🍪 Baking Adventures at Charter Senior Living of Murray! 🍪

Today our residents and staff had the best time trying out a brand-new cookie recipe! There was plenty of laughing with (and at!) each other as everyone placed their bets on how these cookies would turn out… most were convinced we’d end up with one giant cookie cake. 😄

But little did we know—they turned out SO good! And once we added the homemade cream cheese icing… game over. Absolutely delicious!

Yes, we made quite the mess along the way, but every drop of batter was worth it for the smiles, teamwork, and sweet memories made. ❤️

🎉 Happy Birthday to Joseph! 🎉

Our one and only Environmental Service Director, bus driver, fixer of literally everything, and the only guy brave enough to work with a building full of women. 😅

He keeps us laughing, keeps us rolling (literally, in the bus), and somehow manages to sneak in more snacks and candy than should be humanly possible. 🍫🍬

Joseph might joke around nonstop, but he’s got one of the biggest hearts you’ll ever find. Our residents adore him—and honestly, so do we. 💙

🏈 Jersey Day at Charter Senior Living of Murray! 🏀

Today, our residents and team rocked their favorite teams like pros! From the sidelines to the dining room, we brought the game-day spirit loud and proud. 💙 Because at Charter, we’re all on the same team — and we always play with heart. ⚾️ 🥅 🏒

Fun fact: jerseys actually started because teams needed a way to tell who was on which side—so they didn’t accidentally tackle their own players. Then the Channel Island of Jersey made a tough knitted fabric everyone loved, athletes wore it, and boom — jerseys were born.

💧The Flourish Mixology Drink Bar – Hydration with Purpose 💧

At Charter Senior Living of Murray, our Flourish℠ Memory Care team is always looking for innovative ways to enhance the health, happiness, and quality of life for residents. One of our most meaningful programs — the Mixology Drink Bar — was created with that very goal in mind.

Research shows that up to one in four older adults in long-term care experience dehydration, with even higher risks for those living with dementia. Many residents may not recognize when they’re thirsty or may forget to drink, leading to health complications like confusion, headaches, or infections.

Our Mixology Drink Bar provides a purposeful and engaging way to encourage hydration. Through colorful beverages, fresh fruit garnishes, and inviting aromas, residents enjoy new flavors and social connection — all while maintaining healthy hydration levels. This program helps reduce “flavor fatigue” by offering variety and choice, and it creates moments of joy through participation, conversation, and sensory stimulation.

Beyond the drinks themselves, this daily program promotes dignity, independence, and belonging, key pillars of our Flourish Philosophy. We’re proud to nurture purpose and possibilities every day — one refreshing sip at a time. 🌿
