Moments That Made Our Year!
Where 2025 Brought Us Together
Looking back at 2025, The Lark was filled with moments that brought us closer and reminded us what community truly means. From morning brunches and karaoke nights to casino nights, summer games, volunteer efforts, and juice parties, every gathering was fueled by laughter, care, and genuine connection. ♥️
What Residents are Saying

"This is a follow up feedback from my 2016 post. Since I moved back in 2016, my stay at The Lark has been wonderful and worry free. Time came for retirement and it was a mixed feeling. I lived at The Lark for solid 10 years and 4 months plus more than a year during my first stay before moving out. It is 1/6 of my entire life at The Lark with no issue at all and if there was any it was minor and resolved within hours or at least on the same day. This wouldn’t happen without the care and management under Ruby Ramirez and her staff. They are a perfect team! The place is immaculate, thank you Ruby, Mariah and Misael! And there are always activities every month to look forward to for the residents to unwind and enjoy and meet other residents. It’s a community. There’s a garden to plant vegetables to enjoy and share some harvest as well. You couldn’t ask for more. This is my memorable personal experience at The Lark. Visit it yourself in person and you will be amazed how the place is being well taken care of."

Important Gym Renovation Update
Gym Construction Update
Construction on the gym is approximately 90% complete, and we are very close to the finish line. The remaining delay is due to the city’s final inspection and a few materials that were delayed. After the New Year, we anticipate needing an additional one to two weeks before the gym is fully operational and reopened. Thank you for your continued patience—we are almost there.
