🎨🍁 When Life Enrichment gets artsy, fall gets fabulous! We rounded up the most seasoned artists (and some seriously opinionated critics!) to sprinkle Thanksgiving magic all over Stone Crest Residence. Think turkey, pizzazz, and a whole lot of personality. 🍂🖌️

🌒 HOPE IS A HUSH THAT DEFIES THE HOWL

It is the ember in a servant’s heart,
the soft breath behind every “I’ve got you,”
the whisper that says:
✨ Even now, even here, light is possible.

Hope is not naïve.
It has held trembling hands.
It has sat beside fading memory.
It has wept in sullen loss.

And still—
Hope rises with the morn,
it carries through the eventide.
It is our sentinel during velvet hours.

None of it because the world is gentle,
but because you are.
Because love, practiced daily,
becomes a legacy -- your legacy.

...and that is enough to begin again. 💛

“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess…” – Hebrews 10:23

Where Goodness Lingers…

The Homme Wausau Campus is more than buildings and pathways—it’s a place where echoes walk beside us.

Here, the spirit of service runs deep. It flows from the 143-year legacy of Reverend E.J. Homme through Homme Home of Wittenberg, and from the quiet courage of the Sisters of the Divine Savior, who founded St. Mary’s Hospital in 1905 on this very ground. Today, Forest Park Village towers in its place, carrying forward a mission of service that never truly left.

On this historic campus, walk over and sit in The Garden’s Atrium. Quiet yourself and let the noise fade. You may feel it—the hush of devotion, the trace of hands that healed, the presence of those who gave of themselves so others might thrive. Their goodness is not gone. It lingers in the walls, in the soil, and in the footfalls of time. Their sacrifice continues to be part of the culture in how we serve and conduct ourselves on this revered ground.

To all who serve others with humility and heart in Wausau and beyond: thank you. You are part of something enduring and alive. And real.

“Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.”
—Proverbs 3:3

🧠✨ Hope on the Horizon for Alzheimer’s Prevention

This isn’t just a scientific milestone—it’s a message of hope. While more studies are needed to confirm the findings, this research lights the path toward prevention, not just treatment.

Every step forward brings us closer to a future where memory loss is no longer inevitable. 💙

Clinical trial of people destined to develop early-onset Alzheimer’s disease shows eliminating amyloid from brain may prevent symptoms, supports need for confirmatory studies

🌿 The Atrium Auxiliary was out in full force today, giving The Gardens a fresh dose of TLC! They keep the greens glowing and the spirit growing. 💚

🍂 Fading Gild and Changing Skies

The golden thread that crowned her youthful brow, a sunlit river, bright, where breezes played, now softens, as the summer's fervor now begins to dim, a promise to be weighed. For in the strands, a silver whisper lies, A quiet echo of the coming frost, Reflecting not the blush of azure skies, But memory of brilliance nearly lost.

So, too, the world in rich autumnal hue lets slip its emerald cloak for shades of rust, and air grows sharp where sunbeams pierced anew, as vibrant life returns to sacred dust. Her hair, a harvest, bountiful and sweet, mirrors the year: a splendor that will fade, A gentle grace in nature's slow retreat, A lovely pattern time has finely made.

Yet, though...the gold.
