Last week some of our residents took time to do something we all love around the holiday, to cook. Residents gathered together from independent living apartments, and other areas of the building to cook a Thanksgiving meal. Thanks to our amazing Life Enrichment staff for helping facilitate this event.

Last batch of photos from our Trick or Treat night here on the campus of The Ohio Eastern Star Home. Cold weather didn't deter us from having a HUGE crowd this year. So thankful for the residents, families, and community that participated.

Don't Let Your Stuff Get You Down! A Downsizing Seminar
Wednesday, November 5, 2025 @ 2:00PM

What’s holding you back from moving to a senior living community? Is it feeling like your stuff owns you instead of you owning your stuff? Or feeling overwhelmed by packing and moving? Maybe even getting frustrated or confused by what might be involved in selling your home?

Don’t get overwhelmed! You’re not alone! If you have questions about how to get rid of things as you downsize, including using an auction; want suggestions on packing and moving that make it feel more manageable, like where to start; could use advice for listing and selling your home, including a timeline of moving and selling, you won’t want to miss this event! Pine Hill Independent Senior Living has created a panel of local experts to help you.

This seminar is presented by Songbird Transitions: A company specializing in helping older adults downsize and move into senior living communities. (A Real Estate Agent & Antiques Appraiser will also be available for questions.) You can go from feeling overwhelmed about a move to feeling confident and prepared. Don’t miss your chance to have your questions answered!

Join us at the Pine Hill Independent Senior Living Community, on The Campus of The Ohio Eastern Star Home, 125 Eastern Star Road, Mount Vernon, Ohio 43050.
