“No one notices age. You actually forget about age” – Sydney & Caroline Williams

When Caroline and Sydney Williams moved to Essex Meadows in 2016, they were among the community's younger residents at 75 and 77. Right away, they noticed a big difference between themselves and the other residents. There wasn't one.

“The people are young here and completely down to earth,” Sydney says. “Everyone we’ve met is bright, interesting, engaged, active."

Nourishment that supports the way you want to live. 🍽️

Food is more than fuel—it’s an opportunity to support your health, explore new flavors, connect with others, and enjoy life’s everyday moments. That’s why Nutrition is one of the four pillars of LCS Life+, our personalized wellness lifestyle experience.

We’re excited to share more as we officially launch LCS Life+ during the LCS National Week of Wellness and Well-being, October 5–11. Stay tuned for a week dedicated to celebrating the many ways we’re helping residents live well, every day.

Another beautiful Saturday on the trails for the Essex Meadows Hikers!

Last weekend, a group of a dozen residents set out from campus to enjoy a scenic three-mile hike through the gardens, along a newly added trail, past a local alpaca farm, and to a grove of chestnut saplings planted by a fellow resident.

What an adventure, all right outside their door!
