Happy October Everyone!

One beautiful change that has happened here at Orchard at Brookhaven is the addition of our newest residents! Welcome to the family! One thing that will never change is the commitment we all share to provide a loving, safe, and engaging environment for our residents and their loved ones. I look forward to seeing all of you at our Family Fall Festival and Fundraiser! This is a special way to have fun while giving back. 


Until then, enjoy any beautiful changes coming your way this October!
