Activity: A Visit from the Grinch with Crown Hospice 💚🎄

Story:
Smiles (and a few giggles!) filled the halls when the Grinch from Crown Hospice stopped by for a surprise visit. Residents loved interacting with him, sharing laughs, and snapping photos — even if his heart was “two sizes too small” at first 😉. The visit brought everyone together, sparking conversation, joy, and plenty of holiday cheer. Moments like these show how special connection and shared laughter are, especially during the Christmas season. 💚🎅🎄

✨🌙 You’re invited! 🌙✨
Come take a moment to admire our Night Sky–themed Memorial Tree, shining bright and filled with love. 💙⭐️
It’s on display today at the Parade of Trees in downtown Chaffee — we’d love for everyone to stop by, look up, and remember those who will always twinkle in our hearts. 🌌💫

Activity: Oran 5th & 6th Grade Christmas Visit 🎶

Story:
This week, our hearts were filled with joy as the 5th and 6th graders from Oran visited to sing Christmas songs and spend meaningful time with our residents. Beyond the music, these students learned the importance of connection, kindness, and how to thoughtfully interact with others.

Watching generations come together through smiles, conversation, and holiday cheer was truly special. These moments remind us that wellness isn’t just about activities — it’s about relationships, understanding, and shared joy. 🎄❤️
