Words of Wisdom January 2023

We’d like to leave you with some words of wisdom from a few of our residents!

The idea for this section is from Karissa Gundle, Life Enrichment Director with Avamere at Sherwood. In honor of her idea, the first Words of Wisdom features residents from our Sherwood, Oregon senior living community.

“We never should stop learning because every day you’re going to learn something that surprises you. Allow yourself to absorb all of the things that make you think ‘wow, that’s incredible.’ Even at 94, I’m still learning new things every day.”

Ferne Pearson, Avamere at Sherwood

“Where there is a will, there’s a way. That’s what I live by.”

Susan Wilson, Avamere at Sherwood

“If you have a disability, don’t let it stop you. Everyone has something, but live life to its fullest.”

Teresa Aimer, Avamere at Sherwood
