Dream a Little Dream with the Banjo Buddies who travelled by golf cart across our campus for multiple performances for our residents who watched from yards and balconies.
Music travelled to our safely distanced residents as the Banjo Buddies travelled by golf cart across our 45-acre campus to stop for multiple small, private performances for residents watching from their yards, balconies, or windows. Thank you, Banjo Buddies!
Our Highlands residents released a family of butterflies to fly free and The Moorings is even more beautiful with five pearl crescent butterflies fluttering about our 45 acres. Margi, our Director of Social Services, received an unexpected package of live caterpillars from a friend, so she raised them on a diet of bananas and sugar water until they cocooned, hatched, and were ready for our residents to set free. Thank you, Margi!

Vince Connelly, a legend at The Moorings, has been the Director of Environmental Services since its opening in 1988. Vince retires tomorrow, so our residents and staff sent him out with a bang - a tour of the campus waving to his friends who held up signs and yelled out their appreciation of all of Vince's work and friendship these last 32 years. Best wishes for your retirement, Vince. The Moorings won't be the same without you. <3
Thank you, Loretta, for your kind words about our Moorings' community and the measures we have taken to keep our residents safe during the pandemic!

The Moorings invited staff members to play in the snow and build snowpeople for the residents to enjoy.

Do you want to build a snowman? We do! ☃️

A drive-thru Holiday Parade is one of many creative and socially distanced celebrations that have kept the holiday season merry and bright at The Moorings. Residents' family members decorated their cars to spread holiday cheer to their loved ones and the staff joined in on the fun with costumes and decorated cars, golf carts, and company vehicles. Even Santa, driven by one of his elves made an appearance!
