🎉 Happy National Cotton Candy Day! 🍭

Our Memory Care residents had the sweetest trip down memory lane today! The moment the cotton candy machine started spinning, the room filled with nostalgia, laughter, and stories from their younger days—fairs, carnivals, boardwalk dates, and childhood treats.

From making their own fluffy pink creations to enjoying each bite, it was a joyful reminder of how simple moments can spark beautiful memories. 💖

Seeing their smiles, playful spirits, and even a few cotton-candy “beards” made the day extra special. Celebrating together is what makes our community feel like home.

This afternoon, some of our residents joined HealthPro their Discovery Series: “The Importance of Communication and Socialization.”
Together, we explored how meaningful conversations, daily interactions, and community engagement play a vital role in overall wellness. It’s amazing how even the smallest social moments can create big boosts in well-being.
We even wrapped up with a fun game highlighting the power of communication—using descriptive words to identify objects without naming it!
