Looking Back with Gratitude
Moving forward in faith.
As we approach the close of another remarkable year at Covenant Village, we pause with full hearts to reflect on all we’ve shared, all we’ve accomplished, and all that awaits us. This has been a year of movement—of bold steps forward, quiet acts of service, and visionary planning—all rooted in a culture of grace and gratitude.
We are especially thankful for the individuals who—with intention and appreciation—made charitable and estate gifts that have expedited several enhancements and fulfilled immediate needs that will bless current and future residents. Your foresight and theirs ensure that Covenant Village continues to flourish, enriching lives for years to come.
To our dedicated Board of Directors, thank you for leading with wisdom and a steady hand. Your tireless efforts—balancing current needs with a clear vision for the future—have guided us in thoughtful exploration of how best to build up and expand Covenant Village’s mission and strategic vision.
This year marked exciting steps toward future growth, thanks in large part to our Waitlist members. Your enthusiasm and commitment are laying the foundation for what’s next—not just in the Stonecrest Villas and the Knollwood Cottages. Like charter members of a new journey, you are helping to shape our future with thoughtful imagination.
Our Staff has once again demonstrated a strong willingness to grow and serve in new ways. From enhanced care and service protocols to new training initiatives, your flexibility and dedication have elevated the everyday experience of our residents. Thank you for being both anchors and adventurers in our Master Plan and Strategic Vision.
We also celebrate the ingenuity of our Leadership Team, which continues to think beyond the expected. This year brought new technologies, expanded concierge services, and unforgettable Resident experiences—from scenic road trips to overnight excursions. These innovations have brought joy, ease, purpose, meaning, and connection to so many.
A heartfelt thank you goes to our partners in the Master Plan Development Team—Blum Construction, CJMW Architects/Interiors, Commercial Bank, Stimmel Associates, HJ Simms, WellPointe Advisors, and all our contractors who have been a vital part of our family this past year, working diligently and passionately alongside our staff to move us forward.
To our Residents and their families, your advocacy and love for this community inspire us. Whether you share your Covenant Village story with a neighbor or recommend us to a friend, you help us grow in the most organic, heartfelt way.
And finally, above all, we thank God. God’s steady guidance gives us courage to dream, wisdom to plan, and strength to steward the blessings with which we have been entrusted. Through every challenge and every celebration, God’s hand has been with us.
As we look ahead, may we continue moving forward—living and working longer better … together—with hearts full of gratitude and faith in the journey still to come.
In deep gratitude,
Dale Melton, CEO
