🙏 Every Wednesday, residents at Great Lakes are invited to gather in our chapel for Bible Study. It’s a special time to reflect, share, and grow together in faith and fellowship.

Whether you’re looking for encouragement, connection, or simply a quiet moment with scripture, Bible Study is a meaningful part of life on our campus. 💙

Last Friday was full of spooky smiles and sweet treats here at Great Lakes! We hosted our Trick or Treat event during the day, welcoming so many local children and families — what an incredible turnout! 🍬👧🧒

Our residents had just as much fun passing out candy as the kids did collecting it, and later, everyone joined in for a resident Halloween party filled with creative costumes, laughter, and festive fun. 🎭🧡

Thank you to everyone who made the day so memorable — our hearts (and candy bowls) are full!

For older adults, one of the most meaningful “gifts” isn’t something you can wrap in a box. It’s the gift of independence. Being able to move safely, manage everyday tasks on your own, and enjoy conversations with friends and family makes daily life safer and more enjoyable.

At Great Lakes, you’ll often find a puzzle or two in progress around the halls — waiting for residents, friends, or visitors to stop by and add a piece.

Puzzles aren’t just a fun pastime, they’re a great way to stay sharp, spark conversation, and enjoy the simple joy of working together toward a beautiful finished picture. 💙

Whether you place one piece or fifty, every little bit counts — and that’s the joy of community life at Great Lakes.
