If there’s anyone who knows what Christmas is all about, it’s the teams who've once again poured their heart and holiday cheer into our annual unit decorating contest! From hand-painted scenes to thoughtful details around every corner, residents and employees truly make the season come alive.

🏆 Congratulations to Cascade, this year’s winner with their Peanuts Christmas theme! Complete with Snoopy’s Ice Rink and Charlie Brown and friends adorning doors (each one uniquely resembling the resident who lives there), Cascade’s display is filled with imagination and joy.

From sharing heartfelt Christmas wishes to raising their voices in song, resident involvement was key to bringing these themes to life...a touching reminder that the most special spaces are created together 💚 All that’s left to say is… 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘧, you've outdone yourselves! 👏🎄

𝐎𝐡, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥…𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐈𝐑 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥 🎶 Last week, a group of residents hosted a holiday concert for their fellow neighbors. From the very beginning, their idea was planned, organized, and brought to life by vocalists who simply wanted to share a meaningful evening with their community.

Moments like these reflect the therapeutic role music can play in bringing people together. Joyful songs filled our Wholeness of Life Center, lifted spirits, and sparked memories — a beautiful example of how music supports emotional well-being and connection.

Thank you to everyone who came together to make this special performance possible!
