🌸 Crafting Aloha Together! 🌸

Our talented residents recently came together for a fun and colorful paper lei craft, and the results were as beautiful as the smiles around the table! 🎨✂️🌺

With bright paper flowers, plenty of creativity, and lots of laughter, this hands-on activity brought a little piece of the islands right into our community. It’s always wonderful to see how crafts like these spark conversation, connection, and joy. 💕🌴

Mahalo to everyone who joined in to help spread the aloha spirit! 🌞

🎨 The Power of Art 🖌️

Art is more than just paint on a canvas—it's a form of expression, healing, and connection. Our art classes are a beloved part of life, offering residents the chance to explore their creativity, tell their stories, and experience the joy of making something beautiful.

Whether it's watercolors, clay, or simple sketching, these classes provide more than just an activity—they bring confidence, purpose, and a sense of accomplishment. For many, it's a moment of calm, a way to connect with others, or even revisit a passion from years past.

Watching our residents light up as they create is a reminder that imagination doesn’t age—and neither does the joy of learning something new.

🌸 Finding Joy in Every Petal 🌸

Every Friday is a special day—our residents gather together for a peaceful, joy-filled flower arranging activity, and the smiles are absolutely contagious! 😊💐

With hands gently placing blooms into vases, stories are shared, memories are sparked, and creativity flows. From soft pink roses to cheerful sunflowers, each arrangement is a unique reflection of personality and love. It’s amazing how something as simple as flowers can brighten not just a room, but a whole day! 🌼✨

These moments remind us that beauty, connection, and creativity don’t fade with age—they flourish! Thank you to Trader Joes for generously donating flowers to us each week!

🐾 Pet Therapy: Healing Hearts One Paw at a Time 🐾

There’s nothing quite like the joy a furry friend brings 🐶💕

Pet therapy continues to be one of the most beloved activities here at North Cascades. The smiles, the laughter, and the calm that fills the room when our therapy animals visit is truly heartwarming. Whether it's a gentle nuzzle, a wagging tail, or just quiet companionship, these animals offer comfort, reduce stress, and help create meaningful connections for our residents.

We're so grateful to our pet therapy volunteers for sharing their four-legged companions with us. The love they bring is felt by all. 🐕❤️🐾
