🎃👻 Community Highlight! 👻🎃
This week, our CEO and her daughter had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Halloween celebration at Spring Gardens in Mapleton, and it was truly a treat! 🍬

The event was full of nourishing fun — from festive costumes and spooky decorations to joyful conversations and heartfelt connections with the amazing residents. 🧡 It was especially meaningful to share this experience across generations, reminding us that community and compassion start at home.

These moments reinforce why we do what we do: caring for others goes beyond healthcare — it’s about celebrating life, building relationships, and spreading joy.

We are grateful to Spring Gardens for inviting us and for creating such a thoughtful and fun event for their residents. It was an honor to be part of a celebration that brought so many smiles! 🎉

🕸️ Here’s to community, family, and a little Halloween magic! ✨
