Willie doesn’t come to Rock Steady Boxing because he’s training for a heavyweight title. He comes because he’s giving Parkinson’s a run for its money.

For Willie, every class is a commitment to keep moving. What started as an exercise program has become something much bigger: a community, a source of confidence, and a place where determination shows up again and again. The punches matter. The drills matter. But the real victory is showing up and refusing to let Parkinson’s define the next chapter.

Parkinson’s may have changed the fight, but for Willie, it doesn’t get the final round!

Fight Parkinson’s with Rock Steady Boxing - Edgewood Healthcare Rock Steady Boxing for Parkinson’s is more than exercise it’s movement, connection, and community. Building strength, confidence, and support one round at a time.

Teachers make up many of our residents. What makes it special is how they bring the same patience and understanding they once used in the classroom into everyday life here. So, while they may not have a lesson plan anymore… they’re still shaping the room, building connections, and making people feel seen.

Because they didn’t stop teaching. They just changed classrooms.

Hydration is daily care, simple, essential, and easy to overlook.

Drinking enough keeps kidneys healthy, energy up, and UTIs at bay. We make hydration a habit, woven seamlessly into daily life. A few sips with meals. With meds. Between activities. A favorite cup, a splash of lemon, whatever makes it easy and enjoyable.

Make it routine. Start early. Sip often. Keep it simple.

Meet Wanda. A nurse. A storyteller. A reminder that the heart of healthcare doesn’t retire.

Wanda spent 45 years at the bedside. Now, she’s on the other side of it. What started as a practical choice turned into a cross-country career full of one thing: people who mattered.

"We need a place for Mom… and Medicaid needs to start NOW."

If only it worked like that. Medicaid isn’t a sprint it’s a marathon with paperwork.

But planning early? That’s the game‑changer. Our teams walk families through the process long before the crisis moment hits.

Less chaos. More clarity. Better outcomes.

The Medicaid Conversation Families Are Having Too Late Many families start the Medicaid conversation when they’re already in crisis, but the process takes time. Understanding the basics and planning ahead can make all the difference when care is needed.

What an amazing turn out for our Easter lunch! We had such a great time enjoying some good food and drinks with some amazing sunshine! Lots of smiles! Thank you Ariel, Marshall, and our incredible care staff for making this all possible!❤️🐣

Different generations. Same heart. Turns out the generation gap isn’t as wide as we think. At Edgewood, volunteering has no age limit; it’s simply about showing up, pitching in, and connecting.

This National Volunteer Month, we’re celebrating everyone who brings their heart, humor, and willingness to help. Because, these are the moments where bonds are formed, wisdom is passed down, and joy shows up in the most unexpected ways.

The Bridge Between Generations At Edgewood, volunteering isn’t about age - it’s about heart. Join us this National Volunteer Month and see how giving back can brighten lives.

Ever wonder what a caregiver’s day really looks like?

It’s not just a job. It’s thousands of small moments that matter. Every day looks a little different, but it always centers around each resident, and it doesn’t always end when the shift does.

As we wrap up National Caregiver Appreciation Month, we’re reminded just how much heart goes into each day. At Edgewood, residents have been leading the way in showing that appreciation.

A Day in the Life of a Caregiver It starts early, moves quickly, and rarely slows down. A caregiver’s day is filled with compassion, patience, and moments that matter. Here’s a closer look at the life of a caregiver.

An assessment isn’t a test, it’s a conversation.
A chance to understand daily routines, preferences, support needs, and life goals in a relaxed, personal way.

It’s about people first, not paperwork. It’s the foundation for care that feels more personal, more thoughtful, and built around the person, not the process, and there’s more to it than meets the eye.

Your Guide to Senior Living Assessments: What to Expect and Why It Matters Understanding a senior living assessment doesn’t have to be intimidating—it’s a conversation to help match residents with the right care and support.
