Last week, we took a stroll down memory lane and had hot dogs and milkshakes at Westchester’s famous hot dog stand, Walter’s. Walter's Hot Dog Stand is a registered historical landmark that has been serving our community since 1919.

Who says you can't have fun during a snowstorm? Our residents at RiverVue were embracing the winter wonderland outside and letting their inner kid come out to play! We certainly weren’t going to let a little cold weather dampen our spirits.

Last October, we participated in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s, the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support, and research.

We are beyond grateful for all of your support – but most importantly, we would like to thank our social worker, Arielle Miras who recently received an award for being the #2 fundraiser in the entire country.
