Our Halloween was jam-packed with spooktacular fun! 🎃

We kicked things off with our 'Fright Night Cinema'–themed Employee Appreciation Lunch — complete with creepy treats, Pennywise and Jason, and plenty of screams! Our team really knows how to put on a show!

Then we opened our doors to the community for some trick-or-treating fun — it was amazing seeing all the little ghosts, goblins, and superheroes stop by!

And of course, our Halloween photo booth was a total hit — so many scary-good poses!

Thanks to everyone who joined in on the fun and helped make this Halloween one to remember.

This November, we pause to reflect during Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month. Let us come together to raise awareness of dementia. Millions of individuals and families walk this path each day—with courage, grace and love. Together, we can build a world that sees, supports and uplifts those affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Our annual trick-or-treating begins at 3:30! Our residents can’t wait to see you all again this year! Please come in the FIRST canopy door and head to the right!

See you soon!

SPOONtacular Halloween Fun! 👻

Who needs a haunted house when you’ve got a drawer full of spooky spoons? 😜 Our residents got crafty and turned ordinary wooden spoons into a lineup of frightfully funny (but super cute) Halloween faces — from ghostly ghouls to mummy masterpieces!

𝑪𝑰𝑨𝑶, 𝑩𝑬𝑳𝑳𝑨! 𝑰𝒕’𝒔 𝒂 𝑷𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒂 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒚!

Mangia, laugh, and live la dolce vita! Our residents enjoyed a night straight out of Italy at our “CIAO! It’s a Pasta Party!” dinner — and wow, what a bellissima evening it was!

From the moment guests arrived, the room was filled with the smell of fresh basil, clinking wine glasses, and the sweet sounds of live music by Dr. Bradley King.

🍷 A social hour to toast new and old friendships
🍝 Homemade chicken parmesan that would make Nonna proud
🍰 Fresh tableside cannoli's (yes, made right before your eyes by Lorrie Somers and Andrea Engle!)
🌹 And stunning Italian-inspired tablescapes that transported us straight to Tuscany!

Grazie mille to everyone who joined us for a night full of flavor, friendship, and fun. Here’s to many more evenings where every bite tastes like amore!
