We were so grateful to welcome a wonderful group of carolers recently who shared classic songs and warm voices with our residents. You could see the joy on every face as familiar tunes brought back sweet memories and sparked lots of singing along. Moments like these remind us how powerful music and community can be—thank you to our carolers for making the day so special! 🎄🎶

Our community was filled with the warm smell of love as families baked and brought in our residents’ favorite cookie recipes for judging. Each cookie came with a story. Santa himself even stopped by to judge. The winner was our awesome housekeeper, Sheryl! Her strawberry Jello cookies will be our signature cookies for 2026.

Thank you to our amazing families and residents for making this event so special. We can’t wait to make this a sweet new tradition! 🍪🎅🏻

The holidays always seem to come and go so quickly. One minute we’re sitting down to a Thanksgiving dinner and the next thing we know, we’re toasting the New Year. It often seems like more time is spent hustling back and forth and preparing for get-togethers than spending quality time connecting...

The holidays are full of joy, family, friends, celebrations ... and not-the-healthiest food. For people living with dementia, what’s on the plate matters even more. Too much sugar, salt, or unhealthy fats can affect cognition, energy, and mood. Combined with holiday hustle, this can lead to confusion, lethargy, and anxiety.

Our residents had an absolutely fin-tastic time at the aquarium today! 🐠💙 From watching the colorful fish glide by to getting up close with some friendly sea creatures, the smiles were as bright as the coral reefs!
