🎉 Last week we celebrated the amazing team that makes providing great care possible! 🎉

We truly couldn’t do what we do without each and every one of you. Thank you for showing up every day with dedication, compassion, and teamwork!

We kicked off Spirit week with “Roll the Dice” over a delicious pancake-and-bacon breakfast. 🥞
Then we kept the fun going with a lively round of “Guess Who”, followed by some mid-week excitement with PLINKO on Wednesday!
To wrap things up, we finished strong with “Pluck a Feather”—a special game for the players who scored enough points to land in the top 25 of our leaderboard! 🏆🪶

Thank you all for your hard work, enthusiasm, and unwavering commitment. We appreciate you more than you know! 💙🙌

National Fire Prevention Week is the perfect time to review simple steps that can save lives:

🚫 Never leave space heaters unattended — and keep them at least 3 feet from anything that can burn.
⚡ Don’t overload power strips or extension cords.
🏃‍♂️ Have a family evacuation plan — and practice it!
📍 Designate a safe meeting place outside your home.
🧯 Check that your fire extinguishers are charged and accessible.
