This time of year, The Rose is usually filled with laughter, warmth, and holiday cheer. This year feels a little heavier.
Although we are trained to do what we love, we still grieve the loss of residents who became family to us. The Rose has experienced tremendous loss this year, and with it came a deep reminder of the beautiful souls we had the privilege to care for—and the families who trusted us to love them well.
Christmas looks a little different this year, but our hearts remain the same.
As staff sat together, sharing memories of those who have passed, our spirits were lifted. We were reminded that each life touched here is still deeply connected to their families and friends—and forever connected to us.
Though our hearts grieve, we are reminded that God has set us apart for a great work. This is why families bring their loved ones to The Rose—for connection that feels like family—and we remain grateful to walk in that calling.
This entire week, we invite you to stop by for Cocoa and Memories. We would truly love to see you.
With love,
The Rose
