A story that says it all
Not long ago, a gentleman came to tour Holiday Durham Regent. He had recently lost his wife who loved bird watching, and he had been losing weight at his previous residence. He hoped this community would give him the comfort and stability he needed.
From the moment he arrived, Community Sales Manager Laura Hannigan wanted him to feel at home. Instead of just a handshake, she greeted him with a gift bag filled with fresh-baked cookies, a cheerful “Welcome Home” sign and a house-shaped bird feeder – a thoughtful nod to his late wife’s favorite pastime.
When it came time for lunch, he joined residents for fried chicken, roasted potatoes and corn on the cob – classic comfort food. After weeks of not eating much, it was exactly what he needed. He finished his plate and looked more relaxed than he had when he first walked in.
As the tour continued, he noticed the balconies overlooking the trees and imagined himself sitting outside with the bird feeder, watching cardinals and finches flutter by. With each stop – from the dining room to the community spaces – it became easier to picture himself living here.
By the end of the visit, there was no hesitation. He walked back into the office, smiled and simply said, “Let’s do this!” That afternoon, he signed his lease and started looking forward to his next chapter at Holiday Durham Regent.
