Celebrating 102 years of life is no small milestone, and today we had the honor of celebrating Rosabelle’s incredible birthday!

We were joined by Senator Neil Anderson, and Mayor Gary Moore, who presented a special proclamation from the City of Kewanee in Rosabelle’s honor. A heartfelt thank-you to Hospice Compassus for providing the beautiful cake and to VITAS Hospice for making fresh, delicious cotton candy.

Our residents, staff, and guests filled the room with joy, laughter, and appreciation for this remarkable woman. The entire facility had a wonderful time celebrating such a special day.

Happy 102nd Birthday, Rosabelle! What a blessing it is to celebrate you.

Arcadia Care Kewanee was full of holiday magic today with our festive hot cocoa bar. Residents and families enjoyed building the perfect cup topped with marshmallows, candy canes, chocolate treats, and delicious holiday cookies.

Serving Our Community This Christmas Season

Brandie Swanson from Aledo and Julie Johnson had the pleasure of sorting food for our local FISH Food Pantry, an organization that provides much-needed support to families in our communities. We are both incredibly grateful to assist such a wonderful program.

Food insecurity impacts so many, especially during this time of year. It truly warms the heart to see so many people volunteering their time to help others.

This is the true spirit of Christmas.

Kewanee’s Annual Holiday Parade!

What an incredible turnout yesterday for Kewanee’s Annual Holiday Parade, even on such a very cold day! Our teams from Avenues of Royal Oaks, Arcadia Care of Kewanee, The Gardens, and Villas of Kewanee came together to celebrate the season in true festive spirit.

Arcadia brought along Frosty the Snowman and served up some delicious hot chocolate to keep everyone warm!

The smiles, laughter, and teamwork made it a celebration to remember.

A huge thank-you to all the teams who participated and helped capture these wonderful moments.

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!
