This week in Employee Spotlights at Windsor Park: Meet Linda, our Facilities Management Coordinator! If you have a problem in your apartment that needs fixing or a big event that needs strong folks to help set up tables and chairs, Linda is your first call! She tells us that her 25-year-old son is her best friend and greatest accomplishment, and that she enjoys sports, the outdoors and watching the birds at the birdfeeder in her backyard (an interest shared by many residents). Linda says she loves the family feeling here at Covenant Living at Windsor Park. Residents don’t just make repair requests—they share stories and photos and memories that make her feel like part of their lives. This is what makes Linda such a great asset to Windsor Park: she says, “I love to help people, and I get to do that every day here at Windsor!”
This year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s was a bit different than usual, which draws hundreds of other walkers from DuPage County. Instead, residents and staff joined on September 26 to walk the beautiful campus of Covenant Living at Windsor Park to raise awareness and funds for research to end Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. After a warm up group stretch, we got the walking underway. While the walk was smaller in scale, we were delighted to see onlookers watching and waving encouragement from their balconies. Join the cause by donating to the Windsor Park We Believe Team! http://ow.ly/KJYJ50BIf4P

October 4–10 was Active Aging Week, and here at Covenant Living at Windsor Park we made the most of the opportunity to bring fun new activities to our residents! Fitness Coordinator Maddy and Life Enrichment Coordinator Adrian found some engaging new ways to get people of a variety of different fitness levels involved, including bowling, mini golf and axe throwing. Yes, you read that right—axe throwing! The trendy outing made for a good workout and sharp competition: our own Carol DeVries nearly got a bullseye! In addition, our Windsor Walkers were challenged to complete a half-marathon – 13.1 miles – throughout the week. Kudos to everyone who participated in something above and beyond their usual routines for Active Aging Week!

Our Life Enrichment team took advantage of the fresh snow that fell over the weekend and challenged residents to a snowman building competition! Betty and Aurora helped kick off the competition for Bristol by building their very own snowmen. They enjoyed reminiscing about playing in the snow as a kid and even had a mini snowball fight. The building that has built the most snowmen by the end of the week will receive a snow-themed treat!
