A huge thank you to Brittany from Care2You for treating our Assisted Living residents to a traveling s’mores bar today! 🥰 From gooey marshmallows to plenty of chocolate, this sweet little surprise was such a fun way to brighten the day.

Nothing brings people together quite like s’mores—especially when the s’mores come to YOU! 🤎🔥

Thank you, Brittany, for thinking of our residents and bringing the fun (and the chocolate!) to Woodland Village! 🍫❤️

🍝☔ Thursday night proved that a little rain wasn’t going to stop us!

Our “Put Your Noodle to the Test” Spaghetti & Trivia Night came with a little more water than we ordered 😂, but we made the best of it! Even though our event was outside in the rain, we had such a fun night filled with spaghetti, trivia, raffles, prizes, lots of laughs, and some pretty great memories. ❤️

A HUGE thank you to Chris from Hallmark HomeCare for sponsoring the event and helping us bring it all together!

We’re also incredibly grateful to the wonderful community partners who generously donated gifts, gift certificates, and raffle items: Devotion Hospice, Care 2 You Home Health Care, Brighton Center for the Performing Arts, SERVPRO, Brookdale Senior Living of Brighton, Hartland Senior Activity Center, The Betty Brigade, Total Home Mortgage/Benjie Vista, and RE/MAX Northville/Bob Warren. We appreciate your support of our Woodland Village community so much!

A HUGE shout-out to Dave and Pattie for all of the extra hands-on support throughout the evening! ❤️ And thank you to every single helping hand who jumped in to set up, keep things running, and tear everything down afterward. Events like this truly take a village—and doing it all in the rain made that teamwork even more appreciated! ☔💪

And, of course, thank you to everyone who braved Thursday night’s weather and came out to support our Woodland Village Activities Department. The rain may not have been part of the plan, but it certainly didn’t dampen the fun!

Rain, pasta, prizes, teamwork, and plenty of laughs—Thursday night was definitely one to remember! 🍝☔❤️

Trinity Health Senior Communities is proud to announce that one of its Michigan leaders -- Colette Belcourt, executive director at Bellbrook in Rochester Hills -- has been selected as a trainer for the September 22 Michigan Joint Provider Surveyor Training themed "Protecting Vulnerable Populations; Abuse Prevention & Ethical Compliance." Colette will serve as a presenter for the discussion of "Preventing Resident-to-Resident Abuse." This module will provide professional caregivers with critical information about federal regulatory requirements, effective strategies and lessons learned in preventing resident-to-resident abuse in long-term care settings.
A Licensed Nursing Home Administrator, Colette has overseen Bellbrook's operations for two years. She excels in creating exceptional resident and colleague experiences at the Rochester Hills Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Short-Term Rehabilitation community. Colette holds an M.B.A. in healthcare administration. We are grateful that The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs has recognized her expertise and given her the ability to share it in a plenary session that will benefit older adults and those who serve them in senior living and care settings.

💙 Wishing Vanessa All the Best on Her Next Journey! 💙

This week is a bittersweet one at Woodland Village as we say goodbye to our Administrator, Vanessa, as she begins an exciting new chapter.

Vanessa has been such an important part of our Woodland Village family. Her leadership, dedication, compassion, and commitment to our residents, families, and team have made a lasting impact on our community. While we are sad to see her go, we are also incredibly excited for her and all that lies ahead.

Vanessa, thank you for everything you have poured into Woodland Village and, most importantly, into the people who call it home. You will be missed more than you know! 💕

Please join us in wishing Vanessa much happiness and success as she begins her next journey! We know she’ll do amazing things wherever the road takes her. 💙

Once Woodland Village family, always Woodland Village family. 🏡❤️

We are very grateful to Catholic Health World reporter Julie Minda and Michigan-based photographer Chris Stranad for capturing the spirit and images of our Trinity Health Senior Communities Mission Fairs. Our recent Fair at Fraser Villa was one beautiful example of how we take time to celebrate and share the Mission and Core Values at the heart of our service to older adults throughout the nation. https://bit.ly/4h4KteX

The events offer dialogue, activities, tchotchkes and celebrations related to the senior care campuses' values.
