Westminster

Last month, we celebrated our incredible Environmental Services team who helps make Westminster feel like home.

From spotless living spaces and beautifully maintained common areas to fresh linens and countless behind-the-scenes details, our Environmental Services team works tirelessly every day to create a clean, comfortable, and welcoming community. Their dedication, care, and attention to detail make a lasting impact on residents, families, and associates alike.

Please join us in thanking our Housekeeping, Janitorial, and Laundry teams for all they do. 💙

Residents, mark your calendars! Join us on October 5th to learn about our week-long Life+ Wellness Summit.

We were so excited about this wonderful opportunity for our residents. Thank you so much Upworthy for this fabulous story ❤️

Generations collided in a fabulous way when the Westminster Senior Living community in Austin, Texas, celebrated National Centenarians Day on September 22nd. They not only focused on the lives of their seven centenarian residents (ages 100 to 104), but also added a little twist: they brought in three local high school students to give some of them lovely, fresh makeovers.

The idea, of course, was to celebrate the long, storied lives of the residents. But it was also to share kindness and wisdom between the seniors and the high school children, each with poignant stories to share.

Two students, Naomi Hinrichs and Rishika Jakka, took part in the nonprofit organization GlamourGals through LASA High School (the Liberal Arts and Science Academy) in Austin, Texas. In a video shared with Upworthy, they talked about how much fun they have visiting the residents. Hinrichs relayed, “We do their nails and makeup. And it’s always so much fun to see the same people every month. And we get to learn a little more about their lives and talk to them.”

Jakka, a high school junior, shares, “We’ve become friends with some of the residents, and it’s really nice to keep those relationships up.”

The monthly meet-up is just as meaningful to the older adults as it is to the teens. Hinrichs notes, “I’ve gotten better and better at engaging with them and figuring out how to talk to them. And it’s always so much fun to come here.”

Jakka adds, “And if they don’t want their nails and makeup done, we also play games and read books.”

What a show! ✨

We had a wonderful evening enjoying a performance by the talented dancers from The Shirley McPhail School of Dance! We loved having them at Westminster and seeing all that talent take the stage!

What a night for a Westminster adventure! 💜

Residents headed out to the Travis Audubon Purple Martin Party to watch thousands of Purple Martins gather before beginning their migration south. It was an incredible sight and such a fun Austin experience to share together!

Join us tomorrow for Westminster’s Silent Auction! 💜
