We had a wonderful pre-Easter party yesterday with our residents and daycare children. Lots of smiles, laughs and treats.

If you have a passion for teaching and caring for children please reach out. Would be a perfect few hours a day for a retired grandparent! 🥰

Last night our Executive Director and Daycare Director enjoyed an evening of good food and conversation while celebrating our community at the El Dorado Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner. We were blessed to be a silver sponsor this year. It was wonderful to see so many people come together for the good of El Dorado. Thank you to the El Dorado Chamber of Commerce for organizing the event.

🌻We have had the joy of working with the local El Dorado JAG-K programs on a scholarship for one of their students wishing to enter into the healthcare field. Today we were able to surprise the student that was chosen at their regional competition. We look forward to a continued partnership and opportunities for the students in El Dorado and the surrounding area.

🏆 Congratulations to Jewels Murphy on being awarded the $1000 scholarship. In her essay she wrote, 'My passion is to serve our country, save lives and to be a better person. I thrive on challenges and am dedicated to continuous self improvement." We think she will be an amazing nurse in the United States Navy!

All the day to day work and diligence was worth it today when our facility received a DEFICIENCY FREE state survey for our very first annual survey! We have only been open for a short amount of time, but have been putting in some work. Thank you to our wonderful staff and all that they do to care for our residents and their families. Also, thank you to the surveyors and other staff at KDADS for ensuring the safety of the elderly across the state of Kansas.

Everyone be safe out there this weekend!

UPDATE (1/22/2026, 11:35 a.m.): The NWS has upgraded our Watch to a Winter Storm Warning, in effect from noon Friday until noon Sunday. Yay.

ORIGINAL POST:
We’re just a day away from that very important point in the winter weather cycle: The Moment of Truth. That moment when one of two possibilities occurs:
• The winter storm arrives as predicted (with maybe a small 1-2 foot variance in total accumulations), or
• There is no winter storm (Storm? What storm? Who said anything about a snow storm?)

Right now, Mother Nature is still tracking her Winter Weather Wonderland toward us. Its arrival has been delayed a little bit… the white stuff is now expected to show up in our part of the state somewhere between 4pm and 8pm on Friday. But total snowfall predictions continue to be… robust. We now have a greater than 90% chance of seeing at least 4 inches of snow and about a 60% chance of seeing more than 8 inches of accumulation. Good news: we are still opting out of the freezing rain and ice (currently, the dividing line between all-snow and nasty-icy-mixed-precip appears to be the I-40 corridor down in Oklahoma. Stay… stay… stay….)

And as for the cold? Yep… still gonna be cold. The NWS has converted our Extreme Cold Watch to an “Air Will Hurt Your Face Advisory.” (Oh wait… it says Cold Weather Advisory. Close enough.) The temperature tumble starts overnight tonight as the mass of arctic air pushes into our neighborhood. By tomorrow morning, today’s 30-degree start will sound toasty. The coldest morning (and the best chance of getting close to -20 wind chills here) will be Saturday morning. But the whole weekend (through at least Monday morning) should be enjoyable… for polar bears. (There is still time to buy a plane ticket to somewhere that doesn’t do winter. Tempting.)

It was an honor to meet these students and talk about their futures. We are excited to announce the scholarship recipient in February at their regional competition.

El Dorado JAG-K just had Sunflower Care Homes stop by to speak with students about their new facility, future plans and career pathways. Sunflower merges long-term care alongside a daycare. They are providing a $1,000 scholarship opportunity for students who are interested in the nursing career field this year as well!
