Our residents recently enjoyed a wonderful visit from the team at Oregon City Public Library, and it was a morning filled with stories, reflection, and meaningful conversation.
The group took turns reading short pieces written from the perspective of pets — which sparked plenty of smiles and laughter. Stepping into the paws (and minds!) of beloved animals led to heartwarming discussions about the pets they’ve loved over the years and the special bond between people and animals.
Conversation naturally turned to what everyone is currently reading. A few residents shared their thoughts on the sweeping historical romance and adventure of the Outlander series, while others discussed a thought-provoking book on sugar addiction recovery that has inspired healthier habits and lively discussion about wellness at any age.
One of the highlights of the visit was the reading of “Out on the Marsh” by David Updike. The short story follows an 80-year-old couple as they connect and communicate with a younger man, all while reflecting on the natural world around them — the marsh, the wildlife, and the quiet changes that come with time. The themes resonated deeply. Residents shared how the story prompted them to think about communication across generations, the beauty of aging — in people, animals, and the environment — and the shared appreciation for nature that transcends age.
It was a powerful reminder that while generations may have different experiences, we often cherish the very same simple things: meaningful conversation, the outdoors, companionship, and stories that help us understand one another.
We are so grateful to the Oregon City Public Library for bringing literature to life and creating space for connection, reflection, and community. We look forward to their next visit! 📚💚

🌟 Resident Spotlight: Pam 🌟
Pam has called Gilman Grove home for just eight months, but in that short time she has become a truly beloved member of our community. From the very beginning, she has shown a genuine desire to help Gilman Grove be the very best it can be. Through thoughtful observation and insightful feedback, Pam consistently looks for ways to brighten and improve life for both residents and team members — and her care shines through in every interaction.
Pam is also one of our most social and active residents. Whether she’s sharing stories from her rich life experiences or engaging in lively conversations, she brings warmth and connection wherever she goes. During February, she made an especially meaningful impact by contributing to seven Black History Month events. One of the highlights was sharing treasured family recipes, creating beautiful moments of bonding as residents and team members connected over food — and the love and community it represents.
When she’s not gathering others around for stories and laughter, you can often find Pam crafting and painting in the activity room or keeping her mind sharp with word games and brain challenges.
Pam’s wisdom, care, stories, and joy truly brighten everyone’s experience each day. Please join us in thanking her for the positivity and heart she brings to Gilman Grove — we are so grateful for you, Pam! 💛
