‘ Strength of Community’ Shines at Front Porch Retirement Communities

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the strength of community is best exemplified at Front Porch retirement communities like Kingsley Manor, Villa Gardens, Claremont Manor and Walnut Village.

Located throughout Los Angeles and Orange counties, these Front Porch communities are built on a culture of innovation and creativity. Throughout this pandemic, we have taken proactive steps, informed by CDC guidelines, in order to protect our residents, families and staff. Considering the enhanced safety measures our communities are taking as well as the sense of belonging many residents experience, living here may be a better option than living in your current home. Working and living within safety protocols, our residents and staff have truly shined. During this time, services are not limited, but in many cases, creatively extended in order to keep our residents well cared for, protected and engaged. Chef- prepared meals are delivered to residents’ front doors and physically distant outdoor dining options have begun. Engagement opportunities have not stopped. We all want to stay active and healthy as we age. What a better way to do so than to have dozens of virtual and physically distanced life enrichment opportunities available on a daily basis that engage the body, mind and spirit. These opportunities have not diminished in the face of this health crisis, but have merely changed and often flourished! By leaping into the virtual world, residents have enjoyed web chat and conferencing services, as well as voicefirst apps, all widely used at Front Porch communities. These technologies have become a key way to talk with residents and have residents keep in touch with loved ones as well as to offer them instruction and entertainment. COVID- 19 is likely to be with us for many months to come and possibly longer. Unfortunately, major life decisions cannot always be put on hold. As a not- for- profit organization, our mission is focused on making life better for our residents, now more than ever during this pandemic.
