Residents

Meet Hazel! A Frasier resident since 2020, Hazel is a retired nurse with a life full of adventure. She’s lived in London, Paris, Milan, New York, Connecticut, and Pittsburgh—bringing a world of experiences to our community.

Q&A with Hazel:

Q: Is there something your elders taught you that you still remember today?

A: Maybe, to be kind…or remember to say sorry.

Q: Do you have a favorite spot on Frasier campus?

A: Oh yes! I have a section in the residents’ garden, and I already have tulips coming up.

Q: If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?

A: I think Botswana. I have visited before and it’s absolutely lovely.

We’re grateful to have Hazel as part of the Frasier family!

Meet Curt, a resident of five years who spends more time in the Frasier Woodshop than anywhere else! Known for his accountability and expertise, Curt is a trusted mentor in the shop, teaching woodworking classes to residents of all skill levels. He has played a key role in organizing and leading this space, helping many who never imagined themselves as woodworkers discover a new passion.

Q&A with Curt:

Q: If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

A: It would have to be Superman. I was such a Superman fan! Although, that is more than one power.

Q: If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?

A: Japan. We lived there for three years, on a Navy base near Tokyo. We’ve been back six times and have another trip planned this fall.

Q: What is your favorite Frasier memory?

A: I gave a talk in January about my woodworking hobby, and it was well received! It was called Life in Woodworking. I was able to organize the stages of my hobby and explain it in a way that people seemed to enjoy.

Meet Bev, a resident who has seen nine years of Frasier’s growth firsthand- including watching our lap pool and The Prairies apartments rise right outside her window! She has no trouble staying busy, claiming “If you can’t find something to do at Frasier, then you’re not really looking!”

Q&A with Bev:

Q: If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?

A: Back to the Pribilof Islands in Alaska. I have visited several times; it’s a birding paradise.

Q: What’s something your grandparents or elders taught you?

A: To always live within your means. As a child of the Depression, that lesson stuck with me and helped me plan for a life at Frasier.

Q: Favorite Frasier tradition or activity?

A: The Wellness Center. I like the pool, and I love to exercise. We are so fortunate to have good exercise specialists, they give very good advice and really know what they’re doing.

We’re thrilled to introduce you to Chanda, a dedicated Resident Assistant at The Meadows, our assisted living community. Chanda has been part of the Frasier family since 2012! When asked what keeps her here, she says it’s the warm community and friendly staff. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking right here in beautiful Boulder!

Q&A with Chanda:

Q: If you could only eat one food forever, what would it be?

A: Nepali food—rice and curry or chicken dumplings (we call them Momo!).

Q: Favorite Frasier activity or tradition?

A: I’m so grateful for the generous staff celebrations Frasier gives us throughout the year.

Q: What’s something extra special you do for residents when you can?

A: I love helping with little things—polishing nails, fixing hair, or doing a French braid. It makes me happy to do those things.

Chanda

Meet Torin, one of our talented cooks in the North Fork kitchen! He’s been part of the Frasier team for nearly a year, but his passion for cooking runs deep—and fosters community by bringing friends, family, and neighbors together with delicious meals.

Q&A with Torin:

Q: If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

A: Street tacos. I ask this question to people all the time too. Someone once said popsicles!

Q: What is your favorite Frasier memory?

A: Halloween. My coworker dressed as a taco, and I dressed as a burrito. It was awesome!

Q: Do you have a book from childhood you still love today?

A: The Goosebumps series. I am still a horror buff, and I still have a bunch of my old books.

Q: What is your go-to North Fork order?

A: I would have to say the pizzas. We just made a new one with chicken, spinach, and artichoke with garlic oil. It’s very good.

Torin

We are excited to highlight Brandon! He is an exercise specialist who has brought great energy, positivity, and creativity to our fitness programming over the past year. You’ll find him leading fitness classes, offering personal training sessions, and conducting wellness assessments focused on balance and fall risk.

Q&A with Brandon:

Q: What are you most known for among your friends, family, or coworkers?

A: Probably being energetic. I get antsy and have a hard time sitting still!

Q: If you could have any animal as a pet, what would it be?

A: A snow monkey! You see them a lot in Japan, they hang out in hot springs during the winter.

Q: What is your go-to Mayme’s order?

A: My favorite is the sticky buns they have on Thursdays. They’re pretty big, with pecans and icing on top. I only get them when I’m really trying to treat myself.

Ask Brandon about his popular Golden Sneakers class next time you see him!
