The world is muffled by the gentle murmur of falling snow. Children, lost in the enchantment of snowmen and adventure, tirelessly play as if they had but a moment to seize the day. Adults, undoubtedly distracted by memories of snow days past, go about their required activities with an heir of nostalgic longing. Because for those who have lived many winters and seen many a snowflake, we know what comes at the end of the day of work or play. Home.
That feeling when you open the front door and leave the frosty world behind as you enter a place that remembers you and knows your name. Where peace and comfort reach out for a warm embrace. Whether your day was filled with play or toil, home is the haven to which we all want to escape after a long day of trudging through the snow of life. For our Members, Homestead Hills, a 55+ retirement community, is that home.
At our community, home is the knowing that you are known and greatly valued. It’s being missed when you arrive a few minutes late to the gathering and the uproar of joy that greets you when you walk through the door. Your friends, old and new, have been waiting to tell you the day’s news, and they’ve saved you a seat.
It’s the smell of something delicious being baked just for you by your dedicated dining team. The impressive dining room is filled with pungent notes of cinnamon, cloves, and brown sugar. Could it be the childhood apple crumble you confided to the Executive Chef? Most likely.
Home comes to life in the laughter dancing through the halls from the wellness center as the Members boogie through to the end of the class. The Wellness Director, who carefully crafts a monthly wellness calendar with Members of all fitness levels in mind, cheerfully calls out encouragement.
Home is in the quiet of the evening at your cottage or villa, when you breathe a sigh of satisfaction, sinking into your favorite chair, a warm mug pressed in your hand as the day’s last rays wave goodbye.
Home is all these things, and more.
Nestled near the heart of Winston Salem, North Carolina, Homestead Hills thrives not only on snow days, but all year round; welcoming people near and far to come and enjoy the comforts of home. As a 55+ community equipped with a full array of care services, our Members rest in the assurance that though their needs may change, the comforts of home never will.
What waits for you at the end of your snow day? Whatever your days look like, whether you’ve been tending to routine chores or crafting an exquisite snowman, we can all agree that opening the door to a place of safety and warmth, where the icicles of the day melt away, is a place where we would all like to hang our hat and mittens.
