Who remembers the parachute in gym class during elementary school? We do!
One of our residents suggested this as an activity, so we did it. What fun! Great exercise, so many smiles along with laughter. This sure warmed us up on a frigid day!

Residents enjoyed having a pizza party last Friday, before the winter storm hit. The sun was shining in, good music was streaming, and you almost forgot about the bitter cold! We enjoy planning activities that help to beat the winter blues. ❄🍕

We are currently under a winter storm warning so our residents have submitted their predictions of snow accumulation totals. I must say we are right on track with the meteorologists that you have been hearing all throughout the week. According to the residents at Austin Trace we are predicting 0-5 feet of snow!
Stay safe and warm this weekend!❄️☃️🌬️

Santa came for a visit! We appreciate Santa making time to stop by and deliver gifts. Not only does he deliver gifts, but brings Holiday cheer and smiles to our residents! 🎅🎄

We celebrated Elf day! Residents enjoyed an Elf Yourself craft which we then hid for a scavenger hunt. We also sang Christmas carols "loud for all to hear!"

On 12/11/2025, we invited out families to have dinner with their loved ones. We were able to serve over 100 residents and families who were able to spend some quality time together. There were many stories, laughs and smiles throughout the evening. We wanted to recognize all of our team members in making this happen especially the ones not pictures and working hard behind the scenes! We are grateful for everyone who attended and assisted and look forward to making this an even better event next year!🍽👪🙂

We celebrated Grinch day at Austin Trace! While residents and staff enjoyed Grinch punch and popcorn, guess who showed up? The Grinch himself! He tried to steal bingo chips, presents, and drinks, but his heart grew from all the hugs he received from our residents. 💗🤗🍿

On 12/4/2025, a few of our wonderful staff (from left to right) Jacklyn, Lisa, Tammy, Ryan and Austin were able to gather a group of some of our ventilator residents to take them to the Light up Middletown Christmas Lights. The event was brought up when Lisa, our respiratory therapist, approached management and mentioned that needed to do something fun with our ventilator residents. Often times these residents don't get to participate in many outings due to their conditions, and she felt it would be a great thing to boost morale. We then came up with the idea to attend the annual Light up Middletown event. Both residents and staff had a fantastic time and made another great memory with Austin Trace!🎄🦌⛄

A big THANK YOU to a resident family member for providing a Christmas floral craft for our residents! Our residents really enjoyed putting together a wonderful arrangement to either gift or use as decor in their room. 🎄🎁⛄
