Happy national cuddly kitty day AND puppy day!! We were lucky enough to be visited by both cats and a dog today— Cici (calico tabby) and Carmilla (tuxedo Hemingway) spent time with us in the morning and Josie the golden retriever visited us after lunch. There were so many smiles today!! 🐈🐈‍⬛🦮❤️

We didn’t get very many pictures of our musical performance today because we were ROCKING out with Scott Heiserman! He surprised residents by showing off his harmonica skills and backing tracks, with acoustic guitar and his voice as the main stars of the show. He also surprised staff by having us dance along to the Hokey Pokey! 🕺😆
We had a BLAST with all the upbeat music and we are so very excited to have Scotty back with us as soon as we can! Thank you Scott for a musical afternoon!🥁🎸🎤🎶

Happy (belated) St. Patrick’s Day! We got to celebrate with Chuck Theil of The Jolly Ramblers. He played wonderful music on his concertina and told us some jokes— it felt good to sing and laugh!🪗
We also got to eat some delicious treats— themed cupcakes and Leprechaun Punch. What a splendid afternoon we had! ☘️💝

Our weekly bible study on Heritage Square, our memory care unit, was made extra sweet today with some cake! Nothing like faith and sweet treats to bring people together on a Friday afternoon! 🍰💝

It was a fantastic and beautiful morning here at The Legacy!!💝💝
To celebrate International Women’s Day, we invited Valorie L., owner of a golden retriever breeding program called Tails of Gold, to speak to us about her experience as a woman in business.

With 26+ years of experience, Valorie provided us with an in-depth look at to what a healthy breeding program looks like. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and answered all of our questions spectacularly!
Along with her knowledge, Valorie brought not one, not two, but four of her golden retrievers to spend the morning with us! She brought two of her dames and two puppies, one which is up for sale!
If you’ve been in the market for a family friendly, healthy, and well-trained dog, reach out to Valorie via the Tails of Gold website. 🐕

It has been a while since some of our residents have held a puppy, and we send our biggest thanks to Valorie and her entourage who took time out of their day to not only showcase the experience of a woman in business, but provide lots of love and cuddles to residents and staff alike! We hope to see our new friends back soon!❤️🐾☀️

Happy World Wildlife Day!! We spent our afternoon with Larissa and three of her leopard geckos! Larissa is a gecko handler with 11 years of experience and she brought her geckos Marie, Lorelei, and Brutus to teach us about these interesting creatures! One of our residents was even brave enough to face her fear of reptiles and give these geckos a chance🫶
We learned so much and had a great time just watching the geckos interact with the world!🦎☀️

We had such a wonderful time at our very first Lunch with Deputies at The Legacy of Delano!

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible deputies from the Wright County Sheriff's Office for taking time out of your busy day to join us. Our residents truly enjoyed the conversation, laughter, and the opportunity to connect with those who serve and protect our community every day.

Your presence means so much, and we are grateful for the relationships being built around the table. We look forward to many more lunches together! 💙🚔

What a weekend!
Yesterday, we were grateful to spend our afternoon with a group of members from West Pointe Church. They provided treats, manicures, hand massages, and games! The ‘social hour’ turned into the ‘2 hour social’ and many of the residents agreed that the West Pointe Church group is welcome back anytime!
Thank you again to those at West Pointe Church who shared their afternoon with us, it was a pleasure to have you! ☀️💝

Thank you to the Animal Humane Society for their wonderful event ‘Coffee and Companions’ today — we got to play bingo first thing in the morning while having a sweet treat and coffee! We were then able to spend time with the animals around the facility.
We were lucky enough to spend time with Marvin, the sweetest and cuddliest cat in the whole world! He made sure to flop on all of our laps and get as many pets as possible, which is why it was so hard to get a good picture— he was always on the move! He’s also a big purr machine and gives lots of kisses! Marvin had a cone on because they had to do a slight amputation on his tail, but he still balances, jumps, and plays just fine! As one of our resident’s said: “He jumps up for pets, gives you a few kisses, and melts in your lap.” What can be better than that?
If you’re looking for the sweetest and friendliest feline to add to your family, go meet Marvin at the Animal Humane Society in Golden Valley! (Unless, of course, we convince our executive director to let us keep him as a community cat 😉).
We always enjoy our trips to the Animal Humane Society and time sure does fly while we are there! 🐈☕️❤️

Spark Games Thursday! We did our best to get a combined total of 12.38 miles for our arm and leg crank challenge! We’ve been doing so well this round, and it’s no doubt because our cheerleaders are fantastic! 💪💪
