“Warm kitty, soft kitty, little ball of fur. Sleepy kitty, happy kitty, purr purr purr” 😁 It’s no secret that we love dogs here at STLC, but we also have a few who think that these four legged friends are the cat’s meow 😸 We are equal opportunity animal lovers (except for reptiles).

We are feeling festive around here at STLC. We’ve been talking turkey for the last week about all things THANKSGIVING. We even hung up some art (on loan) from Stanley Middle School to brighten up our days. Special thanks to Anne Abernathy for the beautiful banners. They absolutely make for great conversation,

What a great night for sampling some of the best chili at the Gaston County Senior Center for the 2025 Nursing Facility Chili Cook-Off. STLC’s very own Trish, Keysha, and Crystal put a lot of hard work into their “Chopper Chili” and these biker babes brought home 3rd place!! 🏆🌶️😀

Tis the season to do more for others! Our community service project this month is collecting non-perishable food items and paper products for those in need in OUR area. We are collecting until November 21st. Drop off items if you’d like to help out. Some of our resident volunteers and staff assisted with the first drop-off to The King’s Daughters Ministry here in town. KDM is a residential,educational, and counseling ministry for hurting women and their children. We enjoyed stopping by for a pumpkin spice latte, snack and fellowship. For more info check out how you can serve here:www.KDMonline.org

You may recognize this face. Donna Stuart, a retired Activity Professional from STLC, is making the most of her retirement by trying out an idea she calls Activities à la cart. Today she brought in an upcycled 3-D train model that was donated to us a few years ago from a family member. She reworked it and chugged around the building visiting and reminscing with our folks. Her program included short clips of steam engine trains from her phone, the ability to “flip the switch” to make the train go around and even a train whistle could be heard down the hallway. It was a fantastic way to provide sensory stimulation and positive interaction among our residents. She has other programs available if you are interested. Contact Jen in Activities.

🍁 🍂 The leaves are falling and Boone was calling 🍂🍁

Our journey today took us up towards the Blue Ridge mountains in search of Fall, good food, and an organization with purpose. Our folks learned all about Samaritan’s Purse, their mission and different ways they are the hands and feet of Jesus in the world.
