We celebrated the opening of Goldenrod Glen in Big Lake, MN with community leaders, corporate sponsors, service partners, and residents! This new development brings 74 affordable, senior homes to market.

Longtime Aeon resident and current board member Rick shared his story of growth, leadership, and community. After moving into his Aeon home 13 years ago, Rick found more than housing—he found purpose, connection, and a place to thrive.

Volunteers rolled up their sleeves to refresh our community’s landscaping, pulling weeds, planting flowers, and tending to outdoor spaces that welcome residents home. These touches create inviting places for residents to take pride in their home.

After moving into his Aeon apartment years ago following homelessness, John now serves as the maintenance technician in that very same building. Having once walked in his neighbors’ shoes, he brings deep care and dedication to his work.

Z, an Aeon youth resident, spoke at this year’s Beyond Bricks & Mortar, sharing his story of growth and resilience. Aeon’s partnership with the YMCA has allowed Z to find stability, support, and opportunities to thrive at home, work, and school.

A group of Aeon senior residents explored history through a free Community Access course at the U of M, connected by their Resident Connections Coordinator. Residents like Steve embraced new insights and meaningful discussions.

At an event organized by Resident Connections, children eagerly received new backpacks donated by a corporate partner. The backpacks helped set students up for success and brought excitement to families as they prepared for the school year.

Every August, Aeon communities gather for National Night Out, enjoying food, games, and fellowship. Residents, staff, and volunteers connect, build trust, and celebrate the sense of belonging that makes Aeon communities feel like home.
