Juliette Fowler Communities JFC is a faith-centered senior living community and nonprofit serving multiple generations since 1892

In the late 1880s, Juliette Peak Fowler dreamed of building a facility to care for aged and orphans. She traveled throughout the country researching social service facilities, but died before launching her dream. Her will specified that 15 ยฝ acres of East Dallas land that she had purchased and a trust fund she had established were to be used for the benefit of widows and orphaned children. Through this act of benevolence, Juliette has been identified by The Dallas Morning news as Dallas' first major philanthropist. Her sister, Sarah Peak Harwood fulfilled Juliette's dream and chartered The Juliette Fowler Home for Children and the Aged in 1892 as a nonprofit in the state of Texas. In 1903, she created a formal association with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), a relationship that remains in tact today. The first home for children, opened in 1904 in Grand Prairie. Harwood Hall, the first permanent structure on the East Dallas property, began housing elders in 1911. In 1913 the children's program moved to the East Dallas location, thus fulfilling Juliette's vision for an intergenerational community. Juliette Fowler Communities' services have grown and evolved as the needs of society have changed. Today Juliette Fowler Communities includes twenty five acres, more than 150 team members, and serves more than 450 children, youth, and elders annually from the East Dallas location at 1234 Abrams.

There was a whole lot of pink at Fowler yesterday. ๐Ÿ’—

Residents and team members lined the route to cheer. Walkers moved through campus together. Friends encouraged one another. And Fowler resident artist paused along the way to capture the people and beautiful moments around her.

For many in the Fowler family, breast cancer has touched their lives personally or through someone they love. That made this morning of walking, learning, remembering, and supporting one another especially meaningful.

Our fourth annual Breast Cancer Awareness Community Walk & Program brought our community together for a morning of awareness, education, support, and hope.

Thank you to everyone who was part of such a meaningful morning. ๐Ÿ’—

We loved seeing some familiar Fowler faces on NBC 5! ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ’™

NBC 5 recently visited Fowler to talk with residents about ArtsInspire: Ageless Creativity and the role creativity can play in healthy aging.

As Nicole shared in the story, purpose matters at every age. Continuing to learn, create, and challenge our minds gives us meaningful ways to stay engaged throughout life, and art is one beautiful way to do just that.

We loved hearing our residents share what creating means to them. Take a few minutes to watch the story below!

Thank you to NBC DFW and Noelle Walker NBC5 for spending time with our community, and to LeadingAge Texas for inspiring through ArtsInspireโ„ข. ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŽจ

๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’š Today is World Mental Health Day.

As Ami Edge, LMSW and Ebby House Program Manager at Fowler, reminds us, caring for our mental health deserves the same attention and compassion we give our physical health.

Mental health challenges can touch anyone, at any age or stage of life. That includes young people navigating crisis or instability, caregivers carrying the emotional weight of supporting someone they love, and each of us managing the everyday stresses life can bring.

ometimes, the strongest thing we can do is simply say, โ€œIโ€™m not okay,โ€ and allow someone else to walk alongside us.

Today is a reminder to:
๐Ÿ’š Check in on yourself
๐Ÿ’š Check in on someone you love
๐Ÿ’š Give yourself permission to rest
๐Ÿ’š Ask for help when you need it
๐Ÿ’š Practice compassion โ€” for yourself and others
๐Ÿ’š Help reduce the stigma around mental health

You don't have to have everything figured out. You don't have to go through it alone. Letโ€™s create communities where seeking support is a sign of strength, not shame.

๐ŸŒฑ Your mental health matters. Your story matters. You matter.

Fowler has been out and about in the community! ๐Ÿ’™
Saleta represented Fowler at a Parkinsonโ€™s symposium last weekend, where she spent time connecting with attendees and even got to send one lucky door prize winner home with a plant. ๐ŸŒฟ Marisela also represented Fowler at the 2026 Aging & Housing Summit, bringing together organizations and resources focused on aging, housing, and support for older adults in Dallas.

Weโ€™re always grateful for opportunities to meet people where they are, share more about Fowler, and stay connected to the community we serve!

What a great night in the neighborhood! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š Fowler residents and teammates had such a strong turnout last night for National Night Out - East Dallas at Willis Winters Park, right next door to our campus.

It was wonderful to spend the evening with neighbors, families, and friends and to see so many familiar Fowler faces enjoying the fun together. Just one more reason weโ€™re proud to call East Dallas home!
