Touchmark at Georgetown

A look back at our Memorial Day week as we honored, remembered, and celebrated those who served us.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember those who gave their lives in service to our country.

“Just as the name implies, Memorial Day brings many memories. It brings up all the guys and gals who contributed to what we have here today: freedom. We need to remember everything that brought us to where we are now.” – George Furman, Touchmark resident & veteran

Across our communities, we’re grateful for the courage, sacrifice, and legacy of those who made our freedoms possible. Today, we reflect, we remember, and we give thanks.

A few weeks ago, we had the incredible honor of watching one of our own take to the skies once again. ✈️

104-year-old WWII veteran and Touchmark at Georgetown resident Grover Trytten participated in Dream Flights “Spirit of Texas” tour in Georgetown, soaring in a restored 1943 Boeing Stearman aircraft similar to those used to train military aviators during World War II.

This latest story is a follow-up to the Dream Flights coverage, offering a deeper look at Grover’s remarkable service in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II—and the legacy he continues to carry with him.

Moments like these remind us that history lives within our communities—and that adventure, courage, and purpose don’t fade with age.

We’re proud to celebrate Grover’s story and grateful for his service to our country.

Today, we celebrate the mothers, grandmothers, and mother-like figures who have shaped our lives in countless ways.

Across Touchmark communities, we’re honored to be surrounded by remarkable women whose stories, wisdom, and love continue to inspire us every day. Many of our residents have spent a lifetime caring for others—raising families, building traditions, and creating legacies that live on through generations.

To all of you who have nurtured, guided, supported, and loved so deeply—thank you. We are truly grateful to have you as part of our extended Touchmark family.

"To the world you are a mother, but to your family you are the world." —Unknown

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Touchmark.

What makes nursing at Touchmark different?

It’s the relationships.

Our nurses have the opportunity to truly get to know residents: their stories, their families, and what matters most to them. That connection transforms care into something deeply personal and incredibly meaningful.

As one of our nurses shared, “Getting to know those stories … creates a sense of purpose that goes far beyond tasks.”

If you’re looking for a place where you can slow down, build real relationships, and make a lasting impact, Touchmark could be the right fit for your next chapter in nursing.

Stay tuned throughout the week as we continue to celebrate our nurses with stories, photos, and more.
