Right after I made that last post, I got this awesome video of the birds enjoying their treats! We love to see it 😊💗

We wanted to show our birdie friends some love, so we made these bird seed treats to hang outside! We hope they enjoy! 🐥❣️

We enjoyed getting up close and personal with some of the furry creatures you can find in your own backyard! We got to touch real fur pelts and listen to many unique sounds while learning facts about these amazing animals. Thank you Carrie from Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks !

Please excuse our mess over the next couple weeks while we replace our flooring in the Assisted Living portion of the building. This will be happening in the evenings after dinner and may impact your normal route through the building. We are so excited for this to be completed!

We’re warm by the fire tonight after a snowy day today! We are so thankful for our staff that packed their bags and hunkered down for the weekend to ensure our residents are taken care of. Please use extreme caution if you plan to visit in the next few days as the parking lot is still very treacherous. Our family here is enjoying the snow- as long as th fireplace is going!
