🇫🇷 Today at Rutherford Heights, residents began our Passport to Paradise — a four-part virtual cruise series exploring the world together.

A wonderful afternoon of connection, conversation, and travel — no passports required! ✨

Good sleep can feel a little harder to come by during the winter months, and that’s completely normal.

Shorter days and longer nights can shift our routines, so it helps to be extra gentle with yourself. Creating a calming evening routine — even something as simple as dimming the lights or enjoying a warm drink — can make bedtime feel more restful. Staying active during the day also supports better sleep at night. We encourage small, steady habits that help your body find its natural rhythm again, even in the coldest months.

Over the holidays, Rutherford Heights truly came alive with the joy of the season. From gathering around the table to share comforting meals, to laughter echoing through the halls and meaningful moments spent with loved ones, every detail reflected the warmth of home 🎄✨

This was a season for slowing down, giving thanks, and celebrating the connections that matter most. A beautiful reminder that the best holiday traditions are the ones shared together.
