Brecon Village was pleased to host its annual September Sounds music series on three beautiful Thursday nights this fall. Opening the series, Depot Town Big Band delivered a lively performance that had residents tapping their toes to timeless swing and jazz favorites. With their powerful brass section and smooth rhythms, they brought the spirit of the big band era to life, delighting the crowd with a night of nostalgia and energy.

Next up in the series, Big Band Theory filled the courtyard with their unique fusion of traditional big band sounds and modern arrangements. Their fresh take on classic tunes, combined with a few contemporary surprises, kept the audience engaged and excited throughout the evening. It was a performance that effortlessly bridged generations and musical tastes, making it a night to remember.

Finishing off the series, Gemini, the beloved musical duo, captivated everyone with their engaging storytelling and folk-inspired tunes. Their mix of original songs and familiar classics brought warmth and joy to the final concert, ending the series on a high note. Residents and guests alike were swept away by the soothing harmonies and uplifting spirit of their performance.

We are grateful to the Oscar Haab Charitable Remainder Trust for their generous support, which made this year’s concerts possible. Thanks to their contribution, we were able to continue this cherished tradition and bring the joy of music to our community.

A heartfelt thanks to the Kiwanis Club of Ann Arbor for their generous grant that will significantly enhance our CPR training program! Their support has provided us with vital equipment, including CPR dummies and practice AEDs, as well as funding to train a staff member as a certified trainer.

This contribution enables us to offer more comprehensive and accessible life-saving training to our staff on a timelier and more consistent basis, empowering individuals with the skills and confidence needed to respond effectively in emergency situations. We deeply appreciate this commitment to making a difference and helping us save lives.

Thank you, Kiwanis Club of Ann Arbor, for this invaluable support!

Brecon Village is excited to announce the arrival of a brand-new community bus, generously funded by the Oscar Haab Charitable Remainder Trust. This new bus will serve both our independent and assisted living residents, offering comfortable and reliable transportation for outings, appointments, and community events.

The addition of this bus enhances the quality of life for residents, making it easier to stay connected with the broader community. Outings to local restaurants, shopping trips, and medical appointments will now be more accessible, and residents can look forward to even more opportunities to explore and engage with the world outside Brecon Village.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Oscar Haab Charitable Remainder Trust for making this wonderful improvement possible. Their continued support helps us enrich the lives of our residents and ensure they enjoy an active and fulfilling lifestyle.

We are thrilled to extend our deepest gratitude to the Edward F. Redies Foundation Inc. for their incredible support in providing us with crash carts and LVAD equipment for The Redies Center for Rehabilitation & Evangelical Home-Saline.

These carts will serve as a centralized hub, housing all critical emergency medications and equipment, ensuring rapid and efficient responses to medical crises.

Additionally, the acquisition of LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device) equipment is crucial for the specialized care of some cardiac rehab patients. As we expand our services to accommodate this specialized niche, accurate monitoring plays a pivotal role in ensuring optimal patient outcomes.

We are blessed with this continued commitment to improving healthcare in our community!
