What a beautiful afternoon we shared at CopperWood Senior Living in Ankeny.

Our Sweet Pairings event brought residents together to enjoy thoughtfully selected wine and cheese combinations, complete with tasting guides and beautifully set tables. From Brie with Prosecco to Gouda with Pinot Noir, every pairing sparked conversation and a few friendly debates about favorites.

But what stood out most was not the wine or the cheese.

It was the laughter around the tables. The stories being shared. Neighbors leaning in to connect. The simple joy of learning something new together.

This is what community looks like here. Intentional experiences. Elevated touches. Moments that make a place feel like home.

If you or someone you love is exploring senior living options, we would love to welcome you in for an event, a tour, or a complimentary meal. Come experience the warmth and connection for yourself.

💛 An Evening of Fun & Friendship at CopperWood! 💛

We were so blessed to have the 7th grade girls from Lutheran Church of Hope visit us tonight!

Our residents enjoyed playing beanbag baseball, a round of BINGO, a friendly game of chess, and even listening to stories together. The laughter, conversations, and connections made it such a special evening for everyone.

Intergenerational moments like these truly warm our hearts and remind us how powerful community can be.

Thank you to these wonderful young ladies for spending your evening with us — we can’t wait to have you back!
