The Barns learned some Spanish yesterday! Who says there’s an age limit to learning? Certainly not us 😉; we also learned what maracas are and how to play them!

Alright guys- I have a secret I’ve been holding on to but now that it’s finally March it is time… for MARCH MADNESS! All of the assisted living facilities will be participating for a chance to win a party to spring April into action! The rules are simple: participation is key, so is having fun, and the facility with the most points by the end of March will win! The more people participate, the greater the chances will be… so encourage your family members to join me. I will be keeping everyone updated - with silly videos on TikTok as well so be sure to follow to see fun behind the scenes! For residents who don’t have a competitive side well that’s just fine- we’ll still have activities for everyone 🫶
