ALL SEASONS SENIOR LIVING PRESENTS WINTER ISSUE 2026 FOR THE JOYS OF SENIOR LIVING

YOUR SEASON

Sharing Our Passion for Exceptional Living

Greetings,

As we welcome a new year, there is something meaningful about turning the page together. A new calendar brings a sense of renewal and offers us the opportunity to reflect on where we have been while looking ahead with optimism.

The beginning of a new year is not about reinventing ourselves overnight. It is about embracing possibility and setting intentions that add purpose to our days. That may mean trying a new fitness class, joining a discussion group, reconnecting with a friend, or simply slowing down to appreciate the everyday moments that bring us joy. Growth often comes through steady and intentional steps forward rather than dramatic change.

Within our communities, a new year also reflects our continued commitment to excellence. We remain focused on delivering exceptional service, fostering meaningful connections, and creating an environment where every resident feels supported, engaged, and truly at home. We are continually investing in programs, experiences, and team development to ensure that the year ahead builds upon the strength of the past.

None of this would be possible without the extraordinary team members who serve our residents each day. Their compassion, professionalism, and warm smiles are the heartbeat of our communities. Whether providing care, preparing meals, leading activities, maintaining our buildings, or offering a kind word of encouragement, they play an essential

role in creating a joyful and fulfilling lifestyle. We deeply appreciate their commitment and the positive difference they make in the lives of those we serve.

For residents, this is a time to deepen friendships, explore new interests, and take full advantage of the vibrant lifestyle around you. For those considering joining us, we look forward to welcoming you into a community designed to provide comfort, enrichment, and peace of mind.

The year ahead holds opportunity for laughter, learning, connection, and personal fulfillment. While we cannot predict every moment, we can choose to approach each day with gratitude and confidence.

Here’s to a year filled with health, happiness, and new possibilities for us all.

Warm

Jason Kohler

regards Jason Kohler, Executive Vice President, Senior Living

Community in Action

Neighbors Helping Neighbors

All Seasons Naples was proud to participate in a food drive benefiting Harvest Time Ministries of Bonita Springs. The community was grateful for the opportunity to come together and support neighbors in need through the donation of essential food items, reinforcing the spirit of compassion and generosity. Harvest Time Ministries serves farm workers and low-income families throughout the Bonita Springs area, offering vital food assistance and support to individuals and families facing challenging circumstances. As a 501(c)(3) interdenominational nonprofit organization, their mission focuses on meeting immediate needs while uplifting the community with dignity and care. We are thankful to everyone who contributed to the food drive and helped make a meaningful difference. Through collective efforts like these, All Seasons Naples continues to strengthen the connection to the greater community and support organizations that create positive, lasting impact.

Supporting Youth in Our Community

Residents at All Seasons Ann Arbor came together to create handmade crafts in support of Ozone House, transforming creativity into meaningful contributions for a vital local cause. Proceeds from the handcrafted items benefited Ozone House, the only agency in Washtenaw County providing free, confidential, and voluntary shelter and support services for homeless, runaway, and high-risk youth ages 10–24, as well as their families. This initiative highlights the generosity of the All Seasons Ann Arbor community and their ongoing commitment to making a positive impact beyond campus.

Diverse Dimensions of Art

Moving Target: Photography Between Modern and Contemporary Art

March 12, 2026

Photographs hang in museums, and art schools train photographers. It seems clear that photography has claimed a permanent place in art and art history—but the story is, in some ways, a recent one, unfolding during a period of radical changes in art itself. From the G.I. Bill to the present, this presentation traces photography’s winding path through a rapidly shifting era.

Brendan Fay is an associate professor of art history in the School of Art and Design at Eastern Michigan University. He is the author and curator of Photography as a Way of Life: Minor White, Aaron Siskind, and Harry Callahan, a book and exhibition about teaching, learning, and living photography in the postwar United States (forthcoming April 2026). Fellowship at the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore.

Juilliard Gluck Community Fellows: Duet of Air

In collaboration with The Juilliard School Thursday, March 5, 1:00 pm

Join Juilliard Fellows Brooke Walden and Becca Nelsen for a heartfelt musical journey celebrating music’s power to connect, comfort, and inspire. Featuring classical works, pieces by women composers, and beloved favorites like "Danny Boy", this performance invites you into a shared moment of joy, connection, and friendship.

Resident Spotlight

A Journey Around the World, From Australia to Iceland and Back

JAMES FRY

ALL SEASONS

ROCHESTER HILLS

James “Jim” Fry has resided at All Seasons Rochester Hills since 2023. Originally from Kansas, Jim served for 9 years in the Navy as a Naval Aviation Cadet (NavCad), including an assignment at the Naval Air Testing Facility in Lakehurst, New Jersey. After his discharge, he began a career with General Motors - even working at the 1964 World's Fair in New York!

General Motors soon sent Jim overseas for 17 years, making up for his Navy days spent in the U.S. He worked in Brazil, Australia, South Africa, Germany, Israel, and finally Michigan with GM International.

Australia was his favorite—he loved its people, diverse climates, and stunning landscapes. While there, he oversaw all GM operations in Southeast Asia, including South Korea and China. Some of his other favorite travel destinations include Madagascar and Iceland.

After decades in Arizona, where he and his wife Corinne bred horses, they have returned to Michigan, but still visit their horses nearly every week.

With a lifetime of adventure spanning the globe, Jim Fry brings a wealth of experience, perspective, and passion to All Seasons Rochester Hills. From reminiscing about favorite travels and managing horses in Arizona to engaging with the local Michigan community, Jim’s journey is a testament to curiosity, dedication, and a life truly well-lived.

Celebrating Five Years at All Seasons Oro Valley

In September 2025, All Seasons Oro Valley proudly celebrated its fifth anniversary—marking five years of growth, connection, and a community that has become a true home for residents and team members alike. Nestled in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains, All Seasons Oro Valley has established itself as a premier senior living community in Southern Arizona, known for its hospitality, thoughtful design, and strong sense of belonging.

Over the past five years, the community has evolved into something more than a place to live. As Executive Director Art Martin explains, “In my nearly three decades in senior living, I have never experienced a community with such a genuine sense of caring, for neighbors, for staff, and for one another, as what exists at All Seasons Oro Valley.”

To commemorate the milestone, All Seasons Oro Valley hosted a rededication celebration that brought together residents, team members, and local leaders. Oro Valley’s Mayor, several town council members, and representatives from the Oro Valley Chamber of Commerce joined the festivities, which included a champagne toast, elegant appetizers prepared by the culinary team, and reflections on the community’s first five years.

One of the most meaningful moments of the celebration came from resident Harry Haber. Harry and his wife, Elaine, were the very first residents to move into All Seasons Oro Valley. Harry also served

as the community’s first Resident Council President and remains a highly respected and beloved member of the community.

Today, residents enjoy not only the natural beauty surrounding the community, but also the connections that define daily life. From meaningful friendships to appreciation for the dedicated team, All Seasons Oro Valley continues to thrive.

Looking ahead, Art remains optimistic about what’s to come: “There’s an underlying happiness here—a feeling that people genuinely enjoy their lives and each other. I’m confident the next five years will be just as meaningful as the first.”

As All Seasons Oro Valley celebrates this milestone, the focus remains on what has always mattered most: community, care, and creating a place worth calling home.

Celebrating Full Capacity at Three Communities

We are proud to announce that three of our communities—All Seasons Ann Arbor, All Seasons Birmingham, and All Seasons Oro Valley—have reached 100% occupancy! This milestone is a testament to the welcoming environments, exceptional care, and vibrant lifestyles our communities offer.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our residents for making these communities so special. Your trust, engagement, and spirit are what make All Seasons a truly vibrant place to live. This achievement also reflects the dedication of our teams, whose hard work ensures every resident feels at home.

Reaching full occupancy inspires us to continue providing exceptional experiences and growing our supportive, close-knit communities for current and future residents alike.

Ready for Senior Living?

MAKING DOWNSIZING A SIMPLE STEP FORWARD

The decision to move into senior living isn’t one-sizefits-all. Some recognize the right time instantly, while others arrive there gradually as their home no longer aligns with their needs. Understanding readiness helps guide planning, reduce stress, and focus on the positive aspects of the next chapter.

For those who have already made the move, looking back often confirms that the timing was right. For others still considering senior living, clarity around readiness can shape the pace of the journey and help define practical next steps, beginning with preparing the home for what comes next.

When Should I Start Downsizing?

Planning makes downsizing smoother. There’s no single timeline; some people begin a year in advance, while others may move within months or weeks. What matters most is having a plan that fits your situation. Many residents and prospective residents work with a Senior Move Manager, a professional who helps

plan and coordinate senior living transitions. Steffanie Porter, Senior Move Manager and owner of TidySmart Organizing Solutions, explains, “Move Managers often offer complimentary consultations to assess timing, outline each step, and create a roadmap to make the move organized and stress-free.”

Deciding What to Bring

A common concern is whether furniture and belongings will fit comfortably in the new apartment.

Steffanie shared, “Move managers utilize floor plans for the new apartment and map how items can be arranged. This helps residents visualize the space and make confident decisions before moving day. Move managers can also help coordinate what to sell, donate, or share with family, keeping downsizing organized rather than rushed.” Downsizing doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. With thoughtful planning and the right support, it can become a manageable and even an empowering step toward a lifestyle that better fits the needs of today. Whether just beginning

to explore senior living or actively preparing for a move, taking the time to plan can ease stress and help focus on what matters most— feeling comfortable and confident in this next chapter.

At All Seasons, we support residents and future residents through every stage, before, during, and after a move. Even those who have already settled in can access guidance, resources, and reassurance for any transition, big or small. With the right support, moving to All Seasons or managing ongoing life transitions can feel less stressful and more like the exciting beginning it’s meant to be.

THE VALUE TEST

Would it be expensive or hard to replace?

Is it in good condition (or worth repairing)?

Active Living in Every Season

Winter’s cooler days don’t have to slow us down, especially when it comes to wellness. Staying active is one of the most impactful ways older adults can support their health, independence, and overall quality of life year-round. And the latest data reinforces just how important movement really is.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), adults aged 65 and older who engage in regular physical activity can reduce their risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline. Yet only about 14% of seniors currently meet both the recommended aerobic and muscle-strengthening activity guidelines. That means there’s a significant opportunity—and real benefit—to keep moving this winter.

Health experts recommend 150 minutes of moderateintensity activity each week, along with strengthbuilding and balance-focused exercises. These activities play a key role in maintaining mobility, improving confidence, and reducing fall risk, particularly during the winter months when activity levels tend to decline.

At All Seasons, we make winter wellness both enjoyable and accessible. From group walking sessions and gentle stretching classes to balance-focused activities and low-impact strength training offered in warm, inviting spaces, we’re committed to helping residents stay active, connected, and confident—even when it’s cold outside.

Movement doesn’t need to be intense to be effective. Small, consistent routines can boost energy, elevate mood, and strengthen social connections. As always, we encourage residents to coordinate any new or ongoing wellness routines with their physician to ensure activities are appropriate, safe, and aligned with individual health needs. Because wellness isn’t just about staying active—it’s about living well, every season.

Set your intentions for a healthy, active winter

MOVE YOUR BODY

❏ Take a short indoor walk or walk laps in the hallway or community space

❏ Join a balance, stretching, or low-impact strength class

❏ Try chair yoga or gentle mobility exercises

❏ Bundle up and enjoy a brisk outdoor walk on a clear winter day

Use this mini goal-setting activity to bring your wellness journey to life. Choose at least one goal from each category—or write your own— and check them off as you complete them.
