JB Menold

JB Menold, Independent Living Resident of the Month, November 2024

– JB is one of the most selfless people you will ever meet. He brings fun and energy to the Goldton at Venice. A day in the life of JB would be working out at our gym or singing duets at karaoke! Staying active while having fun is the perfect lifestyle for JB. We are honored to have him here with us!

Visitors have unparalleled opportunities to observe wildlife in an intact ecosystem, explore geothermal areas that contain about half the world’s active geysers, and view geologic wonders like the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River.

From Your Maintenance Department

Staff, Bingo
Staff, Bingo

Our staff worked tirelessly to prepare for Hurricane Season, but one in particular was our Maintenance Director, Chris. Shoveling and filling sandbags, helping residents bring in the patio articles, securing windows and doors plus some. Many employees stayed onsite to weather the storm together and keep our residents safe and calm during the stressful few days. Chris certainly was at the ready when the power went out and we needed extension cords or backup power and even towels when the rain was trying it’s best to get in. The next day, the sun was starting to shine, everyone was tired and worn out, but Chris stayed until our power was restored. When all was said and done, The Goldton at Venice had minimal damage compared to our neighbors just a few miles to the coastline and what did he volunteer to do the following weekend? Be the favorite Bingo caller for the masses. Thank you for all you do for us, we appreciate you.

Assisted Living | Resident of the Month

Dorothy Roeder

Dorothy Roeder, Assisted Living Resident of the Month, November 2024 | |The Goldton at Venice

One of our kindest, most thoughtful residents here in assisted living. She is here with her husband, Russell who helps look after her and takes care of her. Russell and Dorothy have both traveled quite a bit throughout their years together. Russell was in the army while Dorothy is a retired registered nurse. A day in the life of the Roeders would be watching wheel of fortune and jeopardy together and unwinding with some old timer music.
