Heartland Hospice “Huggers” joined the “Trusty Cherries” of Trustwell Living at Cherryvale Place to celebrate Assisted Living Week with a fun and competitive game of whiffle ball! Smiles, laughter, and a little friendly competition filled the hearts of residents and team members alike. What a beautiful way to celebrate community, joy, and togetherness!

September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. With over 300,000 new cases expected in 2025, it remains the most common non-skin cancer among men in this country. This year’s theme, Step Up for Blue, encourages men to take charge of their health through regular screenings and open conversations. Learn more: https://birdeye.cx/2avjtd

Ed with Heartland Hospice not only supports families through his important work in hospice care, but he also shares his time and talents to brighten the days of others. The residents at Lena Living Center loved the music, laughter, and kindness he brought into the room.

The theme for this National Assisted Living Week is “Ageless Adventure.” Our work regularly gives us a front row seat to the way these communities empower residents to stay active, engaged, and supported. If you have a family member or loved one in assisted living, we encourage you to spend time with them discovering the things that have brought meaning to their lives.
