Hanging Out At Glenstone
For me, one of the joys of working at Roland Park Place, and running the Programs and Special Events Department, is hanging out with those individuals who are of a certain age.
Notice I am careful with my labeling because I know some people are easily offended by specific terms – senior, older person, retiree, etc., therefore, I do not want to offend anyone. I am not an ageist, nor am I offended by the terms senior, older person, and others. I will be 61 soon, and younger people in my community already consider me a senior. Today’s seniors are rocking it, but I digress. And, by the way, I like the phrase, “I am Old Soul Material.” Now that I have that out of the way, I can get back to the main purpose of this post, which is about celebrating the company I work for, and the people who bring me joy.
I don’t really need to remind myself, but I do occasionally like to gush and brag about the retirement community where I work. The truth must be told, “We are a fabulous community.” Now that you have read that, I know you want to know what makes us wonderful. I can easily sum that up in a few sentences.
We have visionary leadership. Our employees are kind. The social connections between leadership, residents and employees are meaningful, thoughtful. We are welcoming to our visitors. We are located in the city, which I am told by many of our residents makes them feel more connected, independent, and engaged. We go on many awesome trips that take us to different cities and states. And with that said, thank you Roland Park Place for being the best!
The photos in this post are from our Friday trip to the Glenstone Museum. We had a lovely time. I was going to describe the photos, but they speak for themselves.
True confidence needs no speech. Quality speaks for itself. – paerki
