Snowed In — But Still Having Fun!

When our activity team couldn’t make it in because of last week’s snow, our amazing CNAs stepped right in and brought the fun indoors, literally! They gathered fresh snow from outside so residents could make their own snowmen without braving the cold.

The residents had an absolute blast… even if their hands got a little chilly!

What a creative way to keep the joy going, no matter the weather!

Senior Care Network is a philanthropic organization dedicated to supporting local seniors and the nonprofits who serve them. This talented group of professionals works collaboratively to connect seniors with the care and resources they need—always placing service to others above all else. It’s truly something special to witness.
Each year, the Member of the Year award is voted on by fellow members and recognizes an individual who goes above and beyond as a resource within the group and throughout the community.

Congratulations to Claire Lantz, this year’s Member of the Year! Your dedication, compassion, and commitment to serving seniors make a lasting impact.

🎁 Happy Make a Gift Day! 🎁

December 3rd is all about creativity, kindness, and the joy of giving. Today, we’re celebrating Make a Gift Day by encouraging everyone to create something heartfelt — whether it’s a handmade craft, a card, a treat, or a small gesture of appreciation.

Our community loves days like this because they remind us that the most meaningful gifts aren’t always bought… they’re made with love.
We can’t wait to see the thoughtful creations our residents and staff come up with!

Happy Make a Gift Day from all of us at Arcadia Care.
