The Beacon at Mapleton

Who else remembers those special evenings where you’d turn the living room into your own little movie theater? Blankets over the windows to make it extra dark, a plate full of snacks ready to go, and everyone snuggled in waiting for the movie to start. Those were the best kind of nights!

Today, we’re bringing those same cozy memories to life as we turned our space into a movie theater for our residents to enjoy — complete with snacks, fun lights, pop, and blankets 😊 Happy Friday to all!

We planned a Snow Week to keep our spirits high as we trudge along through winter!💙

This past week was packed with fun as we celebrated our Snow Week in style. From music entertainment to a friendly snowman building competition; there was never a dull moment. ☃️

Of course, no winter celebration is complete without a hot chocolate bar. And to make the week extra special, each of our residents was crowned a snow week king or queen - because royalty deserves to be celebrated. 👑

What a fun week making the most of our Minnesota winter!
