As colder weather approaches this weekend, we’re doing what we do best at Bear Lake—staying warm, cozy, and together. 🤍

With Florida giving us our “one week of winter”, we’ll be enjoying indoor comforts, warm meals, favorite activities, and plenty of together time. From cozy corners to familiar routines, home is the best place to be when the temperatures dip. ❄️☕

Stay warm, friends—we’ll be soaking up every snug moment right here at Bear Lake. 🏡✨

Florida may be known for sunshine, but today brought a little chill—and we leaned all the way into it. 🎶

Cozy piano tunes by Joe, warm bowls of soup, and plenty of snuggles made it the perfect day at Bear Lake. 🥣❄️🥰

We love the holidays and the happiness they bring to our home. 💗

Our space is feeling extra festive as we jazz it up with Valentine décor and share a little more love with everyone who walks through our doors.

Happiest 76th Birthday to my Ruthie! 🎉💜

Birthdays are my favorite, and there was no way I was missing Sunday to celebrate this very special lady.

From the very first day Madelyn and I walked into her home for her assessment, she captured our hearts. Two years later, she is truly family. We love you so much and hope you had the most wonderful celebration surrounded by those who love you.

Always a good time with the Butterfly Lady 🦋

This month we learned all about camels—and it was fascinating to hear about the extreme costs associated with making coats or sweaters from the fur of certain species.

Education, curiosity, and great conversation all around. And trivia winner was Ruth. She got such a cute llama in pajamas!

Next month: Sea turtles 🐢💙

We kicked off yesterday morning the best way we know how—by moving our bodies! 💃🕺

Perfect Dancing is always a fan favorite in our house, bringing smiles, music, and so much joy to our residents.

The energy is contagious every single time.

Welcome home, Sylvia. 💕

Move-in day is more than unloading boxes—it’s the start of a new chapter. Transitions are critical, especially in memory care, not only for our residents but for the families placing their trust in us.

Today, alongside our regular care team, my assistant was present for the physical move-in to ensure Sylvia and her loved ones felt supported and reassured. After family left, I spent time walking Sylvia through the community, introducing her to new friends, and helping her feel comfortable in her new home—then could confidently update her family.

First impressions last. And when her daughter said,
“Thank you for sharing all this with me. I needed it.” ❤️
we were reminded why these moments matter so much.

Welcome home, Sylvia. You’re exactly where you belong. 🏠

Our residents stayed active today with morning exercise to get the blood flowing, followed by one of their all-time favorites this afternoon—disc toss! 🪣

Movement, laughter, and a little friendly competition made for a great day at Bear Lake. 💪🎯
