OUR HISTORY
Celebrating 25 Years of Heart, Home, and Community at The Bluffs
This year, The Bluffs proudly marks 25 years of serving seniors with compassion, dignity, and a true sense of home. Our story began on September 15, 2000, when we welcomed our very first resident, Esther Barna, through plywood doors and into a place where a warm cup of coffee and even warmer hearts awaited her. What began as a dream shared by founders Tom and Denise Moyle—to create a vibrant, family-like alternative to traditional nursing homes—quickly took root and blossomed into a thriving community built on care, connection, and belonging.
In those early days, we were learning as we went—figuring out how to prepare meals for just a handful of residents. Today, we’ve served over two million meals and created a home for hundreds of seniors who have made The Bluffs part of their life journey. Our evolution has been guided by resilience, a commitment to excellence, and the shared belief that aging should be celebrated, not simply managed.

Over the years, The Bluffs has continued to grow while holding tightly to the values that shaped our foundation. We’ve built trusted partnerships with local healthcare providers, hosted joyful events, and opened our doors to guests from all walks of life—including beloved figures like members of the Green Bay Packers and TLC’s Matt and Amy Roloff. Through it all, our breathtaking natural setting, dedicated team, and welcoming spirit have remained constants that define who we are.
As we look back on 25 years of memories, milestones, and meaningful connections, we’re filled with gratitude for every resident, staff member, volunteer, and family who has been a part of our journey. The Bluffs is more than just a place to live—it’s a place to belong. And as we look to the future, we remain committed to celebrating life, building community, and honoring the legacy of care that brought us here.
Here’s to 25 wonderful years—and many more to come.
