Today we had the privilege to celebrate our Resident & Staff Veterans with a special Veterans Day lunch.
We had lunch catered by Joe's Italian DeRidder & visited with a few of our local Veterans.

Our staff (not pictured) reentered the work force after leaving the service & we are so proud to work alongside them. They work so hard to give our residents the best care possible & it doesn’t go unnoticed.

A special thanks to Harbor Hospice for sending recognition certificates to our residents. They lit up receiving them.

We feel truly honored & fortunate to show our gratitude to the brave men & women (residents, staff & guests) who have served & sacrificed for our country. Sharing a lunch together is a small token that could never measure up to the sacrifices they’ve made for our freedom.

🇺🇸 HAPPY VETERANS DAY 🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙

Last night’s Fall Fest was A 🎃 M🎃A🎃Z🎃I🎃N🎃G !
All week long we have been prepping and painting to make last night great & it was worth it.

I wish we had more pictures! But it was so wonderful to simply be in the moment and enjoy the evening with our residents and the community.
We had pumpkin painting, petting zoo, games, candy & Our first ever spooky maze!
We had some tough competition for this year’s chili cook off that everyone enjoyed tasting and voting on.
Cotton candy and popcorn were a hit! & our residents set up a caramel apple stand.

If you have any photos from last night please share them with us!
