What are the odds?! ⚾️😄 Highland Ridge headed to the Kernels game today and by pure coincidence ended up sitting right next to the Williamsburg Junior High group! The stadium was full of hometown spirit, laughs, cheering, and a whole lot of baseball fun. Safe to say today was a grand slam of a day! ❤️🌽

This week at Highland Ridge, we had the joy of celebrating our incredible volunteers during Volunteer Appreciation Week. Each one brings light, love, and meaningful connection to our residents in ways that truly matter.

Scripture reminds us, “Serve one another humbly in love” (Galatians 5:13). Through every visit and every act of kindness, our volunteers are shining God’s love and bringing Him glory.

We are so grateful for the hearts that choose to serve. 💛

Fresh peeps just dropped 🐣💛

We’re egg-stra excited to share some of our newest (and fluffiest) arrivals! Thanks to our amazing partnership with the Iowa County Farm Bureau, these little chicks have officially hatched—and they’ve already stolen a few hearts around here.

Nothing beats the smiles on our residents’ faces while holding these tiny bundles of joy. Who knew something so small could bring so much happiness?

Warning: excessive “aww”s ahead 🐥✨

The magic didn’t end after prom—it just moved to Highland Ridge 💃🕺
Thanks to the incredible FCCLA students, our community was filled with the sounds of a live jazz band, a dance floor full of joy, beautiful decorations, and smiles that lit up the room. Residents and students came together on Sunday to share laughter, stories, and a night that truly bridged generations.
From twirls on the dance floor to heartfelt moments in between, this wasn’t just a prom—it was a celebration of connection, kindness, and pure happiness.
We’re so grateful to everyone who made this unforgettable evening possible 💙✨

One of the most special things about Highland Ridge is our rural community connections and our homegrown Iowa agriculture! 🧑‍🌾

Every year, we get the opportunity to be apart of the hatching program with Iowa County Farm Bureau. Today, we got to take our eggs and candle them. This is a process where we take our eggs and put it over a light to see if we can see the chicks inside of the egg! 🥚 🐣

One of our residents commented: “I will be 88 years old on Sunday and I have never see this done. What an experience!”

It just goes to show that no matter the age, there is always more learning to do! Stay tuned for when our little baby chicks start to hatch! 🐥💛

Did you know that axolotls can naturally glow in the dark and can also regenerate like starfish? 💡 ⭐️

Toadally Awesome Pets came to Highland Ridge today and taught us so many hoppin facts about toads, frogs, and amphibians in general!

We were thrilled to meet Curt the Colorado River Frog that people used to find in the river and LICK 👅, disclaimer: no licking was done today 😆

Sometimes it’s fun to leap out of your comfort zone and pet a new friend! We are so thankful we had that opportunity to do that today 🐸

At Highland Ridge, we put our own delicious twist on the tournament this year with an Oreo March Madness Bracket 🍪🔥
