Each year, the Resident Council proudly sponsors the vibrant and informative Activity Fair, an event that brings our community together in the most exciting way! It’s a chance for both current and future residents to learn more about the diverse activity and hobby groups available to them here at Panorama. This year, over 70 groups were represented, each offering something special to spark passion and connection.

The fair is a place where people can discover new interests, forge friendships, and truly feel the sense of belonging that our community is built on. It’s a celebration of the countless opportunities available and a powerful reminder of how much we can grow and thrive together!

March is Careers in Aging Month, which is a time to highlight the many career opportunities in the field of aging. In honor of this, we’re spotlighting some of our staff who are passionate about making a difference.

From groundskeeping to renovations, skilled nursing to security, our staff works tirelessly to create a supportive and caring environment for our residents. Every department plays a vital role, ensuring that all aspects of life in our community run smoothly, comfortably, and safely.

Our Dancing with the Stars event has become an annual phenomenon! Each year, four staff members and four residents are selected to pair with a talented dancer from the Utah Ballroom Dance Company, creating an unforgettable evening of performances. Every participant takes the stage to perform a specific dance style with a unique theme.

As the dancers show off their best moves, the audience can’t help but be captivated by the energy, dedication, and flair of each performance! Our panel of judges adds to the fun, always offering a mix of humorous comments and light-hearted critiques.

The event has become a beloved tradition, as residents gather in our Auditorium to cheer on their favorite pair. It doesn’t just provide great entertainment but a sense of camaraderie and joy for the community. With each year, Dancing with the Stars continues to be a spectacular celebration of talent, teamwork, and the magic of live performance. Watch the video below to see the full show!

Our Fall Festival this year was an absolute hit, filled with laughter, joy and fun! From the enchanting Pumpkin Parade to the festive Halloween Happy Hour, the cozy S’mores event, the cider press demonstration in Assisted Living, Spirit Week, and a variety of other activities, there was no shortage of fun for both residents and staff!

A true standout was our very first Trunk-or-Treat event! Children of staff had a blast visiting the Panorama bus and resident-decorated trunks, while also enjoying the opportunity to connect with residents in Assisted Living and the C&R.

Also, a special shout-out to our Grounds Department for their stunning annual pumpkin display—it was truly a sight to see!

These campus happenings are always a reminder of the vibrant sense of community that makes our campus truly special. It’s a chance to create new memories, embrace seasonal traditions and strengthen the bonds that bring us together.

 “The 2024 National Skilled Nursing Care Week (NSNCW)​ theme, Radiant Memories – A Tribute to the Golden Age of Radio, embraces a time when the airwaves resonated with captivating stories and melodies. More than nostalgia, “Radiant Memories” is a call to honor the enduring legacy of skilled nursing care centers. In these centers, residents and staff contribute to the creation of radiant memories, akin to the cherished moments shared through music and stories over the radio waves.”

Celebrating Skilled Nursing Week is a wonderful way to recognize and appreciate the hard work and dedication of our skilled nursing staff who play a crucial role in providing quality care to our patients. Throughout the enjoyable week of May 12-18, we honored our nursing staff and residents by hosting a diverse range of fun activities and offering many treats!

Volunteer Appreciation Week (April 22-26) is a special time dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the incredible contributions of those who give their time. One way we’ve chosen to honor the importance of the week is through spotlighting a few dedicated resident volunteers. The showcase below intends to illustrate the wide spectrum of volunteer opportunities within our community. Our campus thrives on the invaluable efforts of volunteers who leave a lasting impact year-round.

These spotlights represent the collective spirit of giving back that defines the culture here at Panorama!
