This January opens like a fresh canvas brushed with possibility as we welcome a new year filled with creativity, curiosity, and lighthearted joy.

Our theme, Playology: The Art of Fun, celebrates the truth that play is something we carry throughout life. It strengthens our minds, nurtures our spirits, and connects us in beautifully meaningful ways.

This month, we are embracing play in a whole new way by exploring it through the many National Fun Days woven throughout January. With a full calendar of themed celebrations and creative moments, residents will have countless opportunities to jump in, explore freely, and enjoy the simple delight of play.

Together, we step into the new year with a joyful mindset that invites exploration, connection, and creative expression. Here is to a January filled with wonder, connection, and the beautiful art of play.

Good morning and Merry Christmas! 🎄✨

What a beautiful way to celebrate the season. Yesterday’s Christmas party was filled with laughter, joy, and so many special moments. Our Wishing Tree was a complete success—every gift was passed out, and the room was overflowing with smiles, gratitude, and holiday cheer.

I wish we could post every photo from yesterday, but between the mountain of presents and all the happy faces, there were just too many special moments to capture! 🎁📸😄

We truly cannot thank our community enough for the incredible love and support. Because of you, this Christmas has been nothing short of amazing. Wishing everyone a joyful, peaceful holiday filled with warmth and togetherness. ❤️🎄

This evening was filled with so much joy as a Cub Scout troop stopped by to spread Christmas cheer throughout our Assisted Living and Flourish Memory Care cottages! 🎄✨

From familiar carols to big smiles, their sweet voices brought the holiday spirit to life and truly made everyone’s night. There’s something so special about generations coming together, and our residents were absolutely delighted by this heartfelt visit.

Thank you to the Cub Scout Troop #83 for sharing your time, kindness, and Christmas cheer with our community — moments like these are what make the season so meaningful. ❤️🎶

They sang Christmas carols, shared story time, and filled our morning with pure holiday magic. 🎄✨

🎄The Grinch better stay far, far away… our Memory Care crew has been sharpening their aim! We had the best time with our “fun” gun target practice this morning, and the room was filled with laughter, teamwork, and a whole lot of Christmas spirit. These residents know how to have FUN!

✨ Our First Wishing Tree Wish Came True Today! ✨
One of our very first WISHING TREE wishes came to life this afternoon! 💛 While we’re doing drop-offs only, the Center Family kindly asked if they could personally hand their resident their gifts — and it was such a heartwarming moment to witness.

A HUGE thank you to the Center family for their generosity and love. 🎁💖

We are also thrilled to share some incredible news… every single one of our residents has now been picked from the Wishing Tree! Now ALL our wonderful residents will have an extra special something to open up for the holidays!🎄✨

Our community showed up in the most beautiful way, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you for helping us bring a little extra joy, magic, and holiday sparkle to our residents this season!

🧤🎄 It’s National Mitten Tree Day! 🎄🧤

Today, we’re celebrating the warmth of hands and hearts by decorating our very own Mitten Tree! Every mitten added to our tree isn’t just a decoration; it’s a symbol of love, kindness, and the joy of giving during the chilly winter months.

Everyone is invited to help “warm up” the season by contributing mittens, gloves, or hats to our giving tree. These items will be donated to local shelters and families in need.

Let’s come together, spread warmth, and turn our community tree into a tower of compassion. ❄️💙
