Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Aase Haugen friends and family! Today went off without a hitch and everyone had such a wonderful time spending the afternoon with loved ones. ❤️ Good food, love and laughter is all we could ever ask for. 😁
We would also like to extend a special thank you to all of our staff that came in today and volunteered their time to help with set up, serving, and clean up today! We appreciate everything you do here at Aase Haugen.

This October we had a pumpkin carving contest. Our residents had so much fun participating and coming up with ideas for their pumpkins! Thank you to our local Farm bureau for their generous donation of pumpkins and to Collin’s Aerospace for volunteering their time to come help us set up and carve! We appreciate everything you do😁

Mission accomplished!!!! Thank you!!!

We are so grateful for the generous donations of coats, hats, and mittens for our residents as we prepare for the big move to our new facility! Your kindness warms more than just hands—it warms hearts. ❤️ Thank you for supporting our seniors and helping us make this transition special. We truly feel blessed!

As Aase Haugen prepares to relocate residents to the new nursing home on Wednesday, December 17th, we’ve discovered a need for more warm clothing to keep everyone comfortable during the move. We are looking for gently used:
🧣 20 warm hats
🧤 20 pairs of mittens
🧥 10 generously sized warm jackets
If you have items to donate, we would be incredibly grateful.
Please drop them off at Aase Haugen Nursing Home, 4 Ohio Street in Decorah, Monday–Friday between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
Thank you in advance for your kindness and support!

What a beautiful day for a visit from this gorgeous horse named Rip! 🐴✨
He stopped by with his owner, Rhonda, to visit Barb this afternoon on this sunshine-filled November day. Aase Haugen CNA, Queen, even got a chance to get to know Rip :)
Rip actually boards at Barb’s farm. Barb is an avid horse lover — she says she rode horses until she was 75 years young! One of her favorite memories is riding with the local Saddle Club each Memorial Day, when they would pass by Aase Haugen so residents could enjoy the horses.
Thank you, Rhonda and Rip, for sharing this super day — and this super horse — with us! 🌞💛

At Aase Haugen, we are honored to call many Veterans our residents—men and women who have served bravely in every branch of our nation’s military. As a VA-contracted community nursing home, we are privileged to provide care and comfort to these heroes who once dedicated their lives to serving others. In honor of Veterans Day, we reached out to all our resident Veterans to offer them the opportunity to share a bit about their service. Some chose to keep their memories private, and we deeply respect that choice. From World War II to Vietnam to Desert Storm, their service spans generations—but their commitment to our country unites them all. Whether their stories are spoken or held quietly in their hearts, we honor each one of them with gratitude and pride. Thank you for your service.❤️🤍💙

We’re so proud of our amazing staff, residents and families who participated in this year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s — and even prouder to share that Aase Haugen was the leading team in our area, raising $3,235 for this important cause!
Alzheimer’s disease affects nearly 7 million people across the United States, and that number continues to grow. At Aase Haugen, we are honored to provide specialized care and support as the only licensed CCDI (Chronic Confusion and Dementing Illness) unit in our area, serving those with intermediate and advanced dementia, including Alzheimer’s.
Thank you to everyone who walked, donated, and cheered us on. Together, we’re helping make a difference in the fight to end Alzheimer’s. 💜
