Blakeford Senior Life: A Pearl Jubilee – 30 Years of Community and Care

Honoring our past, celebrating the present, and preserving the voices and stories that will shape the next chapter.

 

Blakeford Senior Life Celebrates 30 Years – Our Pearl Jubilee

Thirty years ago, the world was a very different place—but one thing has remained constant: Blakeford’s commitment to exemplary service and compassionate care. Since opening in 1996, Blakeford has grown into a vibrant Life Plan Community where older adults thrive, supported by relationships, purpose, and a true sense of belonging.

Like a pearl formed over time—precious, strong, and enduring—our community has been shaped by the people who live and serve here. Guided by our core values of community, compassion, consistency, empowerment, integrity, innovation, and respect, Blakeford continues to evolve while staying grounded in what matters most.

As part of this milestone year, we are celebrating not only our history, but the lives being lived and the stories still unfolding today. Through Voices of Blakeford, residents and team members are sharing reflections, advice, and memories—creating a meaningful collection of messages for future generations and a lasting testament to the heart of our community.

Our Pearl Anniversary also reflects the spirit of generosity that defines Blakeford. Through the Blakeford Foundation’s 30 in 30 Campaign, we are supporting the Team Member Support Fund—an initiative that provides assistance for team members in times of need, honoring those who care for our residents every day.

Throughout the year, we will celebrate this milestone with special events, storytelling, and community traditions—honoring where we’ve been while looking ahead with purpose.

Because at Blakeford, the story is still being written.
