Congratulations to National Church Residences on the grand opening of Hebron Station in Hebron this week. Joined by local leaders, including Hebron Mayor Dr. Valerie Mockus and representatives from the offices of U.S. Rep. Troy Balderson and U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno, the celebration highlighted the importance of expanding affordable housing options for older adults in Licking County. The new 42-unit senior housing community brings much-needed housing options to Licking County for older adults seeking comfortable, independent living in a welcoming community. We’re grateful for the continued commitment to mission-driven housing and the work being done to expand affordable options for older Ohioans.

⭐ 329 STARS. 82 member organizations. Five ceremonies. One big reminder that excellent care depends on far more than the people with titles everyone knows.

In Tiffin yesterday, STARS season came to a close with nearly 200 guests gathered at Tiffin University. We were proud to honor the nurses, social workers, maintenance teams, dietary staff, IT professionals, housekeeping, groundskeeping, and other essential team members who keep mission-driven aging services running every day. Huge thanks to St. Francis Ministries for offering the invocation, welcome, and prayer. We’re already looking forward to recognizing a new group of STARS next spring. ⭐

Organizations that would like group photos of their STARS can email [email protected].
