This month’s Signature Program theme is taking us to the World Series ball park in Miami, Florida! ⚾ 🏟️

We kicked off things with some baseball inspired art that got everybody talking about their favorite baseball teams, players, or even childhood stories.

A special thank you to Laurie, with Enhabit Home Health, for joining us! πŸ’«

Nothing quite beats happy hour on a Friday except for when it’s a mobile happy hour! 🍻 🚐

A few of our Sweet Memories residents enjoyed a trip around town where they were able to pick their choice of a refreshing drink before we took a drive through some of Norfolk’s historical neighborhoods.

The drive sparked conversation of old memories and fun stories for everyone! πŸ‘

It's time to think of senior living as the next chapter, not the end of the story. πŸ“–

Senior living can lead to greater independence for your loved one, and Kristie Annis, our Executive Director Onboarding Specialist, is here to tell you why on The Hampton Roads Show: https://bit.ly/4cYq62p

During our Mardi Gras celebrations, we kicked things off with themed glass paintings, filling the room with creativity and so many smiles. 🎭 πŸ’š

Of course we couldn't celebrate without King Cake! Watching everyone eagerly search for the baby inside their slice was brought laughter, friendly competition, and sweet treats.

So grateful for moments like these that bring joy, creativity, and a little New Orleans magic to ! πŸ₯³

Recently we started hosting mystery adventures with our Resident Programs team where we hop in the bus and go where the wind takes us! πŸ‘€ 🚐

This time, we knew we were craving ice cream, but couldn't decide between sundaes, cones, or bowls. It led us to discover a hidden gem: Cool Flames Cafe!

With its wide variety of tasty treats and colorful decor, it was the perfect sweet surprise. Plus the ambience made us feel like we were back in the 60s. We can’t wait to go back again! 🀩 🍨

Nothing beats taking a trip to a farm, riding a water slide, playing with kittens, or riding a horse from the comfort of your own home! ✈️ 🐎

Our Sweet Memories residents recently took virtual trips, using our Mynd Immersive headset where they are able to experience both new and familiar places or things.

Everyone had a blast talking about where they chose to go and why! πŸ‘

We're still thinking about our Valentine's Day celebrations! πŸ’­πŸ’ž

Our residents had a blast, getting ready, posing, and sharing heartwarming moments during our photoshoot.

After everyone struck a pose, we printed the photos and put them into frames that they could gift to their valentines. πŸ“ΈπŸ₯Ή

Are you taking care of a loved one? πŸ’­

At first, it feels simple. You schedule a doctor's appointment. You pick up prescriptions. These small acts feel natural and loving... but over time, those small favors begin to multiply.

It happens slowly and quietly.

Our Sweet Memories neighborhood was filled with more than the smell of warm blueberry muffins, it was filled with joy, purpose, and beautiful memories in the making. πŸ˜‹ 🫐

Mixing, measuring and baking together, allows our residents to use their skills, spark their senses, and take pride in creating something from start to finish.

Everyone was so excited to make blueberry muffins and it was great to see so many cooks in the kitchen! ✨

We've loved cheering on the USA Curling team during the winter Olympics, so much so that we just had to create our own track. πŸ₯Œ πŸ†

Thanks to the creative mind of our Resident Program Assistant, everyone took turns hitting the ice puck down the rink, aiming to score big points without hitting it too hard and losing control. πŸ‘

Lots of laughs, friendly competition, and great teamwork all around. We’re already excited for the next competition!
