Featured Residents

Now more than ever, we have so much appreciated everyone's Worthy of Recognition nominations, so this month we've decided to highlight THREE stories that have stood out to us. Sometimes all we need to make it through the day is an extra hand, and that is exactly what these residents have been able to provide their communities.

Joyce M. at Stony Creek Senior has made it a priority to visit neighbors when they are not feeling well, share her delicious baked goods, and provide transportation to and from appointments to those who do not have their own. Charlene and Mickey S. at Blue Oak Court have gone the extra mile to helping maintain their property, picking up trash, glass, and other items, and making sure all issues are reported to management and resolved quickly for residents. Ardeene "Ardee" F. at Las Brisas has been the primary monitor for their "Give and Take" shared area, making sure all packages arrive where they are supposed to, clearing out any expired food, folding clothes, and keeping the space looking neat and bright. 

We are so grateful for the giving spirit of our residents, and are hopeful to inspire others with their stories as we enter into this season of giving. From everyone at TPC Resident Rewards, we thank you!

 

Ahora más que nunca, hemos appreciado mucho las nominaciones Dignas de Reconocimiento que hemos recibido; por lo tanto, decidimos compartir TRES historias que se han destacado. A veces, todo lo que necesitamos para mejorar el día es un poco de ayuda extra. ¡Y eso es exactamente lo que estos residentes han podido brindar a sus comunidades!

Joyce M. de Stony Creek Senior ha convertido en una prioriodad visitar a los vecinos cuando no se sienten bien, y compartir sus panes horneados. Ello también ayuda a proporcionar transporte desde y hacia las citas para los que no ienen ayuda propia. Charlene y Mickey S. en Blue Oak Court han hecho un esfuerzo adicional para ayudar a mantener su propiedad limpia, recoer basura, vidiros, y otros artículos. También se aseguran de que la administración esté informada de cualqier problema, y pueda ser resuelto rápidamente para los residentes. Ardeene "Ardee" F. en Las Brisas ha sido quien monitorea el área compartida de "Dar y Recibir," asegurándose de que todos paquetes lleguen al lugar correcto. Ella también  limpia la comida que se ha vencido, acomoda la ropa, y mantiene el espacio limpio y ordenado.

Estamos muy agradecidos por el espíritu generoso de nuestros residentes, y esperamos poder inspirar a otros con sus historias al entrar en esta temporada de generosidad. De parte de todos en el Programa de Recompensas TPC, ¡le damos las gracias!

 

 

We have recently had an overwhelming number of nominations for "Manager of the Month," and we would like to spotlight some of them, along with the qualities that we so much value in our Property Managers. From collecting rent, to conducting routine inspections, among other things, these managers have proven to stay on top of all their responsibilities! We aim for our managers to be strong communicators, have a willingness to adapt and learn, and above all, be resident-focused. Maria Chapman, Tobi Alexander, Angela Osterlund, Cezar Meza, Jessica Marino, Sonia Ayon, Charlie Mannix, Destiny Hutsell, and Magnolia Gutierrez have all gone above and beyond in demonstrating these qualities for their communities, especially regarding the Resident Rewards Program. They have remained in constant communication with our TPCRR Team, been quick to learn the in's and out's of our new website,  promoted the program amongst residents, and increased their overall property enrollment and activation, all of which help to achieve our goal of enhancing residents' everyday lives. We are so grateful for each of our participating managers, and hope to encourage you all as we watch our program continue to grow!

 

Thank you to all residents who participated in our 2021 Spring/Summer Patio Decorating Contest! Our winners are...

1st Place: Inocencio V., Tresor Apartments

2nd Place: Linda W., Cottonwood Meadows

3rd Place: Barbara S., Las Brisas

We appreciate all of your excitement and participation, and we hope you've all enjoyed decorating your spaces and adding to the beauty of your communities!

As times change, our day-to-day dynamics will naturally change also. Diane S. knows all about change.  She recently transferred from California living at Ridgecrest Senior community to  Carlow Senior community in Idaho. Diane S. has shared with us how she has chosen to embrace the changes in her life and is hopeful to encourage others to do so also:

"I have been a member of the rewards program for the past two and a half years. It has been a blessing because of the gift cards you earn, helping with expenses, and gifts for family and friends. I moved from the Ridgecrest Senior Apartments in California to  Carlow Senior Apartments in Idaho and received thousands of points just for moving from one TPC community to another. It was so easy to collect points and take quizzes and before long, I had all the points I needed for the year. I thank Resident Rewards for making my life easier and more enjoyable. Everyone should join this program!"

We thank you, Diane, and all of our participating residents for being a part of Resident Rewards and choosing to enhance your living!

In days like these, a sense of community can feel as though it is in short supply. However, Amber R. of Blue Oak Court has gone the above and beyond to prove otherwise. Last year, when extreme weather conditions sparked a fire on the highway in front of Blue Oak Court, Amber and her family took action to help save the community. They worked diligently finding extra hoses, collecting fire extinguishers, evacuating residents, and directing firefighters around the community. Their decidedly quick and selfless action assisted staff and firefighters in getting the fire under control swiftly and making sure all residents were safe. Blue Oak Court and TPC are extremely blessed to have Amber and her family call this community home. TPC proudly recognizes them as our “2020 Residents of the Year” for their effort in maintaining a safe and healthy sense of community in the midst of difficulty. 

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's TPC Resident Rewards Holiday Decorating Contest! Our 2020 winners are...

1st Place: Michelle R., Kristen Court

2nd Place: Tiffany S., Kristen Court

3rd Place: Shauna S., Salado Orchards

We hope each of you had a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

 

There’s a certain joy and nostalgia that comes with every holiday season, and that is something Patti E. of Cottonwood Meadows hopes to generate in her community. Before any major holiday makes its way around, Patti is up before the sun to decorate for the occasion. She can’t wait to surprise her community with the familiar feeling of home that each resident craves. She has coordinated multiple holiday meals for the residents and even performed impromptu concerts for residents and staff to enjoy during these months of quarantine (from a safe distance of course). Patti gives without hesitation and asks nothing in return simply to make others smile, something we all could do a little more of. TPC Resident Rewards is grateful to Patti for her continued mission to spread joy and lift other’s spirits.

First impressions of a community are very important. In apartment communities, landscaping is the first step in creating an unforgettable first impression. At Casas de Esperanza the weeds and grass had been growing in unwelcome places faster than the staff could keep up with. Residents Maria R. and Rosa E. take steps to not only keep the inside of their homes kept, but they also show their community pride in keeping the yard outside their homes clean and beautiful as well. Recently, they noticed the grass and weed situation was getting out of control throughout the community. These great residents decided to act by regularly cleaning the community of weeds and grass in the rocky landscape. Their hard work creates a clean and beautiful home for all to enjoy. TPC Resident Rewards is proud to recognize both Maria R. and Rosa E. as residents who go above and beyond to prove they care for where they live.

This Summer California was hit hard with multiple wildfires throughout the state, in which the property manager of her community was called to aid in fighting the fires. Without a manager or maintenance person available a beloved resident, Cindy C, decided to take the initiative to do what she felt was “her part” as a resident to take care of her community. With all the ash from the fires falling upon the property daily, Cindy took it upon herself to sweep and wash the ash away in areas to make it more sanitary for all residents. Cindy kept the pool area clean of debris and cobwebs, cleared walkways and wiped down the building sides from dust and ash. She even removed trash and maintained common areas without ever being asked. The other residents admired Cindy’s ambition and soon began to follow her lead helping maintain the community in the manager’s absence. All the while giving all recognition to Cindy for her devotion and contribution as a resident to the property. Cindy’s initiative and leadership were much appreciated and a prime example of just one of many great residents at Stony Creek Senior. Thank you, Cindy.

When you start apartment hunting your focus is on affordability, location, and size, not how helpful your neighbor will be. At Courtyards at Sheridan Apartments, there’s a neighbor that goes out of his way to help those around him, Matt K.

In front of Matt’s building, there are two handicapped parking spaces for the residents living there. In the winter, he ensures the walkways to the spaces are clear and is always available to lend a hand whether it be unloading groceries or holding the door. These small acts of kindness are the ones that can make someone’s day brighter. Thank you, Matt, for going out of your way to make someone’s day.

Marilyn is friendly, outgoing, and welcoming towards new and exisiting residents at Ridgecrest Senior Apartments. With energy and encouraging spirit she took the initiative to become the social director by coordinating fun activities such as playing cards, move night, holiday gatherings, and exercise sessions, that she hosts herself. These activities make the residents at Ridgecrest feel more like a large family, not just another apartment community. Thank you, Marilyn, for everything you do to energize us and enlighten our days. 

 

Regina is a step above your standard definition of a normal neighbor.

Regina lives at Parkside Apartments in Idaho and takes pride in her community. When her neighbors are sick and unable to go to work she has been known to cook meals to help them rest and recover. She is hailed as everyone's “Grandma” at Parkside, watching over the children in the community. She is never asked to do the things she does, she just performs random acts of kindness. Thank you, Regina for making Parkside Apartments a great place to live.

"I can never express how grateful I am about this program. It has helped me out so much and I know my residents feel the same way, it has helped their birthday, Christmas, and grocery buying. It has been a LIFESAVER for us all." Rhonda, Ridgecrest, California

"I have spent my TPC Rewards points on a part to fix my dryer, groceries, and Christmas presents. The most meaningful purchase I made with my points was a new pair of boots to help me learn to walk again after an accident severely injured my legs. I encourage everyone to participate in the TPC Resident Rewards Program."
