A Celebration of Seniors, Style, and Community
Paradise Pointe Assisted Living & Memory Care recently hosted its highly anticipated Models & Milestones runway event, welcoming more than 150 guests for an afternoon of fashion, family, and philanthropy —and raising $2,400 for the Alzheimer’s Association.
The afternoon was a fabulous reminder that milestones deserve to be celebrated at every age.
With standing room only, residents and their loved ones filled the room with energy and excitement as they cheered on this year’s inspiring runway models. The event was more than a fashion show and 3-year anniversary celebration; it was a celebration of life, connection, and the importance of recognizing seniors and making them feel truly seen, loved, and special.
At Paradise Pointe, socialization and meaningful engagement are at the heart of community life. Events like Models & Milestones beautifully demonstrate how connection supports overall health and wellbeing in assisted living — creating joyful moments that matter for residents and families alike.
