Celebrating Love Your Pet Day 🐾

We marked Love Your Pet Day by turning leftover fleece scraps into handmade dog toys for our amazing therapy dogs—and for a donation to Angels of Assisi. A little creativity, some good teamwork, and a whole lot of love went into every toy - and some silliness along the way! Here’s to giving back to the pups who give us so much joy!

Today we celebrate the heart of our community — our caregivers. ❤️

On National Caregivers Day, we honor the hands that steady, the hearts that listen, and the souls that show up day after day with compassion that cannot be taught — only lived.

You are the calm in confusion.
You are the comfort in fear.
You are the laughter in long days and the light in uncertain moments.

The impact you leave in the lives of our residents and their families is immeasurable. It’s in the small moments — a gentle touch, a warm smile, sitting a little longer, listening a little deeper. Those moments become memories. Those memories become legacy.

Caregiving is not just a job. It is a calling. And we are endlessly grateful for the love, patience, and dignity you give so freely.

To our incredible, compassionate, dedicated team — you are seen. You are valued. You are appreciated beyond words.

Happy National Caregivers Day. ❤️

Special thanks to Tim Young and Express Care Pharnacy for the amazing catered Olive Garden luncheon!!!

We were blessed to have Chaplain Clark from Affinity Care of Virginia join us for a beautiful Ash Wednesday service. His message was gentle and meaningful, and it set such a peaceful tone for the day. After the service, we lifted our voices together and sang some of our favorite hymns—simple moments like these always bring so much comfort and connection to our community.

We’re grateful for Chaplain Clark’s time, his kindness, and the sense of togetherness he helped create. A lovely start to the Lenten season.

🎨🖌️🖼️ We had such a wonderful time Monday afternoon with Ryan, the marketing and sales director of Pheasant Ridge nursing and rehabilitation! He joined us for an art class and guided everyone through painting the most beautiful sunsets. Thank you, Ryan, for sharing your talent, your patience, and your passion for art. We’re already looking forward to your next visit!

❤️ Valentine’s Day at Cardinal was full of love!
This morning we had a visit from Nancy and the sweet and talented Ripley from TheraPets of the Roanoke Valley, Inc. We spent the afternoon enjoying a Valentine social and a live music singalong from Black. Our residents were surprised with beautiful roses from AARP’s Cupid Crew, and we were treated to delicious donuts thanks to our wonderful friends Alicia and Corbin.

It was a day filled with music, treats, and heartfelt moments — the perfect way to celebrate love in our community. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so special! 💕

Every day we show up with compassion, patience, and dedication, treating each resident like family. It’s more than care… it’s connection, dignity, laughter, comfort, and love
This isn’t just what we do! It’s who we are ❤️
Thank you Stover family for the sweet treats!! 🍪
