🍂👟 Walktober Wrap-Up at Oak Trace! 👟🍂

Throughout October, our residents and team members stepped up for a month filled with movement, motivation, and a little friendly competition! From morning strolls around campus to afternoon walks with friends, everyone made every step count in the Oak Trace Walktober Challenge.

A big congratulations to our top walker, who earned a well-deserved full PTO day, and our top resident walker who won a spa day! 🎉 Every participant showed incredible determination, logging miles, sharing smiles, and enjoying the many benefits of staying active, from better mood and sleep to overall wellness.

Thank you to everyone who joined in and made this challenge such a success. Here’s to keeping the momentum going and staying active all year long! 💪
