Last Friday was National Gingerbread House Day! These ladies had a blast decorating their little festive houses. We had hot chocolate brewing in the crockpot and reminisced about traditions we had growing up.

If you would like to try our delicious hot chocolate recipe, here it is:

6 cups of whole milk (OR 3 cups whole milk and 3 cups ½ & ½)
2 cans of evaporated milk (12 oz. Cans)
2 cups of heavy whipping cream
2 tsp of vanilla extract
3 cups of chocolate chips (we use semi-sweet)
And a dash of mint extract for an extra festive twist!

You can dump this all in your crock pot on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until melted and enjoy with some whipped cream on top.

Residents and staff enjoyed a fall harvest meal together. Residents discussed with our Activity Director things that they are thankful for and blessed with. We even had a special visit from Albuquerque the Turkey!

Today, we pause to honor and thank all the brave men and women who have served in our Armed Forces. Your courage, sacrifice, and dedication have protected the freedoms we cherish every day.

To our Veterans — and to the families who stand beside them — thank you. Your strength and support make our nation stronger. We are forever grateful for your service and the sacrifices you’ve made for our country.

We hosted a small luncheon and ceremony for our Veterans to acknowledge their service. Some of our ladies assisted in setting up the tables and center pieces.

Thank you to St. Croix Hospice for providing our Veterans with lapel pins, and a thank you to Snug as a Bug Child Care Center for making and delivering handmade crafts for our residents.

Residents wore blue in honor of Diabetes Awareness Month. Blue is the official color symbolizing unity and hope for those affected by diabetes. Wearing blue is an easy way to show support, raise awareness, and spark conversations about the disease. 💙

Happy Halloween from Lancaster Health Services! We had a blast during our visit from Maple Street Kids Daycare, Inc. and Preschool for trick-or-treating. Residents loved seeing the little kids all dressed up for the holiday and they even recited Halloween poems. 🎃

Residents and staff enjoyed dressing up too! We had witches, a cowgirl, a cute crab, a pirate, a hot dog with a chef, a disco lady, a black cat, and a Purple People Eater. 👨‍🍳☠🌭
