As we welcome 2026, I want to reflect on an exceptional year of progress, performance, and purposeful growth. Our achievements in 2025—expanding our occupancy, strengthening our financial position, and elevating the value we deliver, among others—are all grounded in one undeniable advantage: our people. This year reaffirmed a simple truth that when you bring together mission-minded and dedicated individuals who care deeply about the organization and one another, remarkable things happen.

We saw residents and employees across the organization embrace change with clarity, courage, and creativity. Whether it was adopting new technology, or modifying and enhancing the way we deliver services, each improvement made us stronger. Change can be challenging, but you proved that it can also be a catalyst for achievement when approached with openness and unity. Because of that, we start this year more agile, more aligned, and better positioned for long-term success.

As we look ahead, 2026 holds tremendous promise. We enter our 70th year with momentum—
talented teams, higher occupancy, strong finances, and ambitious strategic goals that reflect who we are. We will continue building systems that support excellence, strengthen our culture, and shape an environment where people can live their best life and build meaningful relationships. There is much to look forward to, and I am excited for what we will achieve together!

In this new year season, I want to acknowledge the deeper source of momentum that carries us forward: the spirit of hope and ambition that lives within this organization. Hope gives us the confidence to move forward even when the path is not always fully visible. Ambition gives us the drive to reach for our potential, not just settle for what is comfortable. When these two forces are paired together, they guide us to strive for excellence with humility, purpose, and gratitude, fueling progress that is both meaningful and lasting. Thank you for your dedication, passion, and perseverance throughout the year.

Here’s to a new year of growth, opportunity, and shared blessings.
