🌸 From our hands to their hearts: A special Mother’s Day delivery!
The spirit of community is blooming here at Eskaton Natomas Manor! Our residents have been busy crafting vibrant, handmade flowers out of colorful fuzzy stems to serve as Mother’s Day centerpieces for our friends at Eskaton Land Park.

This "thank you" surprise was inspired by the delicious spaghetti and salad dinner the Land Park community treated us to earlier this year. We wanted to return the kindness with a gift that was just as heartfelt and creative. We are so proud of our resident crafters for spreading a little magic between our two communities!

A big thank you to Discovery High School for putting on such a remarkable afternoon of delicious food and fun!

During the holiday season last year, the spirit of giving was truly on display at Eskaton. Our talented residents from Eskaton Village Grass Valley came together to hand-knit beanies, scarves, and gloves to create heartfelt gift bundles for residents of Eskaton's affordable housing communities, including Eskaton Natomas Manor, Wilson Manor, and Clearlake Oaks Manor. 💙

Alongside the cozy knitwear, each bundle included thoughtful goodies, trinkets, and toiletries, turning simple donations into meaningful reminders of connection and community.

Jennifer Salvato (pictured right) has seen first hand the impact that these acts of kindness have on residents, especially during the holiday season. Having taken part in several gift-giving activities as Executive Director in Training, Jennifer shared, “Moments like our gift-giving celebrations and Friendsgiving have shown me just how deeply these small acts of kindness ripple through the lives of our affordable housing residents. Their faces genuinely light up when they’re shown even the simplest form of appreciation or love. That reaction never gets old for me. It’s a reminder that recognition, warmth, and community aren’t just ‘nice to have’; they’re essential.”

We’re grateful to our residents and team members for leading with compassion and proving that the smallest gestures can make the biggest impact. ✨

Gratitude was the main course at Eskaton Natomas Manor yesterday! 🧡 The community came together for a special Thanksgiving Dinner lovingly prepared by Executive Director Donna Garrett, who continues her heartfelt tradition of cooking full holiday meals for the three affordable housing communities she oversees, including Eskaton Wilson Manor and Eskaton Clearlake Manor. Her time, energy, and generosity ensure that residents have a hearty, home-cooked Thanksgiving meal to enjoy year after year.
