Plano Community Home

Our campuses are very diverse which allow us to learn about and celebrate with the many cultures which make up our communities. Today we had the privilege of celebration Nowruz with our residents, family and friends. Nowruz, also known as the Persian New Year, is one of the most ancient and widely celebrated festivals in the world. This vibrant and joyful occasion marks the beginning of spring and the renewal of life. Nowruz, which means “New Day” in Persian, has been celebrated for over 3,000 years in Iran and many other countries, including Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Turkey, and parts of Central Asia. With deep cultural and historical significance, Nowruz brings families together and symbolizes rebirth, hope, and prosperity.

Many many thanks to our monthly Bingo sponsor Dorrie and Volunteer Mikayla! Very Merry Bingo was merry for the residents. 25% of our residents attend Bingo now (vs. 10% in past) because of our committed sponsor and volunteers. This is a Holiday gift that keeps on giving and is a joy and blessing to our low-income seniors.

This is the 5th year staff has cooked Thanksgiving Dinner for the residents. The first year was during COVID; we cooked, boxed everything up and delivered it to resident apartments. The staff has worked with the resident council in the past who supplied the turkey and ham. This year we served 45 residents and 7 staff and volunteers. The residents again had a wonderful time breaking bread together.
