for the newly opened community's first Memorial Day remembrance.
