Sheboygan Senior Community

12/16/2025

This holiday season, Sheboygan Senior Community turned a classic tradition into something truly special. For our Christmas Cookie Contest, staff members baked our residents’ favorite cookies, many using cherished family recipes passed down through generations. Along the way, stories were shared, tears were shed, and memories came flooding back of childhood kitchens, handwritten recipe cards, and holidays spent with loved ones.

Some residents even reached out to family members to find their mother’s original recipes, while others guided staff through ingredient lists remembered by heart. We have watched faces light up as familiar flavors brought comfort, joy, and a deep sense of home.

When our Physical Therapy Director baked alongside resident Delores, she shared that her special cookie recipe came from a childhood family friend more than 70 years ago.

Even better, many residents rolled up their sleeves and baked right alongside staff here at SSC, flour on their cheeks and smiles all around, creating new memories in the place they now call home.

Life Enrichment Manager Sally Bork shared,
"Watching our residents reconnect with these recipes and memories has been incredibly emotional. These cookies are about so much more than baking. They are about family, tradition, and reminding our residents that their stories matter."

“I am so happy. Thank you.” – Jerry, current resident

We can’t wait to celebrate together at our Christmas Cookie Contest tomorrow, December 17 at 2 pm. This has been a beautiful reminder that sometimes the sweetest moments are made by simply coming together. 💙

At SSC, we are dedicated to providing care, compassion, and comfort within our walls. But our commitment cannot be contained, it extends wherever there is a need.

We’re proud to strengthen our partnership with the Sheboygan County Warming Center by helping care for the people they serve in a very tangible way. Twice a week, our wonderful team member Sharon Boedecker washes all of the Center’s blankets and linens right here in our facility.

This simple act makes a meaningful difference, ensuring warmth, cleanliness, and comfort for those who rely on the Warming Center.

Compassion is something we share, and we’re honored to support the incredible everyday good happening throughout our community, and thank you for allowing us to be a part of it.

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, and we hope you will help us Support the Hearts of SSC.💙

Our caregivers are the steady hands guiding a rehab resident as they take their first steps after surgery. They are the soft voices reading to someone who can no longer read on their own. They are the familiar faces who help families breathe a little easier.

Your gift to the Staff Appreciation Fund lifts up the people who make these moments possible.

Every day at SSC, small moments of kindness turn into something extraordinary.

A team member sitting beside a resident who misses home, a caregiver brushing someone’s hair before breakfast, a quiet walk down the hallway for someone who is feeling anxious. These moments happen because our staff show up with heart.

This , we invite you to Give Back to Those Who Give Every Day by supporting our Staff Appreciation Fund.

Your gift reminds our team that their compassion matters.
