Retirement Garden Plaza of Post Falls M
oving to a retirement commu- nity doesn’t mean settling for
a sterile, cookie cutter environment. As general manager Brian Teed aptly describes it, living at Garden Plaza of Post Falls is like going on vacation to a mountain lodge. Boosting well over 300 units, Gar-
den Plaza offers independent living, assisted-living and skilled nursing care. Opened in November of 2009, they are the flagship community in the western half of the United States for Century Park Associates, which helps seniors live active, vibrant lives at some 45 properties across the country.

Good SamaritanSociety - Spokane Valley G
ood Samaritan Society is actively involved and dedicated to making
the Good Samaritan Community and surrounding area a wonderful place to live. The mission of their campus and residents is to serve the community through projects involving the residents. Residents participate in Meals on
Wheels, and a group of residents make blankets for Shriner’s Hospital and the YWCA Transitional Housing project. When the group drops off the blankets, the joy that their project brings is better than any arthritis medication that can be taken. In fact, a grant was written for $1,000 from Good Samaritan Society Social Accountability for more material and supplies, so that even more blankets can be made. Every Wednesday and Friday after-
noon, residents enjoy fellowship while creating these blankets. A number of women from Independent and Assisted

Living, as well as the Care Center, come together every other Thursday to knit. The group has discussed the pos- sibilities of also making caps or blankets for newborns. Two
groups of residents
work with local school kids on their reading,
letter writ-
ing and socialization skills. Another recent project was to send Christmas cards and small gifts to service men and women that couldn’t be home for the holidays. During the upcoming year they will be working on projects for the Union Gospel Mission and Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery. Suffice it to say, there’s never
a dull moment at Good Sa- maritan Society. And that’s just how they like it.
