🎃🍬 The Candy Monster is still on the prowl! 🍭 He says his stash isn’t quite scary enough yet 😱 so he’s still accepting candy donations for trick-or-treating this Thursday afternoon!

If you’ve got some extra sweets hiding in your cupboard (or if you’re just scared of the Candy Monster showing up at your desk 👀), drop them off before he eats all the decorations instead! 😂👻

🍁 This afternoon our residents got creative making beautiful fall leaf bookmarks! 🍂 Each one is unique—just like them—and now they have a little piece of autumn to tuck inside their favorite books. 📖✨

There’s nothing better than a cozy afternoon filled with laughter, warm colors, and a touch of fall magic! ❤️

Today, we honor Indigenous Day, a time to acknowledge and celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Indigenous peoples. It’s a moment to reflect on the resilience and strength of these communities while recognizing the impact of colonization and the importance of preserving their traditions and languages. Let’s take this opportunity to listen, learn, and advocate for justice and equity. Together, we can work towards a brighter future that respects and uplifts Indigenous voices.

Today is World Mental Health Day, a reminder of the importance of prioritizing our mental well-being. It's a day to reflect on the challenges many face and to promote awareness and understanding. Remember that it's okay to not be okay, and seeking help is a sign of strength. Let's foster conversations, break stigma, and support one another in our mental health journeys. Together, we can create a world where everyone feels valued and understood. Take a moment today to check in with yourself and those around you. You matter!

Happy Ageism Awareness Day! Let’s celebrate the wisdom of our elders and the youthful energy of the young by getting confused about how to address either group. Should I say, “Hey, whippersnapper!” or “Back in my day…”? Either way, let’s unite in our shared love for naps and snacks—because no matter the age, everyone can agree on those!

When the entertainment has an tooth emergency and has to cancel his performance for today an impromptu root beer floats and good conversations are just as good! We wish Randy Walker a speedy recovery!

🎉 BINGO FUN with NIU Students! 🐾✨
We had a wonderful time welcoming some amazing students from Northern Illinois University who came to spend the afternoon playing bingo with our residents!
Their energy, kindness, and enthusiasm lit up the room and brought so many smiles to our residents' faces. Moments like these remind us how powerful connection and community can be across generations.
A big THANK YOU to the NIU Huskies for making our day extra special. We can’t wait to have you back again!
