Thank you to everyone who came out for our holiday dinner last night! We had a great turnout, wonderful food, and live music. I didn’t get many photos, but the evening was full of joy and holiday spirit.
We appreciate everyone who helped make it possible!

Last week at Dogwood Crossing, we had a winter glamour shot session! Our residents got all dressed up and had their moment in the spotlight. Here are some of the beautiful pictures we captured—look at those smiles!

Today we stepped back in time with our 1950s diner–themed birthday party, and our residents had a blast! We enjoyed root beer floats, cupcakes, and music. Gene stole the show when he broke out singing “Dream Lover.” and we just had to share it with you!

Christmas crafting is in full swing at Willows Grove!
Today our residents made beautiful handmade ornaments using canning rings, old Christmas cards, and twine. Each one is unique and full of holiday cheer! After finishing their creations, they proudly hung them on our Christmas tree — making it extra special this year.

Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸

Today, our residents gathered for a special Red, White & Blue Social to celebrate and honor our nation’s heroes. We enjoyed patriotic snacks in red, white, and blue, we had Veterans trivia, learned fun “Did You Know?” facts, and even worked on a Veterans-themed word search together. It was a beautiful day of gratitude and togetherness as we reflected on the courage and sacrifice of those who have served our country.
To all veterans — we see you, we honor you, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Yesterday we loaded up the hot chocolate and went on a little adventure to Burkes Garden! The Fall colors were absolutely breathtaking, and everyone enjoyed the peaceful ride through the mountains.

While our Activities Director was on vacation last week, we had a special guest leading our Cooking Corner! A big thank-you to Cambria Hayden with Gentiva Hospice for stepping in and spending time with our residents — they absolutely loved it! We truly appreciate Gentiva Hospice for helping us out and making the day extra special for everyone.

It’s been a slimy good week at Dogwood Crossing! We were thrilled to welcome the Tazewell second graders to our community all week long to make their very own slime! After the fun (and a little mess), our residents passed out treats and drinks to the kids. From Monday through Friday, over 100 smiling faces came through our doors — filling our halls with laughter, creativity, and joy. A huge thank-you to the teachers and students for spending time with us — our residents loved every minute of it! A special thank you to MSA home health and Odyssey therapy team for helping us out this week!
