Dementia affects millions, and we believe the best care begins with understanding. That’s why we’re excited to launch an intensive Dementia Education Training this October for our team members. Led by expert educator Carrie Chiusano, this multi-day training is designed to equip our staff with deeper insights, practical tools, and person-centered strategies to support residents living with dementia. Next month, Carrie will visit each community for in-depth training sessions followed by a certification opportunity for those pursuing Certified Dementia Care Practitioner credentials. Because high-quality care starts with confident, empowered caregivers—and learning never stops. #WorldAlzheimersDay #DementiaCare #CreativeLiving #SeniorCareEducation #ECSforSeniors #CertifiedDementiaPractitioner #CompassionateCare

At The Covington, the recently reimagined Secret Garden has transformed from a quiet koi pond into a vibrant, multi-use sanctuary. With cascading waterfalls, updated pathways, enhanced lighting, and expanded seating, this space is now a cornerstone of community life. Designed with intention, the Secret Garden supports spiritual wellness, connection to nature, and daily joy. It’s where the community meditation group gathers weekly and where residents enjoy dining, laughter, quiet moments, and connection—any time of day, thanks to shaded seating and serene landscaping. This isn’t just landscaping, it’s a living example of how we blend beauty, function, and well-being to reflect what matters most. Take a look inside the transformation. #ECSforSeniors #SeniorLiving #LandscapeDesign #TheCovington #LifePlanCommunity #SeniorCare #CreativeLiving
