Discover the many opportunities to #BeOnYourOwnTerms at Verve.

June’s star ingredient: Strawberries! This familiar red fruit is packed with antioxidants to lower cholesterol and inflammation, along with immune-boosting vitamin C and a high fiber content for a nutritional punch that’s as powerful as it is pretty. Did you know that vitamin C is your ally in maintaining healthy vision, as well? Strawberries are this month’s Living Loving Local ingredient and will feature in Verve Senior Living’s chef-inspired dining menu across our residences. Watch the full cooking demo by Daniela Nastase, Dining Services Manager, Lake Bonavista Village, as she makes a delicious Strawberry Shortcake with White Chocolate Scones. You can download this amazing recipe here.
Music is so ingrained into our lives, from TV and film soundtracks to our own musical choices, and even what the radio introduces us to — it’s constant. Turns out, this can be a good thing for the brain. From increasing cognitive function to reducing cortisol levels. Find out more benefits on the blog!
"I've been blown away with the whole experience of getting my dad moved and settled at Carp Commons. Every single person I've spoken with has been friendly, helpful and kind. They made my dad feel comfortable with the process and set him up so nicely. It is reassuring to know he is in such a lovely home and community!"
