🎃NOW ACCEPTING DONATIONS! 👻🍬
Each year, our residents light up when they get to greet little superheroes and pumpkins at our indoor Trick-or-Treat. If you’re able, a small donation of individually wrapped treats or non-food goodies helps us welcome every child who visits.

📍 Drop-off is at Peaceful Pines now through October 29th.
Allergy-friendly items are a big help. Thank you for spreading the Halloween fun! 🧡

Friday we had our Salad Cook-Off Competition where several staff and residents brought their best salads to share! We had numerous taste-testers who rated each salad based on its appearance, texture, and taste! The competition ended with a winner in each category, and two salads winning best overall! 🥇🥈🥉🤤💕

Wednesday was a day full of adventure and family. For lunch, we had a family grill out! Nothing is better than enjoying a grilled burger with family. 🇺🇸 🍔
Later that afternoon, we stretched our legs at McCrory Gardens. It was so beautiful out there, and the butterflies were everywhere. 🦋🌸🌻
