Simpson at Jenner's Pond

This month we hosted a series of Grand Openings for our Memory Garden at Jenner's Pond.    This marks a significant milestone in our Innovation Project and were delighted that donors and residents gathered to tour the beautiful grounds. Before you know it, we will be hosting another garden event so stay tuned for more info...

We are proud to announce that 36 scholarship awards were given to Jenners Pond employees this weekend. This was made possible through the generosity of donors to the Jenners Pond Employee Scholarship Fund in partnership with The Simpson Foundation. These 36 recipients, ranging from teenagers to adults, will use the scholarships to continue their education, significantly transforming their futures and opening new doors of opportunity. “Thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, we can invest in the futures of our employees,” said Jim Clancy, executive director of the Jenner's Pond. “The Employee Scholarship Fund allows us to recognize and nurture the talent within our community, ensuring our residents receive the highest quality of care.” Congratulations to this year’s recipients!

Please join us for the 2024 Jenner's Pond Employee Scholarship Awards Ceremony on Saturday, July 13th at 2:00 pm.   This year the Jenner’s Pond Employee Scholarship Committee will award 36 scholarships via the Simpson Foundation’s Employee Scholarship Fund.   We hope you will join us to celebrate this year's recipients!

Coordinating with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, we celebrated National Nutrition Month at Jenner's Pond a little differently... This year, we hosted a 'Beyond The Table' nutrition tabling event outside the Cattail Cafe where our in-house dietitian Morgan Watterson Skatz offered nutritional pamphlets emphasizing healthy snacking, gave out prizes, and handed out sample smoothies. The flavor options were 'Pineapple Banana Turmeric' & Spinach.

Springtime creativity bloomed at Jenner's Pond with our Easter Stamping class! Residents crafted delightful greeting cards, spreading joy and festive spirit throughout our community. 🌼🐣 #EasterCrafts #SeniorLivingFun

Nick, the resident Sous Chef at Jenner's Pond was voted as the winner in a friendly Chef Showdown competition earlier this week at Jenner's Pond. He and Drew, the Executive Chef, created unique dishes from surprise ingredients and were judged on flavor, taste, texture and presentation. An energetic but humble winner, Nick credited Drew with teaching him how to run a kitchen with efficiency and compassion for our residents. Congrats, Nick!

Yesterday we hosted an electrifying brunch full of culinary delights where two of our chef maestros engaged in a friendly Chef Showdown to craft the ultimate dish while an audience of esteemed foodies determined the victor. You've been waiting on bated breath, but here are the results! We hope you enjoy both the sizzle and spectacle as these skilled chefs battled for culinary supremacy.
