Grand Village at Clear Creek offers luxurious senior living in Fayetteville. We're happy to share residents’ thoughts on the Thanksgiving season at Grand Village!
Susan: “I’m thankful for so much, starting with my family. I’m very thankful for my health. I had loving parents and a happy childhood. I love books, puzzles, games, the places I’ve lived, and the jobs I’ve had. I’ve learned how far a positive attitude takes you if you wake up with a smile.”
Beverly: “I’m most grateful for these friendships. We’ll be friends until the day the Lord calls us home. When I lost my son, people came to the funeral from here who had only known me 7 months. We love each other, no matter what. If you have a positive attitude, the circumstances can always be good.”
BJ: “The different occupations and professions that are represented by people here give you [much] to talk about. If you ask a question, you’ll get a pretty good answer. I’m not overly religious, but I go to church and believe in God. During my lifetime, I’ve believed with all my heart that God will provide through good and bad.”
Don: “When [my wife] passed away, I needed a place to live. Here, I do things I wouldn’t do if I still lived in Maumelle [Arkansas]: swimming classes, exercise, bus trips, casino once a month, all the museums. I’ve learned to accept things as they are. My mom taught me patience. If you have faith and believe, it’ll work out, and it’ll go a long way.”
Pattie: “Just this year, I’ve started thinking that [nature] is my brothers and sisters. And these people are my brothers and sisters. The pope said that everybody and everything are brothers and sisters. I’m also thankful that I’ve got a great closet. I love my clothes. I have this shirt that says ‘riding the ways of change gracefully.’ Change happens, and instead of fretting about what was, stay with what is happening and what will be."
