Brightwood Center’s Annual In-House Trick-or-Treat!

What a spooktacular evening at Brightwood Center! Our residents had an amazing time handing out candy and visiting with all the super cute and scary costumes, superheroes, disney characters and princesses who stopped by. 👻✨

A huge thank-you to our wonderful residents for spreading so much joy, to our dedicated staff for helping make the event such a success, and to our generous community members for donating candy — your kindness made the night extra sweet!

Our residents even got in on the fun by voting for the Best Costume, and we’re thrilled to announce that Mikayla Petrosky and Joan Harrison took home first place! 🎉

A special shout-out to Papa John’s Pizza for providing delicious pizza for all the kids — it was a big hit!

Events like these truly bring our community together, and we’re already looking forward to making next year’s Annual Trick-or-Treat at Brightwood Center even bigger and better!

To: All Staff, Families, and Community Members

It’s that wonderful time of year again — our annual Adopt-a-Resident program is underway at Brightwood Center!

We already have many individuals and groups expressing interest in adopting a resident, and we want to share this information early to give everyone ample time to prepare. Those who wish to participate are asked to have all gifts and items delivered to Brightwood Center by December 15th. This allows our team enough time to organize everything and ensure each resident receives their gifts in time for Christmas Eve delivery.

What an incredible evening at the Brooke County Area Chamber’s annual Trunk or Treat! Brightwood Center is always grateful to be part of this wonderful community tradition that brings families together for such a fun and festive night.

Our team went all out with this year’s Alice in Wonderland theme, complete with colorful decorations, creative costumes, and plenty of treats to share. We loved seeing all the smiling faces, the amazing costumes, and the excitement from every child (and adult!) who stopped by our trunk.

A huge thank you to the Brooke County Area Chamber for organizing another successful event — we’re already looking forward to next year!

Don’t forget to vote for Brightwood Center on the Brooke County Area Chamber page starting tomorrow through Halloween! 🎃
