February is National Cancer Prevention Month.

Reduce your risk by embracing healthy living habits: avoid to***co, get active, eat a balanced diet, and know your family history.

Most importantly, get those screenings! Don't put off those mammograms, colonoscopies, annual physicals and bloodwork.

What steps are you taking to reduce your risk for cancer?

Victorian Village recently hosted a delightful Girl Scout Cookies and Wine Pairing event, graciously organized by the Women's Club of Homer Glen. We are incredibly grateful for the generous donations and the support of our wonderful Mayor, who joined us for the entire event, helping to foster a sense of community as we shared delicious treats from resident to resident.

The Women of Homer Glen have continually blessed us with their spirit of fellowship and connection, and this event was no exception. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of these remarkable women for the joy and service they brought to our community. May your hearts be warmed this season by the love reflected in all that you do!

We're embracing the joy of winter at Victorian Village in Memory Care! Our residents had a fantastic time participating in a snowball toss, blending fun with exercise. It was a delightful mix of friendly competition and teamwork as we tossed the soft snowballs. We’ll keep the warmth alive within our community this season and look forward to enjoying every moment together!

This month's card-making activity with our cherished card ladies, Linda and Ellen, was an absolute delight! We had a fantastic time creating unique and creative cards for our loved ones. In addition to this, we celebrated our dear Grand Victorian resident, Treesa, who will be turning 100 next Wednesday. To make the occasion even more special, Linda and Ellen brought delicious cupcakes to share! We enjoyed plenty of laughter and camaraderie while assembling our thoughtfully designed cards. The joy and enthusiasm these ladies bring each month is truly appreciated, and their dedication touches our hearts. Thank you for your generous spirit and love here at Victorian Village!

At Victorian Village, friends frequently gather to engage in card games, embracing a spirited sense of competition, as there is often a winner among them. Learning a new game together fosters camaraderie and strengthens our bonds, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, especially during the chilly winter days. So, stay cozy and enjoy a game!

At Victorian Village, our staff and residents hold a special place in our hearts. This month, as we celebrate Valentine's Day, our dedicated activity team members, Megan and Sandi, collaborated with our memory care residents to create a delightful display of LOVEBUGS adorned with hearts, each featuring the name of one of our residents. The joy and engagement during this brain game, where residents searched for their names among the hearts, was truly remarkable!

🌟 Groundhog Day was a delightful event at Victorian Village! 🎉 We kicked off the month of February with an imaginative edible craft session that both the residents of Victorian Inn assisted living and memory care thoroughly enjoyed! 🍬✨

During the festivities, we explored the intriguing question of whether the groundhog that saw his shadow in Pennsylvania and New York could influence Chicago's weather. 🌤️🐾 Interestingly, the groundhog in the greater Chicago area did NOT see its shadow!

We had a wonderful time creating and enjoying each other's company, marking a joyful start to the month! 💖🥳

It’s official! 🦫 Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his burrow, took a look around… and saw his shadow! That means we’re in for six more weeks of winter! ❄️🌨️

Love it or hate it, Phil has spoken! Our residents will be bundling up, enjoying the snow, and making the most of the winter season with great entertainment, fun outings, and much more!
