We enjoyed McAlister’s soup and homemade sandwiches with the residents in Resident 600. During our time together, we talked about the progress everyone has made and shared a few success stories. Some residents also shared how much our care meant to their parents years ago, and how grateful they still are for the support we provided. It was a warm and meaningful visit for everyone.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to bring warmth, creativity, and connection to our residents and community. Crafting together not only brightens the space but also encourages residents to share stories, memories, and laughter. Getting together for Thanksgiving is a cherished tradition that strengthens family bonds and creates lasting memories. Engaging in seasonal hands-on crafts offers a wonderful opportunity for everyone to connect, share stories, and express their creativity. So play some soft Thanksgiving or autumn themed music, encourage some story telling and let’s take photos of the finished crafts and share them on a ‘Thankful Memories’ Board or online for all to enjoy.
Here are some easy Thanksgiving crafts and projects that families can enjoy together over the holidays:

Handprint Turkeys: Have grandchildren place their hands in non-toxic paint and press them onto paper, then add details like googly eyes, legs and feathers using paint, markers or crayons.

Gratitude Jars: Decorate small jars with paint, markers, or stickers. Each person can write down things they are thankful for on slips of paper and place them in the jar.
These can be read together atter Thanksgiving dinner.

Thankful Tree: Cut out a tree trunk and branches from brown construction paper and tape it to a wall. Have family members cut out colorful leaves and write what they're thankful for on each leaf. Attach the leaves to the tree with tape.

Fall Leaf Art: Collect colorful autumn leaves and use them to create collages or rubbings.
Place a leaf under a piece of paper and rub a crayon over it to create an impression.

Thanksgiving Wreaths: Use paper plates as a base for a wreath. Cut out the center and decorate the outer edge with glued on fall-themed items like leaves, acorns, and dried corn.
Or simply cut out leaves and berry shapes from colorful paper and tape or glue them on.
Crafting together turns Thanksgiving into a celebration of creativity, gratitude, and community spirit.

We would love to welcome everyone to November! This month is all about spending time with family and friends. We have some special holidays coming up, like Veteran’s Day, World Kindness day and family holidays like Thanksgiving, where we can be reminded of what we have and enjoy each other’s company. We encourage everyone to take time to appreciate what they’re thankful for and to make wonderful memories with their loved ones. Let’s celebrate this season of togetherness and all the special moments that bring us closer.

It’s Halloween Week!
Last of the decor is up and collecting candy for all the little Trick or Treating ghosts and princesses! There’s still time to have some fun and have a creative day with some arts and crafts. Here’s some fun simple crafts we can all do together!
HANDPRINT SPIDERS:
Apply black paint to your palm and four fingers leaving out the thumb. Place palm onto a piece of paper. Turn the paper 180° and print again making sure the palm overlaps. Add some googly eyes using either paint or stickers.
PAINT A PUMPKIN:
Pumpkin carving can be messy, difficult, and sometimes dangerous.
Instead, use some permanent markers or acrylic paint to make your pumpkin look like a monster, clown, or other Halloween character. The smaller “pie pumpkins” or even the mini-pumpkins will work perfectly for this craft.
Don’t have any pumpkins?
Grab some paper plates to use as your pumpkin and paint them orange, yellow, or green. Once the plates are dry, cut out shapes from additional plates or colored paper and glue them on for the eyes, nose, and mouth to create scary, happy, or wacky faces. Don’t forget to add a green stem to complete your pumpkin!
Happy Halloween!

October is Emotional Wellness Month, a time to focus on caring for your mental and emotional health. It is also worth noting that October also has World Mental Health Day, a reminder that mental well-being is essential at every stage of life. Mental health is just as important as physical health. It shapes how we think, feel, and act each day. It also influences how we manage stress, connect with others, and make decisions in challenging moments.
Here are three simple ways to support your mental well-being:
1. Make Time for Self-Care: Little moments of joy can make a big difference. Read a good book, take a walk, listen to music, practice mindfulness, or enjoy a favorite hobby. Activities that bring relaxation and fulfillment can boost your mood and restore balance.
2. Stay Connected: Strong social connections are essential for emotional health. Spend time with family and friends, share meaningful conversations, and seek out community. Feeling connected helps ease loneliness and provides encouragement during difficult times.
3. Support Your Body to Support Your Mind: Your physical and mental health go hand in hand. Aim for regular exercise, a balanced diet, and plenty of rest. Moving your body releases feel-good endorphins, healthy foods fuel your brain, and good sleep keeps emotions steady.
Remember that mental health improvement is an ongoing process. This October, take time to nurture your emotional wellness and encourage loved ones to do the same. If challenges ever feel overwhelming, reach out to a trusted professional for guidance and support.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to focus on education, early detection, and support.
When found early, breast cancer can often be treated successfully.
Be mindtul of changes such as new lumps, swelling, dimpling, redness, ni**le discharge, or pain.
While changes may not indicate cancer, it is strongly recommended that you check with your physician.
Regular self-exams, clinical exams, and mammograms are important:
• Women 40-49 should talk with their physician about when to begin screening.
• Women 50-74 at average risk should have a mammogram
every two years.
• Mammogram Day, the third Friday in October, is a reminder to schedule your screening.
Prevention steps include staying active, keeping a healthy weight, limiting alcohol, not smoking, and keeping up with routine check-ups.
Show your support this month by wearing pink. Wear Pink Day is October 25 this year and many people take part in “Wear Pink Wednesdays.” It is a simple way to honor survivors, remember loved ones, and spread awareness.
