🌟 Resident Spotlight: Robert 🌟

If there’s one person who can brighten a room the moment he walks in, it’s Robert ☀️

Robert is truly a joy of sunshine to everyone he meets. He stays involved in our activities, is always willing to lend a helping hand to others around the community, and brings kindness, laughter, and positivity wherever he goes. His welcoming spirit and genuine care for those around him make our community an even more special place to call home.

🧤🎄 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. ❄️💙

🌟 Staff Spotlight: Sharonda, LPN 🌟

Today we’d love to shine a light on one of our amazing nurses, Sharonda — a compassionate, dedicated member of our team who brings so much warmth and heart to our community.

Sharonda was born in California but now calls Godfrey home. She’s a proud mom of two boys, ages 19 and 12, and when she’s not caring for our residents, you can find her enjoying bowling, crafting, or catching up on some much-deserved SLEEP 😆.

Her journey into nursing is nothing short of inspiring. After her youngest son became seriously ill, Sharonda spent three months living at Children’s Hospital. It was during that difficult time that the incredible nurses caring for her son kept her grounded and supported. Their compassion changed her life. The very next year, in 2015, she applied to nursing school — determined to give other families the same comfort and care that had been given to hers.

Today, she does exactly that. Sharonda pours her heart into helping people, and it shows in every interaction.

We are so grateful to have you as part of our team, Sharonda. Thank you for all you do for our residents, their families, and our community. 💙✨

This month’s theme, “All Aboard the Charter Express,” 🚂 ushers in winter as a ribboned scene where every carriage hums with possibility.

Through inter-generational programming, residents, families, and local youth come together to share, create, and discover, crafting keepsakes side by side, swapping stories that sparkle like holiday lights, and capturing moments that bridge the past and future.

Step off with pockets full of snow-kissed wonder, ready to thread these moments into daily life, and may the warmth you found aboard travel with you, lighting the way for others.

✨ For information on upcoming programs, please see your Community Life Engagement Director. 💫
