November is Arts & Health Month, and our members are celebrating by discovering new creative skills!

Research shows that making art can reduce stress, boost your mood, sharpen cognition, and even support healing. A group of our members has been taking classes at the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, and loving every moment of learning and growth.

Check out these incredible ceramics they created!

What an amazing day at the Chili & Willie Cook-Off! 🌶️🔥

It was a clean sweep for the Clarksville team, taking home 1st place for both chili and booth decoration! 🏆 Plus, a Clarksville member even won the boot contest with her incredible homemade boots!

But honestly, everyone was a winner — the food was delicious, the decorations were fantastic, and the games, prizes, and fun made it a perfect fall day. A big shoutout to Russellville for snagging 2nd place for their table and Hope House for 2nd place chili! 🙌

Every branch did a wonderful job bringing the carnival theme to life. We all left with full tummies and happy hearts. 💚

Birch Tree Communities is thrilled to announce that Jessica Connerly, MSN, RN, CNL, SCRN, has been appointed as our new Registered Nurse Trainer!

Jessica joined our Clarksville team in August 2024 and has quickly become an incredible asset. Originally from Arlington, Texas, she moved to Clarksville with her family in 2023 to be closer to loved ones. Jessica holds a Master of Nursing from Texas Christian University and is nationally certified as both a Clinical Nurse Leader and Stroke Certified Registered Nurse.

Beyond her extensive nursing experience, Jessica is also a Certified Clinical Aromatherapy Practitioner, leading innovative projects using aromatherapy to support post-stroke recovery and improve quality of life for dementia patients. Her nursing background includes work in neurology, ICU, labor and delivery, hospice care, and stroke program management.

Outside of work, Jessica loves spending time with her husband, two daughters, three dogs, and a cat. She’s an avid reader (already 70 books into her 100-book goal this year!) and enjoys hiking, yoga, and exploring the outdoors.

“Education is truly a passion of mine,” Jessica shared. “I’m excited to bring new training experiences to our staff and help ensure we provide the safest care possible for our members.”

In her new role, Jessica will lead CPR and health-related training across all Birch Tree branches, including first aid, medication safety, overdose response, and infection prevention.

Please join us in congratulating Jessica Connerly on this exciting new chapter! We’re proud to have her leading the way in advancing staff education and member care at Birch Tree Communities.

Spooky season may be over, but the fun never stops at Birch Tree Communities! Our Halloween celebrations were packed with goodies, games, giving, and plenty of laughter. No tricks, just treats for our amazing members!

A special shoutout to Evergreen members who kept the spirit of giving alive by surprising a local nursing home with goody bags. Halloween was the perfect kickoff to the holiday season, and we can’t wait for more moments of joy ahead! 💚

What’s better than fresh air, friendly competition, and a little fun in the sun?!

Our Clinton branch recently hosted a member softball tournament, complete with great games, teamwork, and a cookout to top it off!
We had record participation this year and loved seeing everyone cheering, playing hard, and lifting each other up. Congrats to our MVP and to the Conway branch for taking home the trophy! 🏆

Win or lose, it was truly a home run for everyone! 💚
