When you arrive at the Walker Methodist Plaza senior living community in Anoka, you are sure to meet Orville. Orville is a long time resident of Anoka and he is waiting to meet you! Orville has an uncanny knack of introducing himself to everyone who steps foot into the community.
What I love about this story and the many stories that fill the hallways, senior living community spaces, and apartments at Walker Methodist, is that Orville has made this community his home. The staff and residents are Orville’s friends, helping him make sure his pocket is filled with copied pieces of paper, cut to size, waiting for the next visitor to arrive for his big introduction to the community. I have even had to keep a guest entertained while he wheels back to his room for more “supplies”.
Pride and joy come in many shapes and sizes. Pride in the community that we live, pride in the home we have made, and pride in introducing our friends to our family. Our goal at Walker Methodist is that each of our residents feels this pride in their home. Our guests are your guests. We create opportunities for residents to show off their home all year long. For some, they invite their friends and families to a holiday party, an ice cream social, a dance, Sunday brunch, or a beautiful walk outside. The best part – we do the dishes!
We hope you can experience the pride and joy our residents, like Orville, enjoy every day. Explore one of our communities and we will reserve a spot for a lunch or dinner with your new friends!
