On Tuesday, Sept. 1, Vicar\u2019s Landing celebrated the completion of the Oak Bridge campus expansion with a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Laurel Oak Assisted Living and Willow Oak Montessori-Inspired Lifestyle Memory Care neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Vicar\u2019s Landing is a life plan community that offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, home and health and wellness programs.<\/p>\n
The ceremony recognized Laurel Oak Assisted Living and the Charlie & Yvonne Goldsmith Center, which recognizes the Goldsmiths\u2019 generous commitment to the future of memory care. Because of their generosity, families will be able to benefit from meaningful engagement and purpose-driven programming for years to come.<\/p>\n
Guests were able to tour the soon-to-open residences, meet Vicar\u2019s Landing team members, community partners and providers, and learn more about Vicar\u2019s Landing’s expanded assisted living and memory care.<\/p>\n
The Charlie & Yvonne Goldsmith Center at Willow Oak introduces a Montessori-inspired approach to memory care that focuses on what individuals can do rather than what they can\u2019t do. Through its partnership with the Center for Applied Research in Dementia (CARD), Vicar\u2019s Landing trains team members based on the principles of Dr. Maria Montessori. This model recognizes each person\u2019s abilities, preferences, relationships and sense of purpose while also creating opportunities for meaningful living.<\/p>\n
\u201cLaurel Oak and Willow Oak represent more than an expansion of our campus. They represent our commitment to redefining how senior living supports purpose, dignity, connection, and meaningful living,\u201d said Bruce Jones, CEO of Vicar\u2019s Landing. \u201cFrom the innovative Montessori-inspired lifestyle approach at Willow Oak and expanded outpatient wellness services to the welcoming residential setting at Laurel Oak, these new communities reflect our vision for helping older adults continue to live exceptionally. We are also deeply grateful to Charlie and Yvonne Goldsmith for their generosity to The Vicar\u2019s Landing Foundation, and the lasting impact on future generations of members and families.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Sylvie McCarthy On Tuesday, Sept. 1, Vicar\u2019s Landing celebrated the completion of the Oak Bridge campus expansion…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":395764,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[116,118,117],"class_list":["post-395763","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=395763"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395763\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/395764"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=395763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=395763"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=395763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
