Homme Heights of Wausau

05/16/2026

Sunday Thought: We routinely pause to admire the ancient architecture of the forest or the quiet poetry of a sweeping oak tree, yet we often walk past the living masterpieces right in front of us. Nature is so vibrant that it’s easy to look out at the grounds at Homme Heights and imagine the trees clapping their hands, celebrating the beautiful fellowship gathered inside the Homme Adult Day Center.

While the forest is a stunning backdrop, it is humanity that gives it meaning. A tree can be magnificent, but it cannot love, comfort, or share a memory. The natural world is incredible, but the human spirit—with its infinite capacity to care, create, and connect—is the true masterpiece we offer to each other.

The neighborhood just got a whole lot safer for the songbirds!

We are stoked about these new raven-proof birdhouses, donated by the "Birds of Joy" project. These wild-bird havens were built with love (and some great skill) by the Rib Lake High School Shop Class and Cahoots Adult Day Service out of Waupaca, WI.

We are so grateful for the nature that surrounds our campus and the joy it brings to our residents every day.

We’re still smiling after yesterday’s 2nd Annual "Over the Hill" 5k Walk and Fun Run!

You all proved that a little weather won’t stop this community from coming together for a great cause! We started out with rain, and we ended with radiant sunshine at the finish line!

A massive, heartfelt THANK YOU to Wausau East High School for being such incredible hosts and letting us kick off the event at the school. We truly appreciate the hospitality and support!

Now, for the "talk of the track"... Many of our panting runners have mentioned they’d like a "very serious" (and very breathless) chat with the mastermind behind the multiple-hilled 5k Course. That would be Wausau East’s own Cross Country Coach, Tom Olson! Tom, you certainly know how to keep the cardio up.

Thank you to everyone who ran, walked, cheered, and donated. You make our community great!

Today, we celebrate the incredible women who live, serve, and support our community.

We see these miracles every day at Homme Heights, and we know that you don't have to be a mother to be a "mother" to someone. We honor every woman who provides the guidance, care, and love that shape the lives around them.

To our residents: Thank you for the lifetimes of miracles you’ve built for your families. To our staff: Thank you for the grace and strength you bring to our halls every day. To the mothers in our community: Thank you for your unwavering support and for the heart you pour into all you do.

Happy Mother’s Day!
