✨Have Yourselves a GRATEFUL Little Christmas✨

Hello From Laurens Care Center,

One day, our activities staff dreamed of sharing the warm fuzzy feeling of gratitude. Tirelessly our residents and staff colored leaves and shared what brought them gratitude. Before long, we had enough gratitude leaves to create an entire gratitude tree that we proudly displayed at the care center.

Alas, we knew our leaves needed to be shared with the whole town, so we thought up a project, and we thought it up quick! We transformed our gratitude leaves into wreaths and behold our gratitude Christmas wreaths were born just in time to be decorations for our Christmas tree at the Laurens Festival of Trees. A special thank you to the Methodist Church in Laurens for hosting this beloved Christmas tree tradition.

This holiday season, we ask that you spread the warm, fuzzy feeling of gratitude by sharing what you are grateful for with those around you and in the comments section below.

We hope you had yourselves a GRATEFUL little Christmas yesterday. Thank you for trusting us with your most precious gifts this holiday season- your family/our residents.

With Comfort, Care, and Compassion,
Laurens Care Center

We can’t say thank you enough for your generosity and kindness!! Thank you for remembering our residents at Christmas time, Pocahontas Community Hospital!

We want to give a huge shout out to our Pocahontas Community Hospital elves for, once again, decking our halls with Christmas presents for our residents. In November, we gave PCH star tags with each residents room number, gender, and 3 things they’d like for Christmas. They placed these tags on a tree in the hospital for their employees to “Adopt a Grandparent”. Then they hand delivered all of these gifts this week to us! We cannot thank you enough for all the work, love, and care that went into every step of this process for our residents. THANK YOU, PCH!!!! 💚❤️💚❤️

It’s a “Marshmallow World” here at the Laurens Care Center, and we just had to share these Laurens, Iowa winter views with you. 🤍❄️

🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
It's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year around
Those marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose won't freeze

Ps. check out the last picture to see how accurate the lyrics to this song really are ❤️

THANK YOU to our local pastors/ministers/reverends for coming up with the idea for our town’s ecumenical Thanksgiving service to be hosted by Laurens Care Center. Over two-thirds of our residents attended, and this turnout was a testament to how much it meant for us to be included. What a beautiful service filled with plenty to be thankful for in our busy little town of Laurens!
