What a special day! The trishaw was in Barron for a couple weeks, so we had the absolute joy of taking some of our tenants on rides through the neighborhood, and the smiles and waves said it all. There’s something joyful about feeling the wind on your face, taking in the fresh air, and seeing familiar places from a new perspective.
It was a moment of connection, freedom, and pure joy.

Here’s to more days like this!

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of taking our tenants on a little outing to the local farmer’s market, Country Lane Market in Barron. What a beautiful day it turned out to be! From fresh produce and homemade jams to vibrant flowers and food trucks, it was such a joy to explore the stalls together, support local vendors, and just take a breather from the usual routine.

Watching everyone laugh, chat with the vendors, and pick out their favorite fruits and veggies reminded us of how important community really is — not just where we live, but how we live together. Grateful for moments like these!

We held our 2nd Annual Freedom Ride last week, and it was such a fantastic day! Blue Hills HOG Chapter joined us again this year to take the tenants for a trip around town on their spectacular motorcycles. Many who took a ride last year made sure to do it again, while others experienced the thrill of it for the first time!

Thank you so much to everyone at Blue Hills HOG Chapter for creating another unforgettable day for us! We had a blast.

Different types of wheelchairs offer a variety of options for not only how they look, but also how they feel, how they fit, how they respond, and what they can enable you to do. Choosing the correct wheelchair can mean the difference of maximizing your mobility and experiencing chronic discomfort or worse, adding additional medical problems.

We are excited to announce the HomeGROWN promotion of Emily Gudis to director of operations for Dove Healthcare’s six assisted living locations!

Emily is responsible for overall performance and operations, which includes supervising the assisted living directors and assisted living nurse consultants. Our assisted living locations will benefit greatly from an enhanced, collaborative focus on developing goals, implementing strategy, identifying efficiencies, and leveraging resources

Dove Healthcare has experienced great success over the years with our HomeGROWN approach: recognizing passion, dedication, and capabilities in team members and then supporting them with growth as opportunity arises.

Emily is the perfect fit for this new position having achieved multiple promotions since joining our team almost 10 years ago. She has advanced from resident assistant, lead resident assistant, assistant director, director, multi-location director, and administrator.

We are thankful for Emily’s amazing results with employee recruitment and retention, strong occupancy, positive survey performance, and overall operations. Her breadth of experience - combined with positivity, passion, and commitment - has prepared her for success as director of operations – assisted living.

Emily and her husband stay busy raising their two young children and tending to the needs of their growing hobby farm.

Please help us in congratulating Emily on this HomeGROWN promotion!

Thanks to the generous donations and successful efforts through the Dove Healthcare Community Foundation, a brand new trailer has been purchased to transport our new trishaw bike, and we couldn’t me more excited!

With the trailer, we can take the trishaw to other community locations (including Dove Healthcare - Rice Lake), giving their residents or community members a chance to enjoy a ride, feel the wind in their hair, and take in the sights. Whether it’s a senior living community, a local event, or a neighborhood gathering, we’re excited to bring this uplifting experience to more people.

We’re also thrilled to share that several team members have completed official trishaw pilot training, so we’re ready to safely give rides and create memorable experiences for everyone involved.

We are so grateful to everyone who helped make this happen. Your support is making a real difference - one ride at a time!

As we age, the gradual decline in muscle mass and strength worsens with each passing decade. There are several factors that contribute to the loss of strength over the years with decreased participation in physical activities being one of the factors. "If you don't use it, you lose it."

We had a great time on the greens at the Barron Chamber of Commerce Golf Classic on Monday! It was all for a great cause for the Chamber, and we couldn't have asked for better weather or a better excuse to swing a few clubs. Not to mention the great food at Rolling Oaks Supper Club & Lounge and the awesome raffles!

Our team of Hannah, Peyton, Jena, and Cameron gave it their all and proudly finished 5th out of 8 teams - not quite on the top, but definitely top-tier in spirit! Lori, our community development coordinator and Chamber member, was there to cheer them on, too.

A huge thanks to the Barron Chamber and everyone who came out to support. We can't wait for next year!
