Once a year, the management team at The Fountains at Millbrook cancels all meetings, sets aside phones, and gets into the kitchen to make a special meal for everybody in the community. Executive Director Deb Slocum says it’s one of her favorite traditions. Nobody wants to miss their pancake breakfast.
“The managers set up, prepare the food, serve, and clean up,” Deb says. “I love seeing the associates and residents sitting together, relaxing, and sharing their lives with each other.”
After nearly three decades there, Deb still enjoys each day at The Fountains at Millbrook. She admires the beauty and history of community and appreciates every person she’s met there.
Early on, Deb recalls residents telling her clearly that they didn’t want to be “regimented.” She’s taken that to heart. The community’s atmosphere reflects that independent and lively spirit to this day.
