Last week we hosted our staff Christmas party onsite 🎄
With our old jail cells as the backdrop, we turned the night into a murder mystery behind bars 🕵️‍♂️🔒
The evening was filled with a hosted murder mystery game, dinner, drinks, plenty of laughs, and some very competitive inmate games—even the Grinch made an appearance and tried to steal Christmas! 🎅💚
Safe to say no one wanted an early release—it was a night to remember with an incredible team!

We recently had a wonderful visit from a group of local school children who stopped by the Abilities OT office to learn more about what we do! 🧡

Our director, Tim, gave them a behind-the-scenes look at occupational therapy—showing them the ropes, sharing a few laughs, and even giving some fun (and funny!) examples of the everyday challenges people may face as they get older. The giggles definitely filled the room!

What made the day extra special was hearing the children share their own stories and experiences. Their curiosity, kindness, and thoughtful questions reminded us why we love connecting with our community.

Thank you for visiting us—come back anytime! 🙌✨

Here’s to all the Occupational Therapists making a difference — Happy OT Day! 🙌
