Everyone loved getting to create a flower bouquet and were so happy to spend time with the wonderful women in their life 💕what a special day it was! Thank you to Moments Hospice for providing flowers and helping with the event!

I'll be partnering up with The Beacon at Mapleton and taking a fresh round of "Senior Photos" this spring, and I need your help! 📸

I'm looking for a few creative, and compassionate individuals to help us give the residents an experience they cherish forever. 🌟

We're currently in search of:

💇‍♀️ hair stylist - basic styling for 14 adult men and women
💄makeup artist - experience working with older adults preferred
👕 Clothing donations - Gently used clothing items ranging in sizes Med-Large for both men & women - these items can be dropped off at The Beacon in Mapleton during their business house.
*(our date is tentatively the afternoon of Monday, May 18th)

I've been thinking about this idea for a while, and I've seen first hand how impactful a professional photoshoot can be. 🩷 Everyone deserves to experience feeling like the main focus, we're working on making it happen.

If you know of anyone to recommend for these services, please tag them below. Thank you! ☺️

Who else remembers those special evenings where you’d turn the living room into your own little movie theater? Blankets over the windows to make it extra dark, a plate full of snacks ready to go, and everyone snuggled in waiting for the movie to start. Those were the best kind of nights!

Today, we’re bringing those same cozy memories to life as we turned our space into a movie theater for our residents to enjoy — complete with snacks, fun lights, pop, and blankets 😊 Happy Friday to all!

We planned a Snow Week to keep our spirits high as we trudge along through winter!💙

This past week was packed with fun as we celebrated our Snow Week in style. From music entertainment to a friendly snowman building competition; there was never a dull moment. ☃️

Of course, no winter celebration is complete without a hot chocolate bar. And to make the week extra special, each of our residents was crowned a snow week king or queen - because royalty deserves to be celebrated. 👑

What a fun week making the most of our Minnesota winter!
