Stormie Bruce

Wellness Arts Manager, since 2025

I am passionate about working in the senior living industry and improving wellness and overall quality of life for older adults. I personally believe every stage of life holds opportunities for growth, discovery, connection, and joy.

I strive to create opportunities for lifelong learning, personal growth, and exploration while encouraging residents to pursue the hobbies, interests, and creative passions that bring excitement and meaning to their days. To me, wellness is multidimensional and can be nurtured through intellectual, social, spiritual, physical, vocational, and creative experiences.

I am proud to be part of Arbor Acres, a vibrant and creative community that embraces the belief that there are endless possibilities for aging well. I am inspired by the curiosity, talents, experiences, and contributions of older adults, and I believe aging should be approached with possibility rather than limitation.

My conviction is that aging well means continuing to learn, explore, create, connect, and find purpose. I am honored to help cultivate an environment where residents feel encouraged to try something new, follow their passions, and continue discovering what brings them fulfillment and joy.
