Associate of the Month

Aidyl Medina

Since the day Aidyl joined us as part of our clinical staff, she has shown great compassion and dedication in caring for our residents. She loves spending time doing activities with them and always makes sure that everyone feels well cared for. For us, it is truly an honor to have her as part of The Canopy family.

Aidyl, your kindness, commitment, and passion for what you do inspire us all. Thank you for reminding us every day that true care goes beyond duty it comes from the heart.

German Music Legacy

Alexa, play Beethoven’s Symphony Number 9, Opus 125, Second Movement, Molto Vivace.

The second movement of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony bursts with restless energy and rhythmic drive. Marked Molto Vivace, it contrasts the solemn grandeur of the opening with a lively scherzo full of syncopated pulses and dramatic turns. By the time he composed this masterpiece (1822–1824), Beethoven was almost completely deaf, yet his imagination transcended silence, giving the world music of unparalleled vitality. The scherzo’s bold rhythms and jubilant spirit showcase Beethoven’s genius for combining structure and passion, paving the way for the symphony’s monumental choral finale.

Assisted Living Week

What an AMAZING week we had celebrating National Assisted Living Week!

We traveled back in time through
the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s.

With games, laughter, and so much fun, we shared unforgettable moments with our wonderful residents.
Because every decade brings special memories, and we celebrate them all together!

Welcome to Germany
Around the World with Atlas

Germany’s history stretches back to ancient tribes such as the Saxons, Franks, and Goths, whose resilience left a mark on Europe’s foundations. From the crowning of Charlemagne in 800 AD to the rise of the Holy Roman Empire under Otto I, the medieval period saw the growth of a diverse cultural and political landscape. Moments of transformation, like Martin Luther’s Protestant Reformation, sparked new ideas that influenced the world far beyond Germany’s borders.

In the centuries that followed, the rise of Prussia and the eventual German unification in 1871 brought together a patchwork of regions into a modern and power nation.

Though the 20th century was marked by hardship and division, after two awful wars, Germany was in ruin and divided by a wall, years of division goes by until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the re-unification of Germany opened the path to a new chapter. Today, Germany stands as a symbol of resilience and renewal—celebrated for its music, philosophy, literature, and innovations, as well as its role as a cultural and economic leader in Europe.

At The Canopy at Beacon Woods, we are committed to providing compassionate and person-centered care. Opportunities like this strengthen our knowledge and remind us of the importance of patience, empathy, and understanding in everyinteraction.

Back to the Wild West!

We traveled back to the Wild West! Our amazing staff and wonderful residents celebrated Western Day. There were boots, cowboy hats, and lots of fun. Nothing beats seeing smiles shining to the rhythm of country music and the true Western spirit!
Yeehaw!
