We would like to thank Hospice of Southern Illinois, INC. and the Freeburg American Legion for helping celebrate our Veterans today. There was the Pledge of Allegiance, flag folding, poems, and certificates handed out. There were a lot of tears being shed.

We had a great time celebrating Halloween. Residents dressed as M & M’s, Five O'clock Somewhere, Too Tired, Father Time and The Spice Girl, to name a few.
The managers dressed as sauces, and staff dressed up, including a photo below as one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish!
We all enjoyed a pumpkin contest, music, games, and an amazing cake that Bessie, our dietary assistant, made. The winning pumpkin was spaghetti and a meatball. 2nd place was “How pumpkin pie is made”.
What a fun day!

We would like to wish Mary a very happy retirement! Mary was here the day that Freeburg Care Center opened as a floor nurse, eventually moved in to the care plan position and then closed out her career here as a restorative nurse. We wish you the best and will miss you!
