Laurels
Nursing home moniker
Laurels are the leaves of the bay laurel tree, historically woven into wreaths to crown victors and poets in ancient Greece and Rome.
The word now typically appears in phrases about achievement and reputation.
To rest on your laurels is to coast on past accomplishments rather than pursue new ones.
To win your laurels is to earn distinction.
