Who let the dogs out?
We weren't certain but it took Maintenance Director Jeff Dempsey no time to fearlessly cozy up with his incredibly well behaved ostrich to Big Weenie.

Where's Waldo? She's everywhere!!
Social Services Director Mary Monroe brought the fun this season with a festive party for staff and a "traveling party" for patients! She even incorporated activities by having everyone make paper mache pumpkins for decorations. The result? Plenty of laughter, creativity, and maybe even a striking resemblance to Big Weenie making an appearance!

🌸🎨 Sip, Savor & Stroke β€” An Afternoon of Artful Joy at Heritage Oaks 🎨🌸

There’s something magical about gathering around a table with friends, a paintbrush in hand and a cool drink by your side. This week, our residents joined a small, guided Sip & Paint session β€” complete with refreshing beverages and vibrant acrylic paints β€” and the results were as beautiful as the laughter that filled the room.

More than just a creative pastime, painting offers powerful therapeutic benefits. Each brushstroke encourages fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. The focus and rhythm of painting help reduce stress and calm the nervous system. Creative expression can even boost mood, support memory, and nurture emotional well-being β€” especially in a warm, social setting.

Our residents explored color, shared stories, and discovered new artistic talents while enjoying time with one another in a relaxed, joy-filled atmosphere. The art may dry on paper, but the smiles and sense of accomplishment last long after the brushes are set down.

✨ Here at Heritage Oaks, we believe in nurturing the mind, body, and soul β€” and days like this remind us that healing can be colorful, creative, and shared with friends. πŸ’›

πŸ‚βœ¨ Happy Friday from Scarecrow Row! βœ¨πŸ‚

There’s a special kind of autumn magic happening at Heritage Oaks β€” our long, winding cul-de-sac driveway has transformed into Scarecrow Row! πŸŒ»πŸŽƒπŸ‘©β€πŸŒΎ

Every scarecrow along the path was dreamed up and brought to life by our creative departments, residents, and community partners. Each one tells its own little fall story β€” from classic straw-hatted charm to whimsical, unexpected characters that will make you smile.

Residents and neighbors alike are welcome to stroll or roll down the lane to enjoy the display, soak in the crisp fall air, and admire all the imagination that went into each creation. 🍁✨

If you’re looking for a cheerful autumn outing this weekend, come take a peek at the artistry and heart our community poured into Scarecrow Row β€” it’s the perfect way to kick off October with a grin.

πŸ‚πŸ’› Happy Friday, friends β€” may your day be as bright and joyful as our row of scarecrows!
