Who needs an ice rink when you’ve got pool noodles, a beach ball, and a hallway full of playful spirit? 🏒☀️

Our Memory Care residents brought the heat in this week’s hallway hockey showdown! With pool noodles as sticks and laughter as our soundtrack, everyone got in on the fun—some even showed off their competitive side 👀🔥

Just another day redefining what activity looks like in Memory Care.

Fresh pasta, made with love (and plenty of flour)🍝!

Residents rolled up their sleeves for a hands-on pasta-making class—mixing, kneading, and shaping their own noodles from scratch. Once cooked, each resident chose their favorite sauce to top off their masterpiece. The room was filled with smiles, delicious aromas, and that unmistakable feeling of “I made this!”

Homemade never tasted so good.

🌸 Scent, creativity, and connection filled the air during this relaxing craft session.

Our residents spent the afternoon making beautiful wax sachets—each one crafted with their choice of fragrance, dried flowers, and essential oils. The room smelled amazing, but even better was the laughter and conversation shared as everyone admired each other’s unique creations.

It’s little moments like these that leave a lasting impression.

Bingo, belly laughs, and time with loved ones — what more could you ask for?

We transformed our Memory Care space into a full-on bingo hall for a family night filled with joy, connection, and just the right amount of friendly competition. From themed décor to prizes and snacks, the room was full of love and laughter.

These are the moments that matter most. 💛

When 90-year-old Connie and 1-year-old Levi rolled through the community side by side, we couldn’t help but smile. ❤️ Two generations, two wheels, and one beautiful reminder that mobility is freedom at every age.

Shirley’s latest work is a masterclass in color harmony and subtle gradients. 🎨✨ Using a blend of soft blues and greens, she crafted a composition that evokes both tranquility and movement—proof that simplicity can be just as powerful as complexity. With delicate spray and brush techniques, she transformed an upcycled frame into a striking study of modern minimalism.
Art is ageless, and creativity knows no bounds. Bravo, Shirley!
