20 inches of snow tried to bury the campus today… but Kabao and Myrna showed up anyway, marching through drifts like it was just another Tuesday.

Some people call it “coming to work.” We call it snow‑angel‑level dedication — the kind of spirit that keeps our shiny city on the hill running even when it’s hiding under a blizzard.

Cheers to the staff who show up, suit up, and still find a way to laugh in the snow.

Fourteen inches of snow (and counting)… and they still showed up.

Our care staff at Stone Crest and The Garden Apartments, and our support staff in maintenance and foodservice dug out cars, stayed overnight, shared rides, and pushed through white-out roads so our residents never felt the record snowfall.

When the hill vanished behind blizzard winds, our people kept this place warm, safe, and alive.

To everyone who made the extra effort during this historic snowstorm: You are the reason our little city on the hill keeps shining. We are blessed to have you.

The best music isn't played—it’s lived.

At Stone Crest Residence, our favorite soundtrack is the daily symphony of smiles, giggles, and pure joy. Life here is more than just a place to stay; it’s a place where our residents truly thrive.

A standing ovation to our incredible Life Engagement and Personal Care Staff—the conductors of all this happiness! Because of their heart and dedication, our halls are always filled with singing, laughter, and a whole lot of love.

Good meowning, Stone Crest friends! It’s your favorite hallway supervisor, sunbeam enthusiast, and cat-treat extraordinaire, Lilly, popping in to wish everyone a cozy, gentle start to the weekend.

I’m settling in for a day of supervising humans and accepting compliments.

Hope your Saturday is filled with warm coffee, soft blankets, and at least one good sunspot.
— Lilly, Official Stone Crest Cat-in-Chief

Spring is (Almost) Here at Homme Heights!

We had a very special visitor on campus today—the first robin of the season has officially been spotted!

While we’re celebrating this classic "first sign of spring," our feathered friend was seen hanging out on the ground rather than soaring through the sky. According to old folklore, if the first robin you see stays low, it means we might have to be a little more patient for those warm temperatures to stick around.

Ground or not, we’re choosing to take it as a win! Keep your eyes peeled as you walk across the Homme Heights campus—who knows who else might be returning home for the season?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR. SEUSS!
Today we’re celebrating the joy, imagination, and colorful fun of Dr. Seuss! His stories remind us that learning should be playful, kindness matters, and it’s always okay to be a little silly.
From silly rhymes to big smiles, we’re grateful for the laughter and creativity his words continue to inspire in both our residents and staff and the generations that come after us. And remember: “Today you are you, that is truer than true!”

Who needs a professional florist when you have decades of talent right here at home?

Our care staff brought in some beautiful fresh blooms, but quickly realized we were out of our league when it came to arranging them. Luckily, we knew exactly who to call. The residents of Stone Crest stepped in to show us how it’s done—proving that "flower power" and an eye for design never go out of style.

With mixed emotions and heartfelt gratitude, we share that Arielle Noble, our Adult Day Center Coordinator, is leaving Homme to begin a new journey. Arielle’s dedication has helped shape our Center into a warm, safe, and joyful place for older adults in the community and their families seeking respite. Her leadership has inspired lasting connections. Thank you, Arielle, for being an essential part of the Homme family over the past several years.

Never a stone’s throw away is a puzzle table somewhere on the Homme Heights Campus. From Stone Crest Residence to The Garden Apartments, to Forest Park Village, there’s always a puzzle that needs putting together. Puzzles aren’t just about exercising your mind—they’re also perfect for quiet, fun conversation and a relaxing break from the day with friends and neighbors. Whether you’re piecing together a masterpiece or simply enjoying the calm, puzzles offer a unique blend of challenge and connection.
