  • Ep 6: Larry & Monica's Story
    May 19 2026

    May is National Older Americans Month, and this year’s theme is “Champion Your Health.” If you want to be inspired by an older adult who truly champions his health… you gotta hear from Larry! As a 95-years-young resident at Compass Point Catered Assisted Living, Larry is a retired pathologist who blazes his own trail by gardening, fishing, and prioritizing his health and wellbeing. When he met Monica, Three Pillars’ Wellness Connection Manager and personal trainer, the two quickly became a dynamic duo. Hear how they motivate each other, celebrate physical fitness wins, broaden their horizons, and champion their health with an emphasis on overall wellness.

  • Ep 4: Catherine's Story
    Mar 30 2026

    “I could live at Three Pillars for forty years!” Catherine, the youngest and one of the newest residents at Three Pillars’ Village on the Square, loves many things about the campus. The picturesque, natural setting, activities galore… and being a short walk away from her mom, Dorothy, who just turned 101! Catherine might not be sold on Wisconsin winters, but she is sold on the sense of community. Tune in as this dog-loving, cribbage-playing, cornhole-enthusiast shares her story and why she proactively moved from California to the lifestyle she’s been looking forward to in Lake Country.
