Today is National Hugging Day 🤗
A hug can say so much—comfort, support, joy, and “you’re not alone”—all without a single word.

Whether it’s a friendly squeeze, a reassuring arm around the shoulder, or simply sharing a moment of closeness, today reminds us how powerful connection can be. Let’s celebrate the little gestures that bring people together and make our days a little brighter.

Who would you hug today? 💛

January at Riverbend Heights has been nothing short of action-packed—but one of the most unforgettable moments had to be our Staff Lip Sync Battle 🎶🔥

From bold performances to big personalities, our team brought the energy, the laughs, and a whole lot of fun. Days like this remind us that while our work is serious, the joy, teamwork, and connections we share make Riverbend such a special place to be.

Huge applause to our incredible staff for stepping out of their comfort zones and making memories we’ll be talking about all year long 👏💙

Today we honor Martin Luther King Jr. and reflect on his enduring legacy of courage, compassion, and justice.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

Dr. King’s words continue to remind us of the power of love, empathy, and peaceful action. His vision calls each of us to treat one another with dignity, to stand for what is right, and to work together toward a more just and united world.

Today, and every day, we remember his message and strive to carry it forward through kindness, understanding, and service.

Happy Winnie the Pooh Day 🍯
There’s something truly timeless about Winnie the Pooh—a storybook friend who has crossed generations, from childhood bedtime stories to cherished memories shared later in life.

In long-term care, those familiar stories, characters, and moments of nostalgia matter. They spark conversations, bring comfort, and remind us that connection doesn’t fade with time—it grows richer. Just like Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood, it’s about friendship, kindness, and feeling right at home.

Because sometimes the smallest things—like a classic story—take up the most room in our hearts. 💛

Today we celebrate National Benjamin Franklin Day 🇺🇸
Benjamin Franklin was far more than a Founding Father—he was an inventor, writer, diplomat, and lifelong learner whose ideas helped shape America.

From inventing the lightning rod and bifocals to helping establish the first public libraries and fire departments, Franklin believed strongly in education, innovation, and community responsibility. His curiosity and commitment to progress continue to influence science, public service, and everyday life centuries later.

A powerful reminder that one person’s ideas can truly change the world. ⚡📚

It’s National Fig Newton Day 🍪
A classic treat for a reason—just like quality skilled nursing and long-term care.
