Whether it’s feathers or fur, our Memory Care residents loved spending time with some special visitors—a colorful parrot and a pair of adorable chinchillas. Everyone had fun learning about them, and those who wanted to got the chance to hold and pet them. It was a wonderful visit that brought lots of smiles.

Our Moreau residents had a great time visiting the Chapman Museum in Glens Falls. We wandered through exhibits filled with local history and so many fascinating treasures, from an Olympic volunteer uniform from the 1980 games, to a Red Wings pennant from the 1988–89 season, and even historic clothing like a leather bomber jacket and Japanese wooden shoes.

The interactive displays were a hit, especially trying to identify all the unique historic items. The Glens Falls miniature with the old railroad route and the vintage switchboard brought back lots of memories and sparked plenty of conversation.

A big thank you to the Chapman Museum for such a warm welcome and a wonderful day of exploring!

Our Saratoga residents couldn’t have asked for better weather for a recent visit to Saratoga State Park. We enjoyed watching kids splash and play in the creek, seeing people out walking their dogs, and even got to meet a friendly puppy who stopped for some pets.

We were also treated to a special sight—a hummingbird visiting one of the park’s feeders. It was a lovely afternoon to be outside, enjoy nature, and spend time together.

From Classmates to Neighbors – 74 Years Later

Ellie and Margaret graduated together from St. Mary’s in Glens Falls, Class of 1950. Over the years, they only crossed paths once, by chance, at a Kmart.

That changed when Margaret moved into our Moreau community recently. On her first day, she turned a corner and recognized Ellie coming down the hall. Now, the two old friends spend time together every day.

Margaret even brought their senior yearbook, the one she edited in 1950, the first published by the school after WWII. It’s been wonderful to see them reminiscing, reconnecting, and making new memories together here.

A group of Saratoga Memory Care residents took a trip to Waterfront Park on Saratoga Lake and had a great time soaking in the sunshine, beautiful view and refreshing breeze off the water. It was a relaxing afternoon for a walk, sit by the lake, and enjoy being outside together.

Our Saratoga Memory Care community held a backyard barbecue and picnic last week, and it was such a special day. Families gathered to enjoy good food, good company, and the sunshine—while the kids had a blast running around the courtyard and playing together.

There were smiles all around, and it was a beautiful reminder of how much joy comes from simply being together.

A special thank you to Megan, our Memory Care Activities Director, and to all of the staff who helped make the afternoon so wonderful.
