IMPORTANT UPDATES

February 20, 2026

Greetings MMT Families and Residents!

As we enter the season of Lent, we are invited into a time of reflection, renewal, and preparation. For many, these 40 days are an opportunity to slow down, refocus our hearts, and deepen our faith through prayer, sacrifice, and acts of kindness.

In our community, Lent can also be a meaningful time to check in with one another, to extend patience, offer encouragement, and find small but intentional ways to serve. Whether through quiet moments of prayer, participating in services, or simply showing compassion in everyday interactions, this season reminds us that growth often begins in reflection.

We look forward to walking this Lenten journey together as a community, supporting one another and preparing our hearts for the hope and joy that Easter brings.

Pet leashes:

We always enjoy visits from our furry friends as they truly brighten everyone’s day! That said, please remember that pets must remain on a leash at all times while in our community. This helps ensure the safety and comfort of our residents, staff, and visitors, and it also keeps your pet safe from wandering into areas where they could get hurt or lost. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.

COVID update:

I’m really happy to share some good news! We’ve officially been cleared by CDPH from our COVID-19 outbreak. Thank you all for your patience, flexibility, and teamwork over the past few weeks. Your willingness to mask, stay home when you weren’t feeling well, and support one another truly made a difference in minimizing the spread and keeping our community safe.

Parking:

We’ve recently had a few incidents involving unauthorized vehicles parked on our premises for extended periods of time.

To help us manage parking appropriately, please let a member of our team know if you plan to visit and leave your vehicle in our parking lot for an extended period. This will help ensure your vehicle is not mistakenly identified as unauthorized and towed.

Dr. Ehsan Sultani:
Dr. Sultani will be back in our community for another educational talk. He’ll be joining us on February 27th at 4:30 PM to talk about dementia and brain health. (see email attachment)

Dragon dancers:
Just a friendly reminder that our Dragon Dancers will be visiting on February 28th at 10:30 AM as part of our Chinese New Year celebration. We’d love for you to join us for this event! It’s always such a fun and we’re excited to share the experience with our residents, families, and friends. We hope to see you there!

Thank you.
