A great moment!

What a performance 👏👏👏

Spooky, silly, and full of smiles! Our residents brought Halloween magic to life in our annual Halloween Parade, marching through the dining room in costumes ranging from Merlin to Cleopatra, witches, a train conductor, a butterfly, and even a buzzing bee & beekeeper duo! 🧙‍♂️ 🐝🦋

It’s always a treat to celebrate with so much creativity and fun. Happy Halloween from The Woodlands! 🎃👻

Fun times!

In our blog series, What Is Your Story, we feature amazing resident journeys—and Carol Christensen’s story is one to remember!

In 1959, Carol led a group through Central Europe, eventually hitching an unexpected ride on a Rhine River barge with two friends, thanks to some friendly locals and a spirit of adventure. It was an unforgettable journey filled with improvised communication, scenic riverside views, and a welcoming barge family who gave her a unique glimpse into life on the river. 🛳️🌍

Today, Carol’s life at The Woodlands is just as rich and full of stories. From connecting with friends online to enjoying our wooded trails, Carol embodies our never retire spirit.
