Paradise Pointe Assisted Living and Memory Care in Ormond Beach is celebrating its third anniversary.
In recognition of this milestone, Paradise Pointe will host a free community event from 2-4 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 22. The event — Models and Milestones — will feature residents and their family members taking center stage as models, styled in partnership with Peppers Boutique Ormond. The event will also include fundraising efforts in support of Paradise Pointe’s Alzheimer’s Association campaign.
The show will start at 2:30 p.m. RSVP by calling 386-868-0505.
Led and operated by CEO Darlinda Copeland, a registered nurse, Paradise Pointe was inspired by her parents, who Copeland lost as she brought her idea of a new kind of assisted living to life. Her father, Don Gammon, died in 2022 and her mother, Barbara Gammon, in 2025.
"As Darlinda walked alongside her own parents through the aging process — providing care, advocating for dignity, and navigating the complexities of senior health — she saw firsthand the need for a different kind of senior living community," a press release states.
Copeland, a former chief operating officer of a local hospital, worked with local physicians, nurses, healthcare professionals and community business for the creation of Paradise Pointe. Following the death of her mother, Copeland established the Barbara Gammon Nursing Scholarship Fund, an initiative to support current and future nursing staff as they further their education.
"As Paradise Pointe approaches three years of serving the Ormond Beach community this February, the dates remain deeply symbolic — celebrating the license approval on Feb. 14, the first resident move-in on Feb.15, and the beginning of a legacy built on love, leadership, and locally rooted care."
