Solstice Senior Living at Mesa View

❤️🏁 WE ARE TRULY SPEECHLESS! 🏁❤️

Pictures simply do not do today justice!

Although the event time was shortened by a little more than an hour, we are truly sorry for that — but the turnout itself was HUGE, SUCCESSFUL, and absolutely BEAUTIFUL! What an incredible day!

From classic cars and trucks to motorcycles, different models, incredible builds, and so many amazing owners… my goodness, we were simply AMAZED! 🤩

40 amazing displays filled our community, and we cannot thank every single owner enough for bringing their pride and joy out for our residents and community to enjoy. You all helped make today something incredibly special. ❤️

And we have to give a HUGE SHOUTOUT TO OUR STAFF! 👏🏼

Today would not have happened without their hard work, dedication, teamwork, and willingness to jump in wherever they were needed. Watching our team es**rt guests from public parking over in a Can-Am, helping Paratransit safely navigate in and out of our parking lot, feeding everyone, helping our guests, keeping things moving, and doing whatever needed to be done — THAT is what makes this community so special.

The donations were an ABSOLUTE HIT, and we are beyond grateful for every person who contributed, participated, volunteered, attended, or simply showed up to support us. 🥰

To EVERYONE in the Grand Valley community — THANK YOU! From the bottom of our hearts, Mesa View is grateful for each and every one of you. ❤️

But most importantly…

📣 OUR NUMBER ONE FANS. OUR CHEERLEADERS. OUR RESIDENTS. 📣

They deserved every bit of this. Watching their faces light up, hearing their excitement, and seeing them enjoy the cars, the people, the food, and the energy of the day made every second worth it.

This wasn't just a car show.

It was community.
It was connection.
It was joy.
It was something our residents will remember. ❤️

Thank you, Grand Valley. Thank you, Wheels West Car Club. Thank you to our incredible staff. Thank you to every owner, volunteer, donor, guest, and supporter who helped make today possible.

From all of us at Solstice Senior Living at Mesa View — THANK YOU! 🏁❤️

Have a FANTASTIC WEEKEND, everyone! You helped make today one for the books! 🚗🏍️🔥❤️

✨ WHAT A WEEK IT HAS BEEN AT SOLSTICE SENIOR LIVING AT MESA VIEW! ✨

This week definitely kept us on our toes, but we have SO much more coming your way tomorrow! ❤️

From sharing a wonderful Lunch Bunch with our amazing Lead Housekeeper, Lynne, to celebrating Angie’s 5th Anniversary and all of her hard work and dedication, to Residents and our Volunteer Sarah preparing signs and location spaces for our entire parking lot for the Wheels West Car Club and possibly others for Car Show tomorrow—we have been BUSY! And we wouldn’t have it any other way! 🥰

And while we’re talking about tomorrow, we also wanted to share something really special that we have on display at Mesa View! 🇧🇷❤️

Our Brazil display comes from our very own Solstice member Becky (BOM) and her family. The Brazil items belonged to her exchange student, Thiago, who stayed with Becky and her family from 1997–1998.

The beautiful cloth was handmade by Thiago’s grandmother, and the fossils were brought to Becky by his mother as a Christmas gift in 1997, all the way from Brazil! 🎄🇧🇷 The book is all about one of the states in Brazil—and Thiago actually lives in the neighboring state, in a city called Recife!

How incredibly special is that?! 🥰

It’s so cool to have these pieces here at work—not just as something beautiful to look at, but as a way to preserve memories, honor friendships, and share a little piece of another culture and someone’s story with our residents.

Thank you, Becky, for sharing these treasures with us! ❤️

And now… about that parking lot. 😂

Our normally busy little parking lot is looking like a ghost town tonight! 👻🚗

But don’t worry—it’s only temporary! 😂 It is patiently awaiting the arrival of Wheels West Car Club and all of the amazing cars, trucks, families, and community members who will be joining us bright and early tomorrow morning! 🏁🚘❤️

A HUGE thank-you to all of our residents, families, and caregivers for helping us get the parking lot completely cleared and ready for tomorrow. Your help makes all of this possible!

Tomorrow is going to be one AMAZING day at Mesa View, and we absolutely cannot wait to see this place come alive! ❤️

BRING ON THE CARS, THE COMMUNITY, THE BBQ, THE FUN, AND ALL THE MEMORIES! 🏁🔥🥰

When we look at our employees, we see so much more. We see the love, compassion, and dedication they bring the moment they walk through the doors of our community. We see them put on an invisible cape and become everyday superheroes.

They bring joy, laughter, purpose, and encouragement to our residents every single day. They remind them that life is still full of meaningful moments, smiles, friendship, and love. More than that, they remind us that we aren't just coworkers—we're one big family.

Angie, whether you've been here for two months or 30+ years, the number doesn't define your impact. What truly matters is your beautiful smile, your contagious laugh, your kind heart, and the genuine care you show to everyone around you. You help fill Solstice Senior Living at Mesa View with warmth, compassion, and happiness, and we are so incredibly blessed to have you as part of our family.

Congratulations on your 5-Year Anniversary! Five years is an incredible milestone, but we hope it's only the beginning. Here's to many more years of making a difference together.

Thank you for everything you do for our team, our community, and—most importantly—our wonderful residents. It is truly an honor to work alongside someone as caring and dedicated as you. Happy 5th Anniversary, Angie! ❤️

💚🩵 Double the Nancy, Double the Sunshine! 🩵💚

Today's Lunch Bunch was extra special because these two beautiful ladies decided to brighten everyone's day without even trying! Both named Nancy, both rocking gorgeous, vibrant solid colors, and both wearing smiles that could light up any room. ✨

One in refreshing shades of green, the other glowing in beautiful turquoise blue... together they looked like they walked right out of a summer magazine! 🌿☀️💙

It's moments like these that remind us that style has no age, confidence never goes out of fashion, and joy is always the best accessory. These ladies brought wonderful conversation, contagious smiles, and the kind of positive energy that makes Mesa View feel like home.

Here's to friendship, laughter, colorful outfits, and making every Lunch Bunch a day to remember! 💕😊

At Solstice, some of the best moments happen between friends. Whether we’re sharing a meal, joining an activity or simply enjoying each other’s company, we’re grateful for the friendships that help make our community feel like home. 💛

🎹 Talent lives in so many of our residents, and Mary is one of those beautiful souls who reminds us just how special it can be. ❤️

We have several residents who truly love the piano and have such an incredible gift for playing it. Mary is one of them. She will often come into the chapel to practice, and every Tuesday during our Ice Cream Social, you can usually find her sharing her love of music with us—unless we already have special guests scheduled that day.

Mary loves everything about music—the sound, the rhythm, the melodies, and most of all, the way music can soothe the soul and give you exactly what you need to hear in that moment. 🎶

When Mary plays, there is something so special about it. She brings warmth, love, and comfort through every note. She has a beautiful way of nurturing the room with her music, and honestly, it is every bit as beautiful as she is.

Thank you, Mary, for sharing your incredible talent with us and for allowing us to capture these little moments that mean so much to you. ❤️

Sometimes the most beautiful moments aren't planned—they simply happen when someone does what they love. And Mary, you truly make our days a little more beautiful. 🎹❤️

As a part of our close-knit community, you can enjoy endless amenities, restaurant-style dining that redefines retirement living, plus there is extremely limited inventory. Come and witness the magic for yourself—because seeing is believing!
