Recently, on a delightful December day, Walnut Village in Anaheim played the perfect host to the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). About 40 members gathered at this Orange County retirement community for their monthly meeting, while immersing themselves in a patriotic, holiday-themed luncheon, featuring classic American fare.

Celebrating Heritage and Giving Back in Orange County

The DAR’s presence at Walnut Village was marked by more than just its monthly meeting. Adding a charitable touch to the event, residents enjoyed a DAR-sponsored holiday bake sale, with proceeds going to local charities, many supporting veterans.

“Walnut Village bent over backward to make us feel welcome,” said Walnut Village resident Adelia Morrison, a DAR member with roots tracing back six generations to Colonial times. Her pride in Walnut Village’s hospitality reflects the community’s commitment to embracing groups, clubs and organizations significant to its residents.

A Legacy of Patriotism and Service

DAR is a non-profit organization founded in 1890, dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history and ensuring America’s future through better education. These women, linked by ancestry to the nation’s early days, contribute millions of service hours annually in various community services, emphasizing support for military personnel and veterans, educational scholarships and aid to underserved schools. This dedication mirrors the character of the best retirement communities in California, with Walnut Village being a leading example.

A Campus of Comfort and Engagement

Walnut Village isn’t just a host for events; it’s a contemporary community inspired by the traditional “public square,” ranking it among the best senior living communities in California. It’s a place where residents engage in everyday living amidst shop-lined, open spaces. The campus features three distinct courtyards, an indoor state-of-the-art fitness and aquatic center, putting green, a serene garden, a lively lounge, a performing arts center and a center for lifelong learning, offering an abundance of life-enrichment programming. Whether it’s a peaceful stroll, a happy hour chat, or an invigorating fitness session, Walnut Village caters to every mood and interest.

Diverse Living Options and Specialized Care

At Walnut Village, accommodations range from spacious apartments to charming cottages, each reflecting the diversity and choice expected from only the best retirement communities in Southern California. The community ensures that you’re always a stroll away from amenities like morning coffee, pottery classes, fitness and aquatics, yoga, and fine dining, just to name a few. For those needing extra assistance, the Truly Yours program offers personalized assisted living, while Summer House provides specialized care for residents with Alzheimer’s and related dementias.

Through Front Porch Communities Foundation’s Circle of Friends funds, neighbors extend their care and assistance to one another when they need it most. Since the very first Front Porch communities opened their doors, residents and their family members have shown their support for the Circle of Friends through annual contributions and gifts made through wills or estate plans.

Front Porch communities support and celebrate the Circle of Friends in various ways. Recently, residents at five Front Porch communities came together for a special dinner aimed at raising awareness and support for the Circle of Friends. The Foundation collaborated with Morrison Community Living, the executive chefs from Spring Lake Village (Santa Rosa), St. Paul’s Towers (Oakland), Webster House (Palo Alto), San Francisco Towers and Walnut Village (Anaheim), as well as a committee of residents, to create a unique menu for the occasion. Residents gathered together, fostering new friendships, cherishing old ones and learning more about the Circle of Friends.

Other communities also place significant emphasis on resident assistance funds. Many Front Porch communities in Southern California educate residents during Philanthropy Week and engage in specific outreach efforts to raise funds for assisting those in need. The philanthropy committees are firmly engaged in the mission to ensure that residents who have outlived their resources receive the support they require.

The Circle of Friends resident assistance funds embody the compassionate spirit of a community that looks out for one another. The funds provide a safety net for residents facing financial difficulties and offer a sense of security and peace of mind. By fostering a strong sense of camaraderie and support, Front Porch communities continue to empower their residents to live fulfilling lives, knowing that they are part of a compassionate Circle of Friends.

Falls affect us all. The risk of falling increases with age. Falls are the leading cause of injury among older adults. If you slip, trip or fall, it could change your life. You could break a bone, take a trip to the hospital, be injured or develop a disability. Fear of falling may keep you from walking, shopping or taking part in social activities. Overcoming this fear can help you stay active, maintain your physical health and prevent future falls.

The good news is that there are simple ways and free online resources to reduce the risk of falling and help stay falls free. Here are some tips with hyperlinks on how to prevent most falls.

Exercise to Improve Your Balance and Strength

One easy way to prevent a fall is to improve balance and strength. The National Institute on Aging has tips on fitting EXERCISE AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY safely into daily life to help stay healthy as one ages. It also has tips with the right steps to take to PREVENT FALLS AND FRACTURES. Life enrichment and wellness directors offer many programs. Try walking, gardening, tai chi, yoga or whatever you enjoy.

Talk to Your Doctor or Pharmacist

Regularly review your medications and their side effects with your doctor or pharmacist. The National Council on Aging has a FALLS FREE CHECKUP that allows you to check your risk for a fall to help stay independent. Tell your doctor if you have fallen, even if not hurt. Get your vision and hearing tested. Ask a physical therapist about acquiring a walking aid if needed. Vitamin D and calcium can help keep your bones strong.

Make Your Home Safer

Make sure there are no cords, pet toys, loose rugs or excess furniture in your path. Clutter on your floors and around your home can make it more difficult to stay on your feet. Use the CDC STEADI initiative checklist to identify and ELIMINATE FALL HAZARDS in the home. Adequate lighting in hallways makes navigation easier. Ask an occupational therapist about a home safety evaluation.

Put in a request to add grab bars for the bathtub, shower and toilet if you think you need them.

Make Smart Choices

Be aware of personal abilities and limitations. Request help from someone for difficult or awkward tasks like retrieving objects on high shelves or carrying large or bulky items. The California Department of Aging’s FALL PREVENTION PROGRAM has fall and injury prevention education and information. Stand up slowly with your feet under you. Wear proper footwear. Don’t drink alcohol to excess.

Educate Yourself Today

Understanding fall risks is the first step to staying safer, reducing the risk of falling and helping stay falls free. Check out the free resources above for practical prevention solutions to do the right exercises, take proper care of yourself, make your home safer and ask for help when you need it.

After being shown around by the sales team, the Texas couple asked if they could explore Walnut Village on their own. As they strolled the community, several staff and residents struck up conversations.

“It was amazing,” Doug said. “The chef just happened to walk by us. Not recognizing us, he asked if he could help us find anything. The gardener did the same. But what really surprised us was when we told a resident we are considering moving in, he invited us into his home to show us his floor plan and asked if he could answer any questions about the community and lifestyle. That type of culture of caring is everywhere here and it comes from the top down. That made a big impact on us.”

After moving in three years ago to a two-bedroom, first-floor apartment with a patio view of the community’s Serenity Garden, the couple’s lives continued to blossom. Doug, a retired commercial pilot decided to learn billiards and enjoys a weekly lesson taught by an expert player. Ellen, a former educator and homemaker, loves to play cards like bridge and hand and foot (a game similar to canasta). New friends also introduced her to euchre, a card game popular in the Midwest, which she loves. The quilting group is her chance to catch up with friends while quilting for local charities. And a few years ago, the couple helped establish the monarch butterfly garden a few feet outside their home.

Doug works out in the fitness center while Ellen enjoys the indoor saltwater pool. “Swimming is very important to me,” she said. “That was a major factor in our decision to move here.” Ellen is also a member of the community’s Hospitality Committee, an opportunity for her to welcome new residents to the Village just as she and Doug were welcomed.

“That committee really fits my personality,” Ellen said. “I love meeting new people and making new friends.”

While Ellen is busy enjoying her interests, Doug is happy to volunteer as treasurer of the Resident Council and entertain fellow residents by singing in the Walnut Village Chorale.

The Bostons moved to Walnut Village from the Dallas suburbs after realizing their home was beginning to become a burden. They were looking for a nonprofit, continuing care retirement community.

“We wanted to live in a CCRC because once we moved here we did not want to move again,” Doug said. “We chose a nonprofit community because it matches our values of giving back to the community in which we live. The best part about it is that our son lives nearby.”

If there is one piece of advice the Bostons would give those looking to make a move to a senior living community, it would be not to wait too long.

“If you wait you may not have the vitality and stamina to enjoy all of the choices you will have, especially here at Walnut Village.”

Senior Director for Resident Experience Rebecca Johnson created the program to support residents’ connection to the community and to one another. “We feel a sense of place but don’t necessarily articulate it,” says Johnson. This program allows residents to gather over time “to capture in your words why you feel as you do.”

Each Front Porch community has its own unique geography, Johnson explains. “When we hear the word geography we think, ‘mountains, landscapes,’ which is certainly part of it,” she says. “But geography is also everything that humans build. When we wrote the program, we were intentional about discussing both the physical and social aspects of geography.”

Sense of Place provides a safe environment for people who may not normally speak up in the community to address concerns. “Sense of Place is outside of the committee or council structure,” says Johnson. “Sometimes residents are looking for a new way to share their voice, a less formal way beyond the surveys and the committees that are already in place.”

“I marvel at people who have the ability to come forward and speak their thoughts,” said one resident participant at Friends House in Santa Rosa. “It doesn’t come as naturally to me, but after listening to others, I feel I can talk like that. I feel comfortable here. I feel I’m in the right place.”

Jeannie Pressey, executive director of Spring Lake Village in Santa Rosa says that Sense of Place is “an additional opportunity to gain insight from the residents on what’s working well and what they would like to see improved.”

Unlike a resident survey that provides a quantitative snapshot of the community at a moment in time, Sense of Place collects qualitative information that “puts the how, why, and what together in one place,” explains Mary McMullin, chief advancement officer for Front Porch. “A survey will tell us you think your community is great. Sense of Place allows us to understand why you think it’s great. It helps us identify rather than guess about the true community that’s here.”

Because residents were speaking directly with someone in person or on Zoom “instead of simply filling out the boxes on a survey, I feel that they were more comfortable in sharing their viewpoints,” Pressey notes. “And their views were clearly communicated as opposed to checking a box that says ‘are you satisfied? 1, 2, 3.’ You get some context on what people are trying to say.”

The program was open to any residents who wanted to participate, and a range of residents chose to join. “Having new and long-term residents in the same setting was critical,” Johnson says. She notes that newer residents who may have only experienced their community in the wake of the COVID pandemic with its lockdown protocols have a very different perspective than long-term residents who can recall and explain a community’s traditions. Meeting together gave residents a broader perspective on what community feels like based on their individual experiences.

Johnson compiled insights gathered during each session into reports for each participating community’s executive director, incorporating resident feedback, key questions, and recommendations for follow-up programs. Mark Nitsche, who became the executive director of San Francisco Towers during the Sense of Place pilot program, read the reports as a way to became familiar with the community. They allowed him to “really listen to what people are saying,” he recalls.

“People believe the ED is the last word, but it’s collaborative,” Nitsche says. Sense of Place allowed residents “to be a voice for the community and how you want to see community going forward. The program builds a sense of awareness, a sense of hope, and a sense of belonging.”

After testing the program as a pilot project at three Front Porch communities in 2022, Sense of Place is preparing to launch in more communities this year and may later be developed for use beyond the Front Porch system. Johnson is also gathering a working group to develop a new program called ATLAS, designed specifically for the new resident experience.

“Sense of Place is an influencer in decision making,” Johnson says. “It’s a platform for prioritizing the things that mean the most to residents, and one of those priorities is how residents, especially new residents, develop a sense of belonging and attachment in community. ATLAS is our natural next step.

“I’ve learned so much from the resident participants by leading this program. Each community is unique, with its own sense of place. This program has helped me to understand at a deep level what’s important for residents in their particular community. I can’t wait to discover more as we move forward with Sense of Place.”

“We have residents from all professions and life experiences, said Walnut Village Executive Director Debbie Infield. “Their wealth of knowledge provides valuable input to Walnut Village.”

That’s why when researchers at the University of California, Irvine wanted to demonstrate new technologies to help vulnerable seniors stay safe during an earthquake and other common disasters, they turned to the volunteer, resident-run Earthquake Committee.

For several months, UCI researchers in computer science, geriatric medicine and nursing, as well as community partners in Orange County, the City of Anaheim and the Front Porch Center for Innovation and Wellbeing worked with Walnut Village as a community test case to develop CareDEX, a technology-enabled emergency response system. Both staff and residents were deeply involved and engaged with the project. 

Months before the demonstration, the CareDEX team interviewed Earth Quake Committee members about their procedures, specifically what they liked and what they felt could be improved. Interviewees included committee Chair Judy Phillips, who worked for years as part of a stress management team for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) where she supported FEMA employees deployed during natural disasters and other emergency situations like the 1994 Northridge earthquake.

“The biggest obstacle during drills was the time it took to physically locate residents on campus, who may be incapacitated, Judy said.”

During the CareDEX drill, which coincided with the International Great ShakeOut, a group of about 15 resident volunteers carried CareDEX electronic tracking devices the size of a cell phone for about a week leading up to the ShakeOut. Using GPS, it shows their current location. Their involvement helped the researchers learn how to digitally locate residents for staff and first responders. By the end of the drill, residents holding the devices were easily located throughout the campus, even in remote places.

“Disasters create a unique challenge for staff caring for older adults,” Debbie said. Medical and mobility issues create more complexity when trying to evacuate residents impacted by disasters and staff members benefit from the CareDEX technology for several reasons. CareDEX allows staff to quickly locate residents to get them to a safe location where medical care can be rendered if needed. Similarly, a resident with memory impairment may become further disoriented during a disaster, increasing the likelihood of an elopement. CareDEX would be a critical asset in staff quickly locating that resident.”

Earthquake Committee volunteers hold regular drills during which they appoint “block captains” who search for residents door-to-door during a simulated earthquake. CareDEX gives them and staff an additional tool.

“The CareDEX system has tremendous potential in locating individuals in a senior community following a disaster,” Judy said. “It was a fun and educational experience. Our residents’ involvement helped the CareDEX team refine the system.”

“From the moment I pulled into the driveway, I had a very warm feeling,” she said. “Even the exterior was very friendly, and it was exactly what I was looking for – a smaller, intimate community where I felt like I would get to know most people.”

Now that Joyce has made Walnut Village her home, she is free to pursue one of her biggest passions: traveling. Joyce feels that her love for traveling has gotten stronger since living at Walnut Village because it gives her the freedom to be able to leave the community and know that her household is being well cared for.

“I know that when I come back it’s going to be the same as I left it … but cleaner!” she laughed. She travels one week every month, noting that her favorite place she’s visited is “the next one!” And at Walnut Village she has the option of traveling with her fellow residents to destinations far and wide, all organized by the community’s Life Enrichment department.

Despite her jet-setting hobby, Joyce knows that coming home to Walnut Village means she’ll be able to enjoy one of her favorite aspects of the community: the residents. She finds the friendliness and acceptance of the residents to be outstanding. “It’s a melting pot of different people of different backgrounds, and I can relate to many of them,” Joyce said.

Joyce has also helped share a part of her culture with her fellow residents. She is very involved with her temple and was instrumental in having Rabbi Miriam from Temple Beth Tikvah host Walnut Village’s menorah lighting on the sixth night of Chanukah. “I was the one who contacted her,” Joyce said. “She is a friend of probably 45 years. We went to Israel together, so we go way back.”

Aside from making friends in her community, Joyce finds time to reconnect with her neighbors from her previous residence by playing mahjong. And at Walnut Village, she enjoys her duties as volunteer “block captain” of the community’s Earthquake Committee. She loves all that Walnut Village has to offer, including the wonderful food and desserts.

For those debating whether to move to Walnut Village, Joyce has just two words of advice: Don’t Wait. “Do it the minute you feel that you need to make a change in your life. This is a marvelous community and you can make it what you want,” she affirmed, noting that you can be as busy as you want or as solitary as you want. “The choice is yours.”

Her memoir shares the story about the interwoven threads among three generations of mothers — Kathie, her mother and her grandmother — their journeys from Poland to Illinois to California and the important lessons learned along the way. A 40-year journey of hope, sadness, laughter, excitement and many other emotions in between, is what made Kathie who she is today, a strong, confident woman who chooses to live at Walnut Village because it is a positive reflection of herself.

Kathie’s next metamorphosis took place following her husband’s death in 2015. To get over her sadness, she felt she needed to reinvent her identity and rediscover her passions. She took college classes, engrossed herself in landscape design and enjoyed hobbies like oil painting and crafting. She also began writing her memoir, an exercise that re-energized her life. But something was still missing. Kathie was living alone and yearned for more companionship and social connections.

“I was so lonely,” Kathie said. “I could not imagine continuing on this path so I started searching for a retirement community. I need to be around people. I checked out several but they all seemed very cold and hospital-like, except one … Walnut Village.” Kathie discovered Walnut Village after remembering a Walnut Village TV commercial that talked about how the continuing care retirement community celebrated individuality and how residents could be themselves no matter what their lifestyles. She soon visited and everything she saw and heard was true.

“During my first visit I felt such a connection,” Kathie said. “I’m a glass half-full kind of person, but when I moved to Walnut Village I realized my glass was brimming over. The residents and staff were so welcoming and warmhearted. I was so grateful for that. I had some doubts I could make a move like this but everyone here made it so easy. Walnut Village is more than a community, it’s truly a family. Making friends was so easy. I didn’t even have to try. Everyone is beyond friendly and helpful. I would actually say … inspirational. That inspiration has definitely rubbed off on me.”

Kathie loves oil painting and crafting, two hobbies she continues to enjoy at Walnut Village. Her friends are teaching her new card games and Mahjong. “After moving here I learned some new things and rediscovered a lot of old interests including landscape design,” she said. When Kathie moved into her two-bedroom garden apartment, the landscape surrounding it was basic. Knowing that Kathie was an experienced landscape designer, the Walnut Village landscape crew worked with her to customize just the right flora on and around her back porch.

She also joined the chorale. “I had not sung in 50 years and I do not read music, but the leader of the chorale told me it did not matter. She said if I liked music and enjoyed singing, I was welcome. No experience necessary. That’s what I call inclusivity!”

“Everyone has a story to share and if you can find your unique story to tell it’s a blessing,” Kathie said. “Writing this book was the first step to finding out who I am and coming to Walnut Village added to that journey.”

The post Seven Compelling Reasons Why You Should Make the Move to Walnut Village Today appeared first on Front Porch.

As a new resident, you’re sure to meet Wellbeing Director Ryan Fillingane shortly after your arrival. Ryan takes pride in explaining how to use the fitness equipment, is eager to learn all about your fitness goals, and ready to tailor a program to meet your unique needs. Or, if you wish, you can jump right in and use the equipment and pool at your leisure.

Ryan earned his bachelor of science degree in kinesiology with an emphasis in clinical exercise science from Cal State University Fullerton. He started at Walnut Village about a decade ago as a fitness coach and is now the Center’s director.

“Before coming to Walnut Village I had an internship at another senior living community and the experience of working with older adults was so great I wanted to make it my career,” Ryan said.

By working with older adults, Ryan knows the importance of how movement, of any kind, is a big contributor to continued well-being.

“My goal is to create a well-rounded program to meet all needs,” Ryan said. “Even if someone has limited abilities there is something they can do to move. For example, one of our more popular classes is chair volleyball. Residents stay seated but their upper bodies are moving. One of the many myths about exercise is that you need to spend hours in the gym for it to be beneficial. But actually, you can stay fit if you exercise for as little as 20 minutes a day. And you don’t need fancy equipment to do so. I can show you how.”

The Center also includes an indoor, master’s size saltwater pool and hot tub maintained year around to a warm 86 degrees for maximum comfort. Resident June Watanabe is an avid user of the Fitness and Aquatic Center. She enjoys walking, yoga and the balance class, among other activities.

“I like that the gym is so convenient, open 24 hours and has such a wide choice of classes,” June said. “Ryan provides a variety of challenges that help keep me fit.”

Other classes and programs offered include, water aerobics, chair exercises, stretch and flex, Zumba, Wii gaming, CyberCycle (an interactive recumbent bicycle), putting, weightlifting (with state-of-the-art, older adult-friendly pneumatic weight machines), health and well-being discussions and dance, just to name a few.

Other fitness activities include hybrids of exercises for the body and mind like the always popular scavenger hunt, during which residents search the community for hidden treasures. There’s also “walking Bingo,” which keeps residents on the move, listening for letter and number combinations after walking to different stations around the community.

“Exercise is always best when I can generate a lot of resident laughs and smiles,” Ryan said. “We offer easy, fun routines or more advanced, challenging workouts,” Ryan said. “Residents can participate as little or as much as they like. It’s all about choosing whatever fits you best at Walnut Village.”

If residents prefer, Ryan can work with them in a group setting, one-on-one, or even in the privacy of their own home.

“We’re here to help you with anything you need to support your well-being plan,” Ryan said. “It gives us an opportunity to get to know you, and for you to get to know us.”

For the well-being team, building strong relationships with residents is key. Knowing residents’ likes and dislikes and how they’re feeling from day to day helps the trainers modify an exercise regimen if necessary, or recommend something new.

“We will instruct residents on exercises to help alleviate current challenges and prevent future injuries,” Ryan said. “It’s all about helping the residents be the best they can be.”
