🍩 A huge thank you to our local hospitals for letting us stop by and spread a little cheer with donuts! We’re so grateful for the sweet partnership — and for sprinkling us with referrals along the way.

🌟 Last week, we had the pleasure of getting out and about in our community! 🌟

Our team made special visits to local hospitals to show some love and appreciation to the amazing nurses and social workers who work so hard every day. 💙 We brought along some of our favorite treats to brighten their day and say thank you for all they do!

Supporting each other across the healthcare continuum is what it’s all about — and we’re grateful for these partnerships that help us provide the very best care. 💐🍪

Teamwork in Action!

A huge THANK YOU to the Northwest Yeti Baseball Team and the amazing families of our department heads for showing up today and helping us clean up the facility grounds!

Together, we:
• Removed old mulch
• Added 21 tons of decorative rock to the front and side of the building
• Trimmed overgrown bushes and trees
• Pulled weeds
• Cleared and moved a large amount of brush

It was a hot and busy day, but your time, energy, and positive attitudes made a huge difference. Our residents will love the refreshed and beautiful outdoor space!

We are so grateful for the teamwork and support—this truly shows what community is all about.

🐣🐥 Exciting News from Our Nest! 🐥🐣

Over the past few weeks, our residents and staff have been filled with anticipation as we waited for something egg-stra special… baby chicks! 🐤💛

We watched closely every day, checking the incubator and sharing stories about farm life and baby animals. The joy and excitement grew with each little peep and wiggle. And when hatch day finally came — what a magical moment! 🌟

Now that our chicks are here, we’ve been enjoying every second of cuddling, loving on them, and soaking in their sweet little chirps. It’s been a wonderful experience that brought smiles, memories, and connection to everyone in our community.

There’s nothing quite like new life to remind us of the simple joys. 💕
