Santa dropped by Pelican Bay…and may have taken an extended eggnog break. 😉

Our amazing staff kept the laughter flowing and the spirit bright—just the way we like to wrap up the holidays.

Cheers to our residents and team for a joyful season!

Merry Christmas from all of us at Bethany on the Lake! ✨🎄

This year reminded us that Care and Customer Service Come Together in the everyday moments we share with residents, families, and our incredible team.

A few highlights we’re grateful for:
💙 Birthday celebrations with live music—smiles, sing‑alongs, and sweet treats that turned ordinary days into little parties. 🎶
💙 Community outing to the Douglas County Fair, where residents and Adult Day Services clients chose their own adventures—animals, live bands, and time side‑by‑side with staff and volunteers. 🎡
💙 One‑on‑one connections—coffee chats, stories, and walks that made our campus feel like home.
💙 Teamwork in action—culinary, nursing, therapy, therapeutic recreation, housekeeping, and every role coming together to create comfort and joy.
💙 Seasonal celebrations—decorating, carols, and festive gatherings that brought families and neighbors closer.

To our residents, families, staff, volunteers, and community: thank you for a year filled with purpose, laughter, and care by Lake Winona. Wishing you peace and joy today and always. ❤

Music and Snowball Fun at Adult Day Services!

Our clients had a wonderful time enjoying live music by Hailey—her tunes brought warmth and smiles to a wintery day! After the music, the fun continued with a playful snowball fight using soft, fluffy snowballs. Laughter filled the room as everyone joined in the lighthearted game. What a perfect way to mix music, movement, and joy! ❄️🎶

Yesterday was a truly special day at Bethany on the Lake. Our Bethany family gathered to celebrate the baptism of one of our residents, Ron. When asked why this moment was important to him, Ron shared, ‘All of my family has been baptized, and I was hoping you could make that happen for me here at Bethany.’

A heartfelt thank you to Pastor Scott Keehn for leading this beautiful service, our dedicated CNAs for helping Ron prepare, and our therapeutic recreation director, Rae, for organizing the reception and capturing this wonderful memory. Moments like these remind us what community and care are all about.
