The corned beef was salted with care,
There’s Irish delight in the air.
A St. Paddy’s Day win,
Let the feasting begin,
With plenty of clover to spare!

🍀 Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with rhythm, Irish music and creativity! 🍀

Kristin led our residents through a Rhythmic Times session today with music, movement, instrument playing and creativity. Using drums and other percussion instruments, residents explored the lively rhythms of Irish music and created their own joyful sounds together.

The room was filled with energy as familiar Irish tunes inspired tapping feet, smiling faces, and plenty of laughter. Moments like these remind us that music is a wonderful way to spark creativity, build connection, and celebrate culture together. Thanks to Act on Alz Mankato for helping to provide these sessions in our community!

All That Jazz! 🎷✨

We had a "swelley" time this morning at our Roaring '20s sing-a-long! Beth kept the tunes coming and the spirits high as we celebrated the golden age of jazz.

Check out these smiles! Who knew the 1920s could look so good in 2026?

Now THAT is servant leadership! 👏

Our Chaplain Chris was busy this afternoon, making sure our residents passing through the lobby were called to the smell of fresh Krumkake. From spiritual guidance to master baker—is there anything he can’t do?

We are so grateful for these moments of extra care that make Pillars of Mankato such a special place to call home. 🏠🥐
