Last night, our Company experienced a fire at American House Southgate, and while it was a frightening event, we are deeply grateful to share that all residents are safe and accounted for.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to the first responders and firefighters whose quick action and professionalism ensured everyone’s safety. We also want to recognize our incredible team members, who acted swiftly and with compassion and our neighbors and community partners who stepped in without hesitation to offer help and support.

In moments like this, we are reminded that our community is so much more than a building—it’s the people who live, work and care within it. Thank you to everyone who has reached out with kindness and concern. We will continue to share updates as more information becomes available and appreciate your ongoing support as we move forward together.

The Plainfield Girl Scouts of Plainfield had our residents participate in "Reverse" Trick-or-Treat. All these kids dressed up, knocked on doors, yelled "Trick-or-Treat," and then gave our residents candy! We had 7 troops in our community for the last 2 days.

Monday is here, and as promised, your dose of Disney fun! The Life Enrichment conference's theme this year was Be Our Guest, and our Life Enrichment leaders went all in 😍 It was a BLAST to mingle with other leaders from all across our American House communities. It was a delight to see which Disney character each leader connected with. An added bonus: seeing double (or triple!) was a real hoot!

But the content is still NOT over!! Our Life Enrichment leaders didn't just have dinner...there was a magic show too! Keep your eyes peeled tomrrow for more magic (literally!) 👀

Happy 95th Birthday to Ligia. Ligia met Sam Hyson, who performed for our community back in March. He sang a Colombian song to her. She remembered how he made her feel and requested him back for her Birthday celebration. Sam came back and played "Colombian medleys for her," which made her birthday that more special. We love it when our entertainers go above and beyond! 🎂 🎁

We had a great and informative speaker, Michele M. Nichols-Yehling. She is the Director of Public Observing at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, IL, and has worked at the Adler for over 30 years. The residents had many questions about the Universe and our Galaxy. We can't wait for her next visit; she will be giving a presentation about the moon.
