What a fun afternoon we had with Molly from Compassus! She brought in adorable Turkey craft kits that each resident could make themselves. It was wonderful reminiscing together about cooking turkeys for Thanksgiving and the special moments they shared with their families.

Thank you again, Molly, for bringing so much joy to our residents.

A Day of Music, Laughter, and Gratitude at The Arc at Chillicothe

What a fun and uplifting day we had with Rich Gilmore, who filled our halls with music, dancing, and smiles! Both residents and staff were out on the floor enjoying every song and moment together.

To make the day even sweeter, Transitions Care treated everyone to cinnamon rolls and apple fritters, and we can’t thank Jessica and Susan enough for not only bringing these delicious treats but also sharing their warm smiles and hugs.
It was a perfect fall day filled with joy, music, and community spirit!

We’re always touched to hear from residents who have had a meaningful experience with us. Recently, Javon shared how much she appreciated the therapy team and caring staff during her stay at The Arc at Chillicothe.

Stories like hers remind us why we do what we do, providing comfort, compassion, and connection to every resident who calls Arcadia home.

Today is National Pickle Day, and we had a fun celebration with our residents and staff!

Did you know that pickling has been around for thousands of years? And that drinking pickle juice may help relieve muscle cramps faster than water?

All we know for sure is that the pickles were a hit! Missy — Activity Director, and Sam — Human Resources, served up the pickles along with crackers and cheese for a tasty little appetizer before lunch.

What a delicious way to celebrate the day!

Homemade Doughnut Day!

Today in Activities, our residents rolled up their sleeves and made homemade doughnuts! From shaking up the cinnamon sugar and powdered sugar mixes to enjoying the sweet results, everyone had a fantastic time.

The best part? The wonderful conversation that followed — reminiscing about baking in their own kitchens and sharing memories of their favorite dishes to make and serve.

Moments like these remind us that it’s not just about the treats — it’s about the laughter, stories, and connections that make our community feel like home.
