Month’s Celebrations

Independance Day 4th

One of the most enduring symbols in the United States is the bald eagle—a majestic bird chosen in 1782 as the national emblem.

With its fierce gaze and powerful wingspan, the bald eagle represents strength, courage, and the soaring ideals of liberty that define the American identity.

Meet Nick our New Executive Director

As the Executive Director, Nick’s biggest goal is to make sure every resident at The Canopy at Beacon Woods truly feels at home. He lives by the motto, “We are guests in their home,” and that mindset guides everything he does.

Before finding his true calling in Senior Living, Nick worked in the restaurant industry. Now, with over 13 years of experience in the senior living field, he absolutely loves what he does. He takes pride in listening to residents’ thoughts, concerns, and suggestions and he’s always ready to find thoughtful solutions to any challenges that arise.

Nick was born in Munich, Germany, and made the move to sunny Florida when he was 18. He’s been happily married to his amazing wife for 14 years, and together they have three children: two stepchildren (ages 20 and 17), and a lively 5-year-old daughter. When he’s not at work, Nick loves spending quality time with his family—especially outdoors and at the beach.

Welcome to the United States of America
Around the World with Atlas

The United States of America is a vast and diverse nation, shaped by a bold spirit of freedom, innovation, and cultural fusion.

It has played a central role in shaping the modern world as we know it. The rise of Silicon Valley and the culture surrounding today’s tech giants is the result of a long legacy of American ingenuity and creative drive.
