This month we celebrated the birthday of the Blue Jean (May 20th). We collected blue jeans from staff and recycled them into a collaborative art piece: hanging denim feathers off a stick. The tedious task brought lots of conversation time, laughter, and fine motor skill exercises. The end result was beautiful and can be seen […]
Our residents love getting together on Friday afternoons and singing along to some of their favorite songs. The hardest part is trying to remember what we want to sing!

Our ladies really enjoy arranging the fresh flowers they receive bi-weekly from Three Peas In A Pod. It’s a time to be in touch with nature, reminisce, and bond with good friends.

If we truly believe that kindness can have a significant and positive impact on […]
Do you prefer chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry? Our ice cream parlor was opened on May 25th with delicious ice cream sundaes. Residents were able to choose their favorite ice cream and a variety of toppings. The parlor was filled with nostalgia as one Resident reflected on her fond memories of making and serving ice cream […]
We were so excited to welcome Carrie, Don, Allene, and Fran into their new home on our opening day. Each new resident had the opportunity to cut the ribbon at the entrance to their apartment. Families were invited to a celebratory lunch, and everyone enjoyed meeting their new neighbors. We have since welcomed five more […]
We had a wonderful time at our Mother’s Day Tea. Everyone enjoyed the many hats that our Marketing Director, Cindy, provided for us to look at and wear for the tea.
