“One song changed everything.” 🎵

When Ruth moved into her Cassia community, she kept mostly to herself — until a chaplain visited with his guitar. That moment opened her heart, leading her to rediscover purpose, friendship and faith.

Today, Ruth shares God’s love through a birthday card ministry, welcoming new residents and serving with joy.

Watch her story and see how spiritual life helps residents find connection and meaning every day. 💛

We had a great time last night at our annual Trick-or-Treat. A big thank you to all our residents who handed out candy, to the staff who dressed up, and to the children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren who came through to show off their costumes and join in the fun!

As part of our Chaplain Appreciation Month series, we’re honored to highlight Pastor Michael Evans! 🙏

After surviving both brain and heart surgeries, Pastor Evans found a renewed calling to serve others through faith, humor and heartfelt ministry. From leading worship and Bible study to sharing his “boom box ministry” and daily dad jokes, he brings light and encouragement to residents and staff alike.

💜 Chaplain Appreciation Month 💜
At Cassia, our chaplains do more than provide spiritual care—they build community, foster connection, and ensure that no one journeys alone.

In this moving video, Julie Ryan, our VP of Spiritual Life, shares the story of Don—a resident who came to us with no family but became part of something bigger: a loving, faith-filled community.

Through meaningful connection and Christ’s love, our chaplains help residents live fully, right up to their final days. Don’s story is one of many—and we’re so grateful for the chaplains who make these moments possible.
