Our November Wellness Center Challenge is all about slowing down and noticing the good through gratitude journaling. Gratitude is a powerful, healing practice—it shifts our focus from what’s missing to what’s meaningful, helping us appreciate and celebrate the abundance already in our lives. 💜
Research backs it up, too: A 2011 study in the Journal of Applied Psychology found that people who regularly practiced gratitude were able to quiet their minds and enjoy better sleep than those who didn’t. Let’s lean into thankfulness this month and see how it transforms our wellbeing! Journal one thing you’re grateful for each day this week. ✍🏼

An afternoon of elegance, laughter, and reflection with Norma’s Traveling Tea Party. ☕️ Residents shared stories from their lives, reminiscing about the moments that shaped who they are today. Surrounded by conversation, hors d'oeuvres, and plenty of tea, it was a gathering that was as inspiring as it was joyful. A heartfelt thank you to Norma, Tribulation & Trust Ministries, and everyone who helped make this special gathering possible! 💐

With deep gratitude, the UP Home gathered for a Veterans Day Service to honor the courageous men and women who have served our nation. We extend sincere thanks to Spiritual Director, Andrew, and the American Legion Post #29 for leading this touching tribute. To our UP Home veterans and all who have defended our freedom — your courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

As we enter the season of giving, we’re reflecting on all the generosity and support shared from 2024 throughout 2025. 💛 This year, our donors helped bring so much joy to our community — with projects such as updating the Town Center, where countless meals and memories are shared, to adding a donated piano that now fills our Parlor with music all year long. And soon, we’ll begin our Front Porch Project to enhance the outdoor gathering space at our Health Center.
Because of donors, our residents continue to experience moments of friendship, creativity, and connection. Thank you for believing in our mission and helping our community thrive! ✨

It’s Friendsgiving time! 🧡 Residents and employees came together for a potluck-style lunch, sharing their favorite dishes and desserts—there were so many delicious options! From savory sides to sweet treats, every bite was made with love and enjoyed in great company. A big thank you to everyone who contributed, whether by cooking, baking, or simply joining the fun. The room was filled with laughter, conversation, and gratitude. There’s truly no better way to celebrate the season than with good food and even better friends! 🍂

October may be over, but we can’t let the month end without celebrating our incredible Physical Therapists and Physical Therapy Assistants! 💪🏼Although not all are pictured, we want to recognize Tom, Bailey, and Rachel for the amazing work they do with our residents and community clients — helping them build strength, balance, and mobility every day.
We’re also grateful for the continued education they share on campus through sessions and workshops that benefit our whole team. A big thank you to our entire Blue Stone crew, and especially our outstanding PT team! 💙
