Residents were treated to a delicious array of foods consisting of hot dogs, cheeseburgers, meatballs, rice, seafood salad, baked beans, green beans, potato salad, and deviled eggs. Refreshing watermelon and sweet cupcakes were served for dessert.
The event brought together the children and grandchildren of those residing at the community to learn more about the historical significance of the holiday. A key highlight of the afternoon was an informative and compelling Juneteenth presentation prepared by resident Darlene Gilbert. Residents also received a Juneteenth-themed trinket as a giveaway gift.
The residents also had the pleasure of surprising one of their new fellow neighbors by celebrating her June 19 birthday with her family.
The resident’s contribution added depth and meaning to our gathering, reminding us of the importance of reflection, recognition, and continued progress.
Special thanks goes out to Senior Property Manager Nikki Jackson, Maintenance Supervisor Robert Fisher, Maintenance Apprentice Rodell McLaughlin, and Resident Services Manager Michele Mitchell who worked together to host a warm and welcoming cookout for all to enjoy.

which honored the residents with an evening of celebration, community, and phenomenal fashion.
Upon entry, residents were interviewed as they walked the red carpet and expressed what they were looking forward to during the awards, along with the designer they selected to wear. One resident said he was wearing a Givenchy suit and mentioned that he was excited to see all the winners.

Two surprise awards were given to residents that go above and beyond for their neighbors with gestures of kindness, including either making runs to the grocery store or numerous visits to ill neighbors.
The event concluded with music, dancing, and heartfelt gratitude to Coldspring's site associates for an elegant and exceptional event.

When 67% of residents expressed an interest in health and wellness programs in Enterprise's most recent needs assessment, Park View at Ellicott City I & II responded with action. In June, the communities partnered with Giant Pharmacy to host on-site vaccine clinics bringing essential care directly to residents.
With a focus on accessibility and preventative care, the clinics brought a full range of vaccines and booster immunizations to residents by removing barriers like a lack of transportation or limited access to regular healthcare providers.
To ensure a smooth and organized experience, separate clinics were held in each building, minimizing wait times and making participation easy. Giant Pharmacy provided a range of vaccines including COVID-19 boosters, pneumonia, Tdap, Shingrix (shingles), RSV, and Hepatitis B. The use of the community room as the clinic site was both convenient and efficient, an arrangement many residents appreciated for its convenience.
As a senior community with a rich diversity of backgrounds, including a significant Korean-speaking population, Enterprise was especially pleased with Giant Pharmacy's commitment to inclusivity. The presence of a bilingual pharmacist helped ensure all residents felt informed and supported throughout the process, removing language barriers to care.
All interested residents had the opportunity to receive the vaccine of their choice, and the event was met with enthusiasm and gratitude. By making preventative care accessible and culturally responsive, Park View at Ellicott City continues to prioritize the health and well-being of its residents.
Special thanks to Giant Pharmacy for their partnership, and to our dedicated resident services and property management teams for coordinating successful clinics and bringing wellness within reach for residents.

Enterprise kicked off summer with community, connection, and carefree fun!
Residents living at Columbia communities enjoyed a Safety & Wellness Summer Kick-Off event hosted by the teams supporting Legacy at Twin Rivers.
Designed to bring residents together and promote a fun, safe, and healthy start to the season, the event offered something for everyone—kids, adults, and families alike.
Young residents had a blast climbing aboard motorcycles with our local police and fire departments, diving into interactive video games, cooling off with snow cones, and getting their faces painted. Their joy and excitement set the tone for an afternoon of community spirit.
Adults connected with a wide range of community partners offering wellness resources, safety tips, and workforce development opportunities.
The excitement didn’t stop there—residents had the chance to win incredible raffle prizes including crockpots, wireless headphones, and even a big-screen TV! The raffle was a big hit and helped end the afternoon on a high note.
Whether through laughter, the sharing of new information and resources, or simply enjoying a sunny afternoon with shaved ice and good friends, the day reminded us of the importance of connection, support, and summer fun.
Special thanks to our dedicated community partners who helped make the day such a success:

Two weeks ago, residents at Park View at Laurel came together with local partners to breathe new life into the community garden. The restoration was led by (LARS)Laurel Advocacy & Referral Services, a longtime partner known for distributing food to residents through monthly deliveries. This time, their mission grew—literally—through a new initiative called Project G.R.O.W.
Short for Gardening to Reduce Our Worries, Project G.R.O.W. was designed to support food security while offering residents the chance to grow healthy, nourishing produce right at home. Through hands-on learning, residents volunteered their time to help rebuild the garden space, learning valuable gardening techniques and skills along the way.
During the restoration, LARS, Project G.R.O.W. staff, and resident volunteers installed trellises on Earth Boxes to prepare for vining plants. The energy was vibrant, and the excitement was shared by all—this wasn’t just a garden project, but a step toward wellness, connection, and sustainable community growth.
A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who participated and contributed their time, energy, and expertise to make this restoration possible. Your efforts continue to help the Park View at Laurel community grow, in every sense of the word.

soothing music and chatting with friends. In celebration of Mother's Day and in honor of all the incredible women in their community, the team at Park View at Randallstown treated residents to a special afternoon of painting, laughter, and connection.
Each artist received a canvas featuring the image of a beautiful woman to paint, along with an easel, smock, brushes, paint trays, and their choice of colors to create a piece they could proudly display in their apartment homes. The ladies complimented fellow tablemates throughout the afternoon, ensuring that everyone in attendance appreciated each artistic creation.
To accompany the activity, a delicious lunch was served including a variety of sandwiches, potato salad, coleslaw, cupcakes and sparkling cider. As a thoughtful surprise, each participant received a gift bag courtesy of the community's dedicated site.
“As a token of our appreciation, they were given hand lotion and chap stick," said Property Manager Corrine Sye. “Each lady expressed their gratitude and happiness and stated how this was a relaxing and stress-relieving event.”

talent party. A colorful banner with “fiesta" and special lighting welcomed residents to the community room and set the tone for a festive and delightful event.
Chicken and beef tacos, nachos with salsa and spinach dip, and virgin daiquiris were served to perfection by the community's team. Residents raved about the tasty tacos and sides with compliments to the chefs – Coldspring's site associates!
"We enjoy providing exciting events for residents to enjoy," exclaimed Property Manager Monique Oden!
For the talent portion of the afternoon, residents were invited to color Cinco de Mayo photos and decorate their own pair of maracas to shake in rhythm with music during the afternoon. Several games of pin the maraca on the cactus were played until one lucky winner won a nice bullet blender!
”Management does the best activities for us," shouted resident Ms. Yvonne Cannon.
Special thanks to Oden, Assistant Property Manager Neicy Bowser and the Park View at Coldspring team. We truly hope the site associates were able to provide an enjoyable Cinco de Mayo holiday.
