“There is something very special about the month of May in Assisted Living. It brings forward stories—stories of motherhood, family, resilience, and the many ways people have contributed to the lives of others. At Reformed Church Home, we are surrounded by individuals whose lives have been defined by love, dedication, and meaningful relationships.

Mother’s Day offers us a chance to celebrate those experiences, but also to recognize that the spirit of caregiving and connection continues every day within our community. Residents support one another, families remain closely connected, and our staff is deeply committed to creating an environment where each person feels valued and at home.

Memorial Day adds another layer of reflection, reminding us of the sacrifices made by so many. We honor those lives and experiences with gratitude. It is a privilege to lead a community where these stories are not only remembered, but actively lived and shared each day.”

Kate Shepard, Executive Director

May has a way of opening the heart.

In Assisted Living, it shows up in the stories—shared at the dining table, in quiet conversations, in laughter that echoes down the hall. Stories of raising children, building families, celebrating traditions, and living lives filled with purpose.

Motherhood, in all its forms, is deeply woven into the fabric of this community.

But what makes these moments so meaningful is not just the remembering—it’s the continuing. The friendships formed here. The support residents offer one another. The presence of family. The simple joy of being known.

Memorial Day brings a quiet pause. Many residents carry memories of service—either their own or through loved ones. These stories are honored with respect and gratitude.

Assisted Living at Reformed Church Home is about more than support—it’s about belonging.

And in May, that sense of belonging feels especially alive.
