esidents and staff of Regency Oaks Skilled Nursing Home in Long Beach recently celebrated the 108th birthday and tenth year of residency of Esther Ecklund, Regency's longest living resident.
Esther was born in Sweden. After moving to the United States, she lived in Jamestown, Virginia until she was 98 years old. Her son, who lived here, arranged for her to move into Regency.
At 108 years young, Esther still participates in a few selected activities. More than that, she looks forward to frequent visits from her daughter-in-law, June, and her nephew, Jack, who come often and take her on outings to the beach, her favorite activity, and treat her to special ice cream goodies.
We are looking forward to celebrating your 109th birthday, Esther!
