Sometimes the most extraordinary stories begin with something simple—like choosing a seat by the fire.

When Saint Therese educator Morganna Moon met Father Bill Green at Oxbow Lake, neither imagined they’d uncover a family connection stretching back generations. What followed was a heartfelt reunion filled with laughter, gratitude, and a beautiful reminder of how compassion brings people together. 💜

Sometimes, Saint Therese becomes the setting for more than just care and community—it becomes a place where lives unexpectedly intertwine in deeply meaningful ways.

At Saint Therese of Oxbow Lake in Brooklyn Park, we’re seeing the power of EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) in action!

Our Housekeeping and Maintenance teams are fully engaged in their EOS meetings — sharing ideas, identifying opportunities, and contributing to our shared goals. It’s inspiring to see how this system is helping every team member feel included, valued, and connected to the mission of Saint Therese.

🎉 October is National Physical Therapy Month! 🎉

At Saint Therese, we believe in the life-changing benefits of physical therapy for older adults. Physical therapy is not only for recovery. It helps build strength, improve balance, and maintain independence at every stage of aging.

This year’s theme, “PT For Future Me,” reminds us that the steps we take today support a stronger, more active tomorrow. Whether you’re healing from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply wanting to stay mobile, physical therapy helps you move and live better.

At Ascend Rehabilitation, our rehab and wellness division, our therapists specialize in personalized care that helps seniors stay strong, steady, and confident every day.

Here’s to moving stronger, living fuller, and embracing every step of progress. 💪

We didn’t want the week to go by without acknowledging Infection Prevention Week!

At Saint Therese, we’re grateful to have Infection Preventionists at most of our senior communities—dedicated professionals who help keep residents, staff, and visitors safe every day. Infection Prevention Week is a reminder that small steps make a big difference—especially for older adults. Here are five easy ways to help protect yourself and those you love:

• Wash hands often with soap and water (20 seconds).
• Stay up to date on vaccines (flu, COVID-19, and ask your clinician about RSV for adults 60+).
• If you’re sick, please postpone visits.
• Clean high-touch items—phones, walkers, canes, grab bars, remotes.
• Always cover your cough with your arm (not your hand) or consider a mask.

Thank you to our residents, families, and team members for helping keep our community healthy!

The festival also featured outdoor music, a bouncy house for kids, a portrait artist, and plenty of opportunities to stroll our beautiful community spaces.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating the season together!
