Happy St. Patrick’s Day from all of us at Van Horne Manor! ☘️

The shamrocks are green, the coffee is hot,
We may move a bit slower… but laugh quite a lot!

No chasing of rainbows or pots full of gold,
Our treasure is stories and friendships that hold.

So wear a bit of green and share a good cheer,
From all of us here wishing you luck all year!

☘️ Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️

💗 Pink Shirt Day at Van Horne Manor 💗
Today we’re proudly wearing pink in support of Pink Shirt Day — a day that reminds us to choose kindness, stand up against bullying, and lift one another up.
Our residents and staff came together in pink to show that no matter our age, kindness never goes out of style. 💕 A smile, a kind word, or a simple act of compassion can truly brighten someone’s day.
At Van Horne Manor, we believe in creating a community where everyone feels safe, valued, and respected. Today — and every day — we stand for kindness.💗
