Our residents set out for a casual bus ride and turned it into a full-on adventure! First stop: McDonald’s for hot fudge sundaes—with fries for dipping (a must-try combo!).

With treats in hand and smiles all around, we wrapped up the outing with a visit to Butler Field to watch the planes and take in the sights.

Nothing like a little spontaneity to sweeten the day!

Ecumen Oaks & Pines team members, residents and families joined Hutchinson Health and the Hutchinson community by "CHALKing about Mental Health." Hopefully our creativity brightened someone's day with our cheerful drawings and powerful messages of hope.

A thoughtful donation with a big impact!

A generous family member recently gifted our community a wonderful collection of puzzle books—including crosswords, word searches, Sudoku, variety puzzles, adult coloring books, and more.

Residents had the chance to choose their favorites, supporting Intellectual Wellness through mental stimulation, Emotional Wellness by fostering relaxation and joy, and even Social Wellness as they shared and worked on puzzles together.

We are so grateful for gifts like this that support resident well-being in such meaningful ways!

Residents said, “Let’s go to Buddy Boy BBQ,” and we said, “Hop in!” A flavorful afternoon in Minnetrista full of smoked meats, smiles, and memories worth savoring.

Murals, frozen yogurt, and a whole lot of fun!

When our residents heard there were 29 murals around town, they said, “Let’s go!” Our first attempt in June was rained out, but July gave us perfect weather and an even better adventure.

We tracked down 21 murals on our outing and loved every minute of it! Along the way, we made a sweet stop at Below Zero for frozen yogurt and a little break in the shade.

Looks like we’ll be planning Round 2 in August to find the rest because you know we won’t stop at 21!

One of our residents, Bill, has spent years traveling the globe and capturing those adventures through photographs. He recently shared his journeys with our community, bringing his stories to life with rich details, stunning images, and unforgettable memories.

It was a wonderful opportunity to learn, reminisce, and be inspired by the places he's been and the experiences he’s had.

Big thanks to a generous donor for the incredible gift of a pool table! Our residents couldn’t wait to pick up the cue sticks and show off their skills—and the smiles say it all!

It’s amazing how a thoughtful donation can bring connection, fun, and purpose into our community.

One of the great things about our community is the way residents take the lead in creating fun. This group gathered on their own for a competitive game of Mexican Train Dominoes. With laughter, strategy, and a healthy dose of friendly competition, it’s always inspiring to see them make the most of each day—together.

When a resident says, "Let’s go to the movies!"... We make it happen!

One of our residents asked if we could take a trip to the theater to see the new Jurassic Park movie. So, we loaded up the bus and headed out for a matinee adventure.

The popcorn was hot, the dinosaurs were fierce, and the excitement was real—there was even clapping after the movie!

Moments like these remind us how fun it is to say YES to spontaneous joy.

There’s nothing better than fresh air and great company! Our residents soaked up a beautiful evening together, enjoying conversation, laughter, and the peaceful charm of summer at Ecumen Oaks & Pines.

We’ve also been loving the increase in photos submitted by our incredible team members lately! It's so inspiring to see the heart and investment our RAs are putting into both their roles and our community.

Help us celebrate our Team Member of the Month, Noah!

Noah truly embodies what it means to serve with heart. Here's what he had to say about working at Ecumen:

"I chose Ecumen for its core values. I really relate to Serve, because when you're working, you have to learn to help when needed—both for the residents and your fellow team members."

We’re proud to have team members like Noah who make a difference every day.

Mystery Envelope Madness! Our amazing Team Members were recently surprised with mystery envelopes — each hiding a fun or quirky prize! From jars of pickles to the chance to pass along an undesirable task to leadership, the reactions were priceless.

Team member Bri definitely scored big — she happily passed her task along to Lindy, our Clinical Director, with a big smile and a few laughs!

We’re so grateful for our team and love finding creative ways to show our appreciation.
