It’s Activity Professionals Week, and we couldn’t let the week go by without showering our Activity Director, Julie, with some well-deserved love!

From planning our favorite parties to finding new ways to keep us laughing, Julie is the heart and soul of the fun here at The Parke. She doesn't just fill a calendar; she creates memories, builds friendships, and makes sure every resident feels seen and celebrated.

Thank you, Julie, for your endless energy, your creativity, and your giant heart. We are so lucky to have you!

A huge thank you to Mae from Vital Caring for bringing some winter magic to our residents!

Mae led a wonderful workshop where everyone got to design and create their very own winter-themed pens. From shimmering blues to snowy whites, these custom creations are the perfect way to brighten up a desk during the chilly months.

Activities like these are about more than just crafts—they’re about friendship, fine motor skills, and the joy of making something unique. We loved seeing everyone’s creativity shine!

We had some very special guests stop by last week! A huge thank you to the incredible youth group from Lighthouse Church in Tulsa for spending their afternoon with our residents.

This monthly tradition has quickly become a highlight for everyone here. Whether it's sharing stories, playing games, or just enjoying some good conversation, the energy and kindness these young people bring through our doors is truly infectious.

There’s nothing quite like seeing the smiles that light up the room when these two generations connect. It’s a beautiful reminder of the power of community and the joy of simple companionship.

To the Lighthouse Church youth: Thank you for your consistent heart for service and for making our residents feel so seen and loved. We’re already counting down the days until next month!

A "Hoot" of a Start to the New Year! 🦉❄️

We kicked off our first painting class of the year, and the results were absolutely stunning! Our talented residents took to the canvas to capture the quiet beauty of Snowy Owls.

It was wonderful to see everyone gathering and letting their creativity shine. From wispy feathers to those iconic bright yellow eyes, every owl had its own unique personality—just like our residents!

There is something truly magical about this time of year, but the best part isn’t the decorations or the music—it’s the people who make our community feel like home.

We asked our residents to share what makes Christmas special to them. Their stories remind us of what truly matters during this season.

✨ Many residents shared that the birth of Jesus is at the heart of their joy—a sacred time to celebrate hope and the true "Reason for the Season."

For many, Christmas is all about spending time with family. Whether it's kids coming home or long-distance calls with grandkids, being together is the greatest gift of all.

Watch the full compilation below! 👇

We wish you all a very merry Christmas from everyone at The Parke!

It’s official—The Parke is officially Santa’s favorite place to visit! Believe it or not, the Big Guy has already stopped by four times this season.

While he’s busy getting ready for the big night, he just can’t seem to stay away from our wonderful community. Our residents have had the best time catching up with him, sharing laughs, and feeling the holiday magic.

We are still in awe of the Jenks Middle School Choir! Not only are these students incredibly talented, but the beautiful music they shared brought so much joy to our residents today.

What impressed us most was their grace—both on stage and off. After a stunning performance, the students stayed to visit with our residents, proving that they are as kind-hearted as they are gifted. Thank you for a truly memorable afternoon!"
