Have you read Ole Winter’s article in the The Driftless?

His mention of a fountain pen sparked a wonderful bit of nostalgia for us at The Highlands Assisted Living and today, Adam Mertzenich and his father, Claude, stopped by with a collection of fountain pens Adam still uses. Beautifully crafted, nostalgic, and full of stories, each pen sparked great conversation.
Ole even shared his own pen from his college days at St. Olaf College — just a few years ago in 1946 😊
Thank you for the stories, the history, and a delightful day of connection!

It was such a pleasure delivering Valentine's flowers to all of our residents and tenants here at The Highlands on behalf of The Country Garden Flowers and Gifts! Joellen and her team, as well as all those from the community who donated, created some very sweet smiles and many many thanks from our residents. We appreciate all your kindness this Valentine's season! 💗

Looking for work that truly matters — and a place to call home? Just ask Queen. She began her healthcare journey more than 20 years ago as a CNA at only 19, and no matter where life took her, she always found her way back to caregiving — it was her calling. At The Highlands and Aase Haugen, Queen grew her career, earned advanced degrees, and built a life right here in Decorah while serving the elders she loves. You can do the same. Join a team that supports your education, invests in your future, and welcomes you into a caring community. Come build your career — and your home — with us. Apply online at highlands.org!
