Medford Leas

Another tumultuous weather week! Love it or hate it, the rain is much-needed. Furthermore, sometimes storms can result in incredible displays in the sky, like this rainbow. Thank you to resident Betsy R. for sharing with photo with us. Can you see the second rainbow? Stay safe, but don't forget to occasionally look to the skies when Out and About.

Join us in congratulating Jeff Nixon on his 35 years of invaluable service to Medford Leas! We're so glad you're part of our team!

Today we pause to remember and reflect on the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Grateful for their sacrifice, thinking of their families, and holding their memory close.

We hope everyone has a safe and meaningful Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

What a wild weather week! Check out the incredible blooms of this rhododendron whose name comes from ancient Greek (rhódon), meaning "rose", and δένδρον (déndron), meaning "tree." It is also the state flower of both Washington state and West Virginia. Be sure to check out "rose tree" when Out and About.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of our mothers, past, present and future. Special thanks to our staff moms who are working today to serve our residents!

Happy Earth Day!

Earth Day is an annual event, celebrated on April 22, on which day events worldwide are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection. It was first celebrated in 1970, and is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network, and celebrated in more than 192 countries each year.

A challenge to photograph but so easy to enjoy, today we feature the Cercis canadensis aka Redbud tree. Known for its distinctive red/pink blooms, the name is no mystery. This specimen is located at the corner of Woolman Way and Rushmore Lane, but there are many others to look for in our Arboretum when Out and About.
