This Thanksgiving, we had the pleasure of celebrating a heartfelt gathering with our residents, their families, and our dedicated staff. The atmosphere was filled with warmth and joy as we came together to share gratitude and create lasting memories.

To enhance the festivities, we were delighted to feature live music entertainment by a talented cello player whose enchanting melodies added a special touch to the occasion. The delightful sounds of the cello resonated throughout the room, inspiring smiles and even some impromptu dancing among our guests.

Today we spent the afternoon filling the halls with the sweetest scents of the season as our residents came together to bake homemade autumn sugar cookies. Using one of their very own cherished recipes—we mixed, rolled, cut, and sprinkled our way into a tray full of cozy fall goodness.
From leaf-shaped cookie cutters to cinnamon-kissed sugar, everyone had a chance to share a story, a smile, and a little baking magic. The best part? Enjoying warm cookies straight from the oven with a cup of tea and great company.
Here’s to traditions, togetherness, and treats that taste like home. 🍂❤️
